Product details
Overview
LPC11A12FHN33/101 from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller in HVQFN33 (7 × 7 mm) package, operating up to 50 MHz with 16 kB flash, 4 kB SRAM, and 1 kB EEPROM. It integrates a 10-bit ADC (8 channels), 10-bit DAC, analog comparator, temperature sensor, and UART/SSP/I²C interfaces - deployed in industrial control, remote monitoring, and precision instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LPC11A12FHN33/101 datasheet, LPC11A12FHN33/101 pinout, LPC11A12FHN33/101 application, or LPC11A12FHN33/101 equivalent, key selection factors include its 28 GPIO count, 50 ns glitch-filtered I²C pins (PIO0_2/PIO0_3), high-current sink capability (20 mA on PIO0_2/PIO0_3), SWD debug interface, and support for RS-485/USART with fractional baud rate generation.
Technical Context
The LPC11A12FHN33/101 implements an ARM Cortex-M0 core with NVIC and system tick timer, paired with a configurable clock system featuring 12 MHz ±1% IRC, crystal oscillator (1–25 MHz), PLL, and low-power LFOsc. Its memory subsystem includes boot ROM (16 kB), flash (16 kB), SRAM (4 kB), and EEPROM (1 kB) with byte-level erasability.
Analog/mixed-signal resources are software-configurable: the 10-bit ADC supports 8-channel multiplexing with programmable triggers (ATRG0/ATRG1), the 10-bit DAC provides flexible conversion timing, and the analog comparator includes a programmable reference (VDDCMP) and five input options (ACMP_I1–I5).
