Overview

The LPC11U68JBD64K is an ARM Cortex-M0+ based microcontroller designed for entry-level applications requiring high flash density and integrated USB connectivity. Operating at speeds up to 50 MHz, it features 256 KB of Flash and 4 KB of on-chip EEPROM for persistent data storage without external components. This device is specifically optimized for low-power operation and efficient USB communication through its integrated crystal-less USB controller.

Why Choose This Part

The inclusion of 4 KB of true integrated EEPROM significantly reduces system complexity and PCB area by eliminating external memory ICs. Its AHB multilayer matrix and DMA controller provide high-throughput data movement without taxing the CPU, while the crystal-less USB mode simplifies oscillator circuitry.

Applications

USB Peripherals
Utilizes the crystal-less low-speed USB mode to reduce BOM cost in computer peripherals and HID devices.
Industrial Data Loggers
Leverages the integrated 4 KB EEPROM and 256 KB Flash for logging sensor data and storing calibration parameters.
Battery-Powered Instruments
Ideal for handheld devices due to low-power modes including deep power-down and a runtime current of 7.8mA at 50MHz.
Consumer Electronics Control
Functions as a main system controller for smart home appliances requiring USB field updates and low standby power.

Getting Started

Development is supported by NXP's MCUXpresso IDE and the LPCOpen software libraries which provide driver support for all peripherals. Engineers can utilize Serial Wire Debug (SWD) for real-time debugging and the Micro Trace Buffer (MTB) for instruction tracing. The chip supports In-System Programming (ISP) via USB or UART for easy firmware deployment.
