NXP Semiconductors
ARM Microcontrollers - MCU LPC1768FBD100/LQFP100///STANDARD MARKING * TRAY DR

Overview

The LPC1768FBD100 is an Arm Cortex-M3 based microcontroller designed for high-performance embedded applications operating at up to 100 MHz. It features 512 KB of flash memory, 64 KB of SRAM, and a rich set of peripherals including a Motor Control PWM and a Quadrature Encoder Interface.

Why Choose This Part

The multilayer AHB matrix and 8-channel GPDMA controller minimize CPU overhead during high-bandwidth data transfers. Its 100 MHz Cortex-M3 core provides a significant performance boost over older ARM7TDMI designs while maintaining low power consumption in deep-sleep modes.

Applications

Industrial Networking
Utilizing the integrated Ethernet MAC and CAN 2.0B controllers for industrial gateway and communication tasks.
Motor Control
Leveraging the specialized Motor Control PWM and Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI) for precise three-phase motor drive applications.
Lighting Control
Managing complex LED or architectural lighting systems via high-speed GPIO and multiple timer units.
Point-of-Sale Terminals
Handling secure data processing and peripheral management in retail hardware using the integrated MPU and DMA controller.

Getting Started

Engineers can begin development using the NXP MCUXpresso IDE or Keil MDK, and the part is widely supported by the mbed online ecosystem. Hardware prototyping is commonly performed using the LPC1768-based mbed NXP LPC1768 development board or the OM11043 evaluation kit.
