LPC1768UKZ
Overview
The LPC1768UKZ is a high-performance ARM Cortex-M3 based microcontroller designed for embedded applications requiring high integration and low power consumption. It operates at frequencies up to 100 MHz and features a multi-layer AHB bus matrix with separate peripherals like Ethernet, USB, and CAN controllers to maximize data throughput.
Why Choose This Part
This MCU offers a rich peripheral set including 512 KB of Flash and 64 KB of SRAM, providing ample space for complex RTOS-based applications. Its power management system includes three reduced power modes and an independent battery supply for the Real-Time Clock, ensuring efficiency in battery-backed designs.
Applications
Getting Started
Developers can use the NXP MCUXpresso IDE or Keil MDK for software development, with the LPCXpresso1768 evaluation board providing a ready-to-use hardware platform. Firmware can be programmed via the integrated bootloader over UART or through a standard JTAG/SWD interface using a probe like the LPC-Link2.
