Introduction

The Keil MCB2300 Evaluation Board allows you to generate and test application programs for the NXP LPC23xx device family. With this hands-on process, you can determine the hardware and software requirements for current and future product development.

This board is available in four variants: the MCB2360, the MCB2370, the MCB2387 and the MCB2388.

• The MCB2360 is populated with the NXP LPC2368 microcontroller.
• The MCB2370 is populated with the NXP LPC2378 microcontroller.
• The MCB2387 is populated with the NXP LPC2387 microcontroller.
• The MCB2388 is populated with the NXP LPC2388 microcontroller.

The supplied microcontroller is the only difference between the MCB2360, MCB2370, and the MCB2387 boards. The MCB2388 board contains additional components for extended USB support.

Because the NXP LPC2368 and LPC2387 microcontrollers have the same package size and pin count, the MCB2360 and MCB2387 boards look the same except for the identification information on the microcontroller device.

MCB2300 Board with NXP LPC2368 or LPC2387 Microcontroller

The MCB2370 board uses the NXP LPC2378 microcontroller which has a larger package size and pin count than the NXP LPC2368 or LPC2387.

The MCB2360, MCB2370, MCB2387 and MCB2388 boards contain all hardware components required in a single-chip LPC2300 system.

Note

• This manual uses MCB2300 as a generic term to refer to the MCB2360, MCB2370, MCB2387 or MCB2388 board.
