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

Industrial Networking
Utilizing the integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC and dual CAN 2.0B controllers for robust factory floor communications.
USB Peripherals
Implementing USB 2.0 full-speed Device/Host/OTG interfaces for data logging or human interface devices.
Motor Control
Leveraging the Motor Control PWM and Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI) for precise three-phase motor drive applications.
Protocol Converters
Acting as a gateway between UART, SPI, I2C, and Ethernet or CAN networks in heterogeneous systems.

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.
