#147004 - LPC - Good question...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I think Erik is referring to the NXP (founded by Philips) "LPC900" range of low-cost, low pin-count 8051-based microcontrollers:

http://www.standardics.nxp.com/products/lpc900/

Effectively, you'd roll your own I2C (or whatever) to UART converter - which might actually work out cheaper (component-wise at least) than a standard I2C-to-UART chip...

I used to think that the "LPC" actually stood for "Low Pin-Count" - but they also use it for their ARM-based controllers with several hundred pins!!
