NuMicro NUC230 / NUC240 series of 32-bit ARM microcontrollers


Nuvoton Technology Corporation company introduced two new series of 32-bit microcontrollers with embedded ARM® Cortex-M0 core: NuMicro NUC230 (CAN series) and NUC240 (Connectivity Series) designed for consumer electronics and industrial control applications. They provide the high 72 MHz operating speed and are equipped with a rich set of peripherals. Compared to the older series NUC230 and NUC240, NUC230 / NUC240 microcontrollers have additional CAN communication interface.
