Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LPC1114FBD48/333 | 56 kB flash, same 8 kB SRAM, identical LQFP48 pinout and peripheral set - differs only in flash capacity and part number suffix. | Suitable where firmware image size exceeds 56 kB but remains under 64 kB; no hardware or layout change required. | Select when firmware growth approaches 56 kB limit and future-proofing against minor feature additions is needed. |
| LPC11U15FBD48/303 | Same package and pinout, adds USB 2.0 device controller, 12-bit ADC, and enhanced debug features - higher cost and power consumption. | Required only if native USB device functionality (e.g., firmware update over USB-CDC) is mandatory in end product. | Choose only when USB connectivity justifies added BOM cost and complexity; otherwise, LPC1115FBD48/303 offers optimal cost/performance balance. |
Compared with LPC1114FBD48/333, the LPC1115FBD48/303 provides 8 kB additional flash for larger protocol stacks or field-upgradable features; versus LPC11U15FBD48/303, it avoids USB-related silicon overhead and power draw, making it preferable for RS-485/I²C-only industrial nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LPC1115FBD48/303?
The LPC1115FBD48/303 operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 50 MHz. This is achieved using the on-chip PLL driven by either the internal 12 MHz RC oscillator or an external crystal. The 50 MHz clock feeds the ARM Cortex-M0 core, APB bus, and all peripheral modules, enabling deterministic real-time execution in applications such as motor control and lighting sequencing. The LPC1115FBD48/303 maintains full peripheral functionality at this speed.
Does the LPC1115FBD48/303 support RS-485 communication natively?
Yes, the LPC1115FBD48/303 UART supports RS-485 operation through hardware-assisted features including RTS/CTS flow control, DTR signaling, and automatic direction control via timer match outputs. Its UART implements fractional baud rate generation and internal FIFOs, allowing reliable half-duplex communication over noisy industrial lines. The LPC1115FBD48/303 does not include a built-in RS-485 transceiver, but its pinout and control logic are optimized for seamless interface with external transceivers like SN65HVD72.
How many ADC channels does the LPC1115FBD48/303 provide, and what is the resolution?
The LPC1115FBD48/303 integrates a 10-bit successive approximation ADC with multiplexing across up to 8 input channels (AD0–AD7), all accessible on the LQFP48 package. Conversion is triggered by software, timer match, or external event, with typical sampling rates up to 400 kSPS. The ADC supports burst mode for rapid sequential sampling and includes dedicated result registers per channel - essential for synchronized voltage and current measurement in power conversion systems using the LPC1115FBD48/303.
What power-saving modes are available on the LPC1115FBD48/303?
The LPC1115FBD48/303 offers three reduced-power modes: Sleep (CPU halted, peripherals active), Deep-sleep (CPU and most clocks stopped, SRAM retained), and Deep power-down (SRAM and registers powered down, wake-up only via dedicated pins or WWDT timeout). In Deep power-down, typical current consumption is below 1 µA. Wake-up from Deep-sleep is supported on up to 13 GPIO pins, and the WWDT can be configured to force wake-up or reset - making the LPC1115FBD48/303 ideal for battery-operated alarm sensors and remote meters.
Is the LPC1115FBD48/303 pin-compatible with other LPC11xx LQFP48 variants?
Yes, the LPC1115FBD48/303 shares identical LQFP48 pinout and electrical characteristics with all LPC11xx family members in the same package, including LPC1113FBD48/303, LPC1114FBD48/303, and LPC1114FBD48/333. Pin functions, power/ground locations, and debug interface (SWDIO/SWCLK) are fully aligned. Firmware compatibility depends on flash size and peripheral enablement - for example, code written for LPC1114FBD48/333 will run unmodified on LPC1115FBD48/303, leveraging the additional 8 kB flash space.
