Product details
Overview
LPC1125JBD48/303QL from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller in LQFP48 package, operating up to 50 MHz with 64 kB flash, 8 kB SRAM, 38 GPIO pins, three RS-485 UARTs, two SSP interfaces, one Fast-mode Plus I²C bus, and a 12-bit 2 Msamples/s ADC - deployed in eMetering, lighting control, and alarm systems.
For engineers reviewing the LPC1125JBD48/303QL datasheet, LPC1125JBD48/303QL pinout, LPC1125JBD48/303QL application, or LPC1125JBD48/303QL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50 MHz CPU frequency, 38 GPIO with wake-up capability, 12-bit ADC performance, dual SSP support, and low-power Deep-sleep/Deep power-down modes for embedded sensing and industrial control.
Technical Context
The LPC1125JBD48/303QL 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 to sustain 50 MHz operation without external high-frequency crystals.
Peripheral architecture uses AHB-Lite for high-speed GPIO and flash access, APB for UART/SSP/I²C/ADC, and dedicated IOCON block for pin multiplexing. All 38 GPIO pins support edge/level-sensitive interrupts and configurable pull-up/pull-down; PIO0_7 provides 20 mA high-current output, while PIO0_4/PIO0_5 support 20 mA sink in I²C Fast-mode Plus.
Key Specifications
