1. Introduction
1.1 LPC551x/S1x
The LPC551x/S1x MCU family expands the world’s first general purpose Cortex-M33-
based MCU series, offering significant advantages for developers, including pin-,
software- and peripheral-compatibility for ease of use and to accelerate time to market,
while leveraging the cost-effective 40-nm NVM process technology.
The LPC551x/S1x is the baseline family within the LPC5500 MCU series, providing new
levels of cost and performance efficiency in addition to advanced security and system
integration for industrial and general embedded markets.

1.2 LPC55S16-EVK: LPCXpresso55S16 Development Board
The LPCXpresso55S16 board provides the ideal platform for evaluation of the
LPC55S1x/LPC551x MCU family, based on the Arm® Cortex®-M33 architecture.
Arduino® UNO compatible shield connectors are included, with additional expansion
ports around the Arduino footprint, along with a PMod/host interface port and
MikroElektronika Click module site. The board features an on-board LPC-Link2 debug
probe based on the LPC4322 MCU for a performance debug experience over high-speed
