Overview

The LPC1768FET100Y is a high-performance ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller operating at 100MHz, designed for embedded applications requiring high integration and low power consumption. It features 512KB of Flash memory, 64KB of SRAM, and a comprehensive peripheral set including Ethernet, USB 2.0 Host/OTG/Device, and dual CAN interfaces.

Why Choose This Part

The Cortex-M3 core provides efficient 32-bit performance with a low power profile of 42mA at 100MHz. Its extensive connectivity suite, including USB and Ethernet, eliminates the need for external interface controllers, while the TFBGA100 package offers a high I/O count in a compact 9x9mm footprint.

Applications

Industrial Networking
Utilizes the integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC and dual CAN 2.0B controllers for robust industrial gateway and communication tasks.
Motor Control
Leverages the Motor Control PWM with support for three-phase motor control and a Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI).
Point-of-Sale (POS) Terminals
Combines high-speed processing with USB connectivity and large internal memory for secure transaction handling.
Lighting Controls
Uses multiple PWM outputs and flexible serial interfaces to manage complex commercial lighting systems.
