(SPIDER Automation) Nuvoton NuTiny ARM Cortex-M0 Starter Kit – NUC140 | NUC140VE3CN Evaluation Board with Nu-Link-Me USB Programmer & Debugger

SPIDER Automation Nuvoton NuTiny ARM Cortex-M0 Starter Kit – NUC140

Description

SPIDER Automation Nuvoton NuTiny ARM Cortex-M0 Starter Kit – NUC140 is a specific, feature-packed development tool designed to help engineers and students easily prototype, develop, and verify applications built around the Nuvoton NuMicro NUC140 series. Powered by the NUC140VE3CN target microcontroller, the board combines a high-efficiency 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M0 processor core operating up to 50 MHz with robust memory resources, including 128 KB of Flash memory and 16 KB of SRAM.

The NuTiny-NUC140 kit is ingeniously divided into two modular sections: the NUC140 evaluation board and the integrated Nu-Link-Me USB programmer and debugger adaptor. This dual-board architecture eliminates the need for expensive external In-Circuit Emulators (ICE) or separate debug equipment. Simply connect a USB Mini-B cable to your PC to handle power delivery, code flashing, and real-time debugging through industry-standard toolchains like Keil MDK and IAR EWARM. With pre-mounted system clock crystals (12 MHz and 32.768 kHz), a reset push-button, and extensive peripheral breakouts covering CAN 2.0B, USB 2.0, SPI, I2C, and multi-channel 12-bit ADCs, it provides an exceptional platform for industrial automation and embedded control design.

Key Features

• Nuvoton ARM® Cortex®-M0 Core: 32-bit processor operating at up to 50 MHz with high code density and energy efficiency.
• Integrated Nu-Link-Me Programmer: Onboard USB programmer and debugger supporting direct flash loading and debugging without external probes.
• Robust On-Chip Memory: Equipped with 128 KB of Flash memory and 16 KB of SRAM supporting ISP (In-System Programming) and ICP.
• Industrial Communication Interfaces: Features 1 x Bosch CAN 2.0B bus interface, USB 2.0 Full Speed, multiple SPI, I2C, and UART ports.
• Advanced Analog Capabilities: Up to 8 channels of 12-bit ADCs (800 kSPS) and an integrated temperature sensor accurate to ±1°C.
• Flexible PWM Peripherals: 8-channel PWM or three complementary paired PWM outputs with period/duty trigger ADC functions.
• Clock Control Architecture: Pre-mounted 4-24 MHz external crystal oscillator, 32.768 kHz RTC crystal, and internal 22.1184 MHz RC oscillator.

Benefits
