Overview

The LPC1788FBD144 is an ARM Cortex-M3 based microcontroller running at 120MHz, designed for high-integration applications requiring significant connectivity and peripheral support. It features 512KB of Flash, 96KB of RAM, and a specialized LCD controller for driving graphical user interfaces directly from the MCU.

Why Choose This Part

The inclusion of an External Bus Interface (EBI) allows for easy expansion to external SDRAM or Flash, which is critical for memory-intensive graphical applications. The 5V tolerant I/O pins simplify interfacing with legacy industrial hardware, while the 12-bit ADC provides higher precision than standard 10-bit integrated converters.

Applications

Industrial Control Panels
Utilizes the integrated LCD controller and 120MHz clock speed to drive HMI displays and manage industrial automation logic.
Networked Gateways
Leverages the on-chip 10/100 Ethernet MAC and dual CAN channels for bridging industrial fieldbus protocols.
Motor Control Systems
Employs the specialized Motor Control PWM peripheral with support for three-phase motor drive architectures.
Data Loggers
Uses the 4KB of on-chip EEPROM for non-volatile parameter storage and the Memory Card interface for high-capacity external logging.
