MCB2100 Evaluation Board
The Keil MCB2100 Evaluation Board introduces you to the NXP (founded by
Philips) LPC2129 family of ARM processor-based devices. The MCB2100
allows you to quickly create and test programs for this advanced
architecture.
The Keil MCB2100 Evaluation Board connects to your PC using the serial
port (for Flash download using FlashMagic) or the JTAG interface (for
program debug using a Keil ULINK family USB-JTAG Adapter and the µVision
IDE and Debugger).
Two Serial and two CAN interfaces make this board a great starting point for
your next ARM project.

ULINK family USB-JTAG Adapter for high-performance Debug/Download (optional).
Starter Kit
The MCB2100 is also available as a starter kit which includes the ULINK-ME USB-JTAG adapter.
Part numbers are:
MCB2100 (Board Only )
MCB2100UME (MCB2100 + ULINK-ME)
Evaluation Software
The MCB2100 Evaluation Board and Starter Kit include MDK-ARM Evaluation Tools. These tools help you get started writing
programs and testing the microcontroller and its capabilities. Sample applications which run on the MCB2100 are included.
Introduction
The Keil MCB2100 Evaluation Board allows you to generate and test application programs for the NXP LPC2100 microcontroller
family. With this hands-on process, you can determine hardware and software requirements for current and future product
development.
The MCB2100 Evaluation Board ships with an LPC21xx device that is a superset of several other device variants of the NXP
LPC2100 microcontroller series. The MCB2100 Board contains all hardware components required in a single-chip LPC2100
system.
Features
The connectors on the MCB2100 evaluation board provide easy access to many of the on-chip peripherals.
Dual Serial Ports
Standard DB9 connectors are on the MCB2100 board for both of the LPC21xx's serial ports. Your application may use
either or both of these ports.
Dual CAN Ports
Standard DB9 connectors are on the MCB2100 board for applications requiring CAN communications. Your application
may use either or both of these ports, or they may be disabled with a configuration jumper.
Analog Voltage Control for ADC Input
An adjustable analog voltage source is on the MCB2100 board for testing the Analog to Digital output feature of the
LPC21xx. A configuration jumper enables and disables this feature.
JTAG Download and Debug
A JTAG interface is on the MCB2100 board and, coupled with the ULINK USB-JTAG adapter, allows flash programming.
The on-chip debug interface can perform real-time in-circuit emulation of the LPC21xx device. For fast PC
communication, use your PC's USB port.
Hardware Requirements
To use the MCB2100 Evaluation Kit, you need:
The MCB2100 Evaluation Board.
