Overview

The OM13058UL is an LPCXpresso development board designed for evaluating the LPC11U68 microcontroller, featuring an ARM Cortex-M0+ core running at up to 50MHz. This board provides a complete hardware platform for developing USB-based applications, utilizing the MCU's integrated USB 2.0 full-speed device controller. It includes an on-board debug probe and easy access to 80 GPIO pins through the standard LPCXpresso layout.

Why Choose This Part

The board features a high memory density for its class, with 256KB Flash and 36KB RAM, plus 4KB of on-chip EEPROM for non-volatile parameter storage. Its 5V tolerant I/O simplifies interfacing with legacy industrial sensors and consumer peripherals while maintaining the power efficiency of a 50MHz Cortex-M0+ core.

Applications

USB Peripheral Development
Designing human interface devices (HID), mass storage class (MSC), or communication port (CDC) devices using the integrated USB controller.
Low-Power Data Logging
Utilizing the 256KB flash and 4KB internal EEPROM alongside low-power modes for battery-operated sensor monitoring.
Industrial Sensor Hubs
Aggregating data from multiple sensors via 12 ADC channels, 2 I2C ports, and 2 SPI interfaces.
Consumer Electronics Prototyping
Developing smart home controllers or interface panels that require 5V tolerant I/O and high pin count (80 GPIO).

Getting Started

Start development by connecting the board to a PC via USB to use the integrated Link2 debug probe with the MCUXpresso IDE. The board can be split into two sections to allow the probe to debug external target MCUs via SWD or JTAG headers. Developers can download the LPCOpen software libraries to access drivers for the USB, DMA, and serial peripherals.
