The mbed NXP LPC1768 development board from ARM enables quick and easy creation of high-performance prototypes. Based on the powerful NXP LPC1768 Cortex-M3 processor, which runs at 96 MHz and offers 512 KB flash and 32 KB SRAM, the 32-bit mbed can handily outperform popular 8-bit prototyping platforms like the  and . The mbed NXP LPC1768 also offers peripherals not typically found on lower-performance prototyping boards, such as ethernet, USB OTG, a 12-bit ADC, a 10-bit DAC for a true analog voltage output, in addition to more common interfaces like serial (UART), SPI, I2C, and CAN. The mbed has a 40-pin DIP form factor with 0.1"-pitch male header pins already soldered in, so it can be used with standard  and perfboards. (Note that while standard DIP ICs have a row spacing of 0.6", the mbed rows have a spacing of 0.9".)
