Product details
Overview
LPC11E36FBD64/501E from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller in LQFP64 package, operating at up to 50 MHz with 96 kB flash, 12 kB SRAM, and 4 kB EEPROM. It integrates a 10-bit ADC (8 channels), one RS-485/UART with smart card support, two SSP interfaces, Fast-mode Plus I²C (1 Mbit/s), four timers, and 54 GPIO pins - deployed in industrial control systems requiring deterministic real-time response and low-power operation.
For engineers reviewing the LPC11E36FBD64/501E datasheet, LPC11E36FBD64/501E pinout, LPC11E36FBD64/501E application, or LPC11E36FBD64/501E equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50 MHz CPU clock, 54 GPIO with interrupt grouping, 4 kB byte-erasable EEPROM, dual SSP for SPI daisy-chaining, and Deep power-down wake-up via dedicated WAKEUP pin.
Technical Context
The LPC11E36FBD64/501E implements an ARM Cortex-M0 core with NVIC supporting 24 vectored interrupts and four priority levels, enabling deterministic real-time task handling. Its memory subsystem includes 96 kB flash organized in 4 kB sectors and 256-byte pages, 12 kB SRAM, and 4 kB EEPROM with on-chip API for byte-level erasure and programming.
Peripheral integration centers on mixed-signal flexibility: the 10-bit ADC multiplexes across eight pins; the USART supports RS-485 half-duplex, ISO 7816-3 smart card mode, and synchronous operation; and two SSP controllers provide FIFO-based multi-protocol SPI communication. Clocking uses a 1–25 MHz crystal oscillator, 12 MHz IRC, and PLL for full-speed CPU operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LPC11E36FBD64/501E?
The LPC11E36FBD64/501E operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 50 MHz, achieved using either the internal 12 MHz IRC oscillator with PLL multiplication or an external 1–25 MHz crystal oscillator. This frequency is fully supported across the specified industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C) and 1.8–3.6 V supply voltage.
Does the LPC11E36FBD64/501E include on-chip EEPROM, and what are its write characteristics?
Yes, the LPC11E36FBD64/501E integrates 4 kB of on-chip EEPROM that is byte-erasable and byte-programmable. It uses an on-chip API accessible via IAP calls, supports 100,000 write/erase cycles, and retains data for 20 years at 85 °C. No external high-voltage programming is required.
How many GPIO pins does the LPC11E36FBD64/501E support, and what advanced I/O features are available?
The LPC11E36FBD64/501E provides up to 54 general-purpose I/O pins in the LQFP64 package. Each pin supports configurable pull-up/pull-down resistors, repeater mode, and true open-drain operation. Eight pins can serve as edge- or level-sensitive interrupt sources, and two GPIO group interrupt modules allow pattern-matching across pin groups.
What serial communication interfaces are integrated into the LPC11E36FBD64/501E?
The LPC11E36FBD64/501E integrates one USART supporting RS-485/EIA-485, ISO 7816-3 smart card mode, and synchronous operation; two SSP controllers compatible with SPI, Microwire, and TI SSI protocols; and one Fast-mode Plus I²C-bus interface capable of 1 Mbit/s data rates with multi-address recognition.
What power-saving modes does the LPC11E36FBD64/501E support, and how is wake-up handled from Deep power-down?
The LPC11E36FBD64/501E supports Sleep, Deep-sleep, Power-down, and Deep power-down modes. In Deep power-down, current drops to 1.2 μA. Wake-up is performed exclusively via the dedicated WAKEUP pin (PIO0_16), which detects a LOW-going pulse as short as 50 ns - no other pin or peripheral can exit this mode.
