LPC Host
Design IP
Overview

SmartDV’s LPC (Low Pin Count) Host IP is a silicon-proven solution that enables efficient communication with LPC-compliant peripheral devices. Designed for embedded systems, firmware interfaces, and platform control functions, it provides a cost-effective alternative to parallel bus interfaces while minimizing pin count and system complexity.

Designed for flexibility, the IP core is highly configurable to meet specific design requirements, supporting both ASIC and FPGA implementations while optimizing for area, power, and performance. It supports all standard LPC transactions including I/O, memory, DMA, and firmware cycles, and integrates easily with legacy and modern system architectures.
