Overview

The LPC54618J512ET180E is a high-performance ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller running at 180MHz with a rich set of connectivity and display features. It integrates 512KB of flash memory, 200KB of SRAM, and 16KB of EEPROM, alongside specialized peripherals like an LCD controller and Ethernet MAC. Designed for complex embedded applications, it offers high-speed processing with dedicated hardware for floating-point operations and memory protection.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU provides an excellent balance of performance and efficiency with a 24mA run current at its full 180MHz clock speed. The inclusion of 16KB of on-chip EEPROM simplifies non-volatile data storage for calibration parameters, while the 180-TFBGA package provides a massive 145 I/O pins for complex system integration. Its hardware-based LCD controller and comprehensive connectivity suite reduce the need for external bridge chips.
