The latest Users Manual for the LPC2378 (V1.07 / Oct. 2007 / 11MB!) from the NXP microcontroller web page.


LPC2101/2/3 User's Manual , on the NXP microcontroller website
 LPC211x, LPC212x, LPC2194, LPC22xx includes all /01 versions LPC2114, LPC2124, LPC2210, LPC2212, LPC2214, LPC2109, LPC2119, LPC2129, LPC2194, LPC2290, LPC2292, LPC2294 User's Manual , includes /01 versions Dec. 21, 2007  (>7 MB) 
The /01 versions have improved features and fixed Erratas! Fast I/O improved SPI / SSP, improved UART and more were added.
 LPC214x information and IBIS models The LPC2148 is a 64-pin version with extended on-chip memory, Brown Out Detect, RTC in Power Down,  USB device, ADC and DAC. More information on the NXP website. Other derivatives of the LPC214x family include the LPC2141, LPC2142, LPC2144 and LPC2146. IBIS models for the LPC214x and LPC213x are published here.
Other ARM7s and ARM9s Here is some information about Luminari Cortex devices, STM32, AT91SAM7 and AT91SAM9 devices. ARM926 with Flash from Atmel (SAM9XE512) NEW
Mature LPC2000 devices Information on the LPC2119 / LPC2129 / LPC2194 / LPC2114 /LPC2124  including the /01 versions with dual CAN channels (July '07)
The LPC213x family comes in a 64-pin package ranging from LPC2131 with 32k Flash/8k RAM to the LPC2138 with 512k Flash/32k RAM. The LPC2148 is a LPC2138 with an additional USB FS.
2 New members announced LPC2157 and LPC2158. These are multichip modules based on LPC2138/LPC2148 and a simple LCD driver, no color, no graphics but low cost.
NEW updated June'08
LPC1700 The CortexM3 based LPC1700 are finally announced. Based on the first data, they are based on the LPC23xx devices coupled with the Cortex M3 core. With a max. clock of 80 MHz these devices would run faster than other existing devices on the market. More information on the LPC1766 and other upcoming devices soon. NEW updated August '08
Development Tools Embedded development tools for the LPC2000 family of ARM7 and other ARM7 and ARM9 based microcontrollers NEW updated May' 08

Best of LPC2000 and LPC3000 from NXP
This section lists newer devices of the LPC2000 or LPC3000 microcontroller families.


 LPC3000
Recently announced, the LPC3200 family! Now an ARM926 with Ethernet, LCD controller, VFP (Vector Floating Point Unit) and a big 256KB SRAM. The Data Sheet for the LPC3250, LPC3240, LPC3230 and LPC3220 is one document and can be dowloaded from this website. These new devices have a hughly improved address / data bus over the LPC3180. For a fast start, check out the Phytec LPC3250 Evaluation board. Updated April '08
LPC3180, a fast low power ARM9 microcontroller in an advanced 90 nm process. Users Manual  LPC3180. .
LPC2300 devices LPC2300 family. The most complete ARM7 microcontroller you can find. Ethernet, 2xCAN, USB device and host, 512k Flash, Internal 4 MHz RC-Oscillator, I2S interface, six 32-bit timers and much more, with datasheet for the LPC2387 NEW  like a LPC2368 but a total of 98k SRAM. The other device is the LPC2388, an LPC2388 is a LPC2378 with 98k SRAM. The datasheet for the LPC2388  NEW 
LPC2400 devices LPC2400 family. In general the same devices as the LPC2300 but with external bus supporting static memory and SDRAM. There are the LPC2468 and LPC2478 in 208-pin packages, LQFP and BGA. Difference between LPC2468 and LPC2478 is the LCD interface on the LPC2478 only. The LPC2458 is available in a BGA180 and the external bus is 16-bit wide only. In addition, there is a LPC2470, a flashless device but otherwise like the LPC2468. Evaluation Boards for the LPC2468 and LPC2478 can be found in the tools section of this site. IBIS models and BSDL files for LPC2300 and LPC2400 devices.
Application Notes
A list of Application Notes  which includes information about compatibility within the LPC2000 devices 
  Hitex UK published a great Insider's Guide for the LPC2000 family and a newer Version for the LPC2300 and LPC2400.  It is difficult to link to, but from here, you select the Insider's Guides, there are several of them also for ARM devices from ST, the STR7 and STR9.

LPC2000 Yahoo User Group Great source for help!  Thank you Leon for starting this group
Philips is now NXP The Philips LPC2000 family is well known. Many developers are still searching the WWW for Philips ARM7 microcontrollers, in 2006, Philips sold the Semiconductor division to investors and the new company name is now called NXP Semiconductors. The Philips LPC2000 family became the NXP LPC2000 family
