Product details
Overview
LPC1125JBD48/303EL from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller in LQFP48 package, operating at up to 50 MHz with 64 kB flash, 8 kB SRAM, 12-bit ADC (2 Msamples/s), three RS-485 UARTs, two SSP interfaces, one Fast-mode Plus I²C bus, and up to 38 GPIO pins - deployed in smart metering, lighting control, and alarm systems.
For engineers reviewing the LPC1125JBD48/303EL datasheet, LPC1125JBD48/303EL pinout, LPC1125JBD48/303EL application, or LPC1125JBD48/303EL equivalent, key selection considerations include its 50 MHz Cortex-M0 core, 38-pin GPIO flexibility with wake-up capability, 12-bit ADC performance, Fast-mode Plus I²C support at 1 Mbit/s, and low-power Deep-sleep/Deep power-down modes for battery-operated edge devices.
Technical Context
The LPC1125JBD48/303EL integrates an ARM Cortex-M0 core with built-in NVIC supporting 32 vectored interrupts and four priority levels, enabling deterministic real-time response in resource-constrained applications. Its clock system combines a 12 MHz ±1% internal RC oscillator, 1–25 MHz crystal oscillator, and programmable PLL - allowing CPU operation up to 50 MHz without external high-frequency crystals.
Digital peripherals include four counter/timers (two 32-bit, two 16-bit) with match/capture functionality, while analog subsystem features an 8-channel 12-bit ADC with hardware threshold comparison and zero-crossing detection. All GPIO pins support configurable pull-up/pull-down, open-drain mode, and edge/level-sensitive interrupt generation - with dedicated wake-up capability on PIO1_4 for Deep power-down recovery.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LPC1125JBD48/303EL?
The LPC1125JBD48/303EL operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 50 MHz, achievable via its integrated PLL driven by either the internal 12 MHz RC oscillator or an external crystal (1–25 MHz). This frequency enables real-time execution of communication stacks and sensor processing algorithms without external clock sources.
Does the LPC1125JBD48/303EL support RS-485 communication natively?
Yes, the LPC1125JBD48/303EL includes three UARTs with built-in RS-485 support, including automatic direction control and 9-bit address detection. No external transceiver logic is required for basic half-duplex RS-485 bus operation - simplifying industrial network node design.
How many analog input channels does the LPC1125JBD48/303EL ADC support?
The LPC1125JBD48/303EL integrates a 12-bit ADC with eight analog input channels (ADC_1 through ADC_8), accessible via dedicated pins including PIO1_0 through PIO1_10 and PIO3_5. The ADC supports hardware-triggered burst conversion and threshold comparison for autonomous monitoring.
What package type is used for the LPC1125JBD48/303EL?
The LPC1125JBD48/303EL is supplied in an LQFP48 package: plastic low-profile quad flat package with 48 leads, body dimensions 7 mm × 7 mm × 1.4 mm, and 0.5 mm lead pitch - compatible with standard surface-mount assembly processes and IPC Class 2/3 reliability requirements.
Can the LPC1125JBD48/303EL enter ultra-low-power states?
Yes, the LPC1125JBD48/303EL supports three reduced-power modes: Sleep, Deep-sleep, and Deep power-down. In Deep power-down mode, current consumption drops to sub-μA levels, and the device can be woken by a LOW pulse on PIO1_4 - making it suitable for battery-powered metering and sensor nodes with multi-year runtime.
