Product details
Overview
LPC11U24FBD48/40EL from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller in LQFP48 package, operating up to 50 MHz with 32 kB flash, 8 kB SRAM, 4 kB EEPROM, full-speed USB 2.0 device controller, 10-bit ADC (8 channels), and 40 GPIO pins. It targets USB-connected embedded control applications such as medical peripherals and industrial USB interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LPC11U24FBD48/40EL datasheet, LPC11U24FBD48/40EL pinout, LPC11U24FBD48/40EL application, or LPC11U24FBD48/40EL equivalent, key selection criteria include USB device stack support in ROM, 4 kB byte-erasable EEPROM, 5 V-tolerant GPIO with configurable pull-up/pull-down, and Deep power-down wake-up via dedicated WAKEUP pin (PIO0_16).
Technical Context
The LPC11U24FBD48/40EL integrates dual PLLs-one for CPU clock generation (up to 50 MHz) and a dedicated USB PLL-enabling simultaneous high-performance execution and reliable full-speed USB communication. Its memory subsystem includes separate 32 kB flash, 8 kB SRAM, and 4 kB EEPROM with IAP capability, all accessible via AHB/APB bus matrix.
Peripheral architecture features two SSP controllers with FIFO and multi-protocol support, one Fast-mode Plus I²C-bus interface (1 Mbit/s), one USART with RS-485/ISO7816 smart card mode, four general-purpose timers (including windowed watchdog), and a 10-bit ADC with eight analog inputs-all mapped to 40 GPIO pins in the LQFP48 package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | ARM Cortex-M0, 32-bit RISC, up to 50 MHz operation - enables efficient C/C++ code execution with low gate count and minimal power. |
| Memory | 32 kB flash / 8 kB SRAM / 4 kB EEPROM - supports firmware updates via USB, persistent data storage without external components, and real-time variable retention. |
| USB Interface | Full-speed USB 2.0 device controller with ROM-based drivers - eliminates need for external USB PHY or driver development; enables HID, CDC, and MSC class implementations out-of-box. |
| ADC | 10-bit SAR ADC with 8 input channels - provides sufficient resolution for sensor interfacing (e.g., temperature, pressure) without external signal conditioning in many cases. |
| GPIO | 40 programmable I/O pins with 5 V tolerance, configurable pull-up/pull-down, repeater mode, and open-drain - simplifies level translation and direct connection to industrial sensors and actuators. |
| Power Modes | Sleep, Deep-sleep, Power-down, Deep power-down - Deep power-down draws <1 µA and wakes via PIO0_16, enabling battery-powered USB peripherals with multi-year shelf life. |
| Package | LQFP48, 7 × 7 × 1.4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch - industry-standard footprint compatible with automated assembly and rework; thermal performance validated for continuous 50 MHz operation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: LQFP48 (SOT313-2), plastic low-profile quad flat package, 48 leads, body size 7 mm × 7 mm × 1.4 mm, 0.5 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RESET/PIO0_0 | Reset input / GPIO | Active-low reset with 20 ns glitch filter; doubles as debug select (JTAG vs SWD); must be pulled HIGH externally in Deep power-down mode. |
| USB_DP / USB_DM | USB differential pair | Full-speed USB 2.0 D+ and D− lines compliant with USB specification; not 5 V tolerant; require 1.5 kΩ SoftConnect pull-up on DP controlled by PIO0_6. |
| PIO0_16/AD5/CT32B1_MAT3/WAKEUP | Multi-function pin | In Deep power-down, functions exclusively as WAKEUP input with 20 ns glitch filter; also serves as ADC input 5 and timer match output - enables ultra-low-power wake-on-event design. |
| PIO0_4/SCL & PIO0_5/SDA | I²C-bus interface | Open-drain I²C pins supporting Fast-mode Plus (1 Mbit/s); require external pull-ups; high-current sink capability when Fast-mode Plus enabled - reduces need for external buffer in noisy environments. |
| VDD / VSS | Power supply rails | Single 3.3 V supply (1.8–3.6 V range); VDD also serves as ADC reference voltage - simplifies BOM by eliminating separate reference IC for basic analog sensing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ROM-based USB stack | Pre-integrated USB device firmware in boot ROM enables immediate USB enumeration without flash space consumption or driver porting effort. |
| Byte-erasable EEPROM | 4 kB on-chip EEPROM supports individual byte erase/write - ideal for storing calibration data, device IDs, or configuration parameters without wear-leveling overhead. |
| Dual PLL architecture | Separate CPU and USB PLLs allow independent clock domain optimization - maintains USB timing integrity while scaling CPU frequency dynamically. |
| Deep power-down wake-up pin | Dedicated WAKEUP function on PIO0_16 with hardware glitch filtering - eliminates need for external wake-up circuitry in battery-operated USB peripherals. |
| 5 V-tolerant GPIO | 40 pins tolerate 5 V inputs while powered from 3.3 V - enables direct interfacing with legacy industrial logic, RS-485 transceivers, and sensor modules without level shifters. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LPC11U24FBD48/40EL?
The LPC11U24FBD48/40EL operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 50 MHz, achieved using either the internal 12 MHz IRC oscillator with PLL multiplication or an external crystal (1–25 MHz) fed into the system oscillator and PLL. This frequency is fully supported across the specified industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C) and 1.8–3.6 V supply.
Does the LPC11U24FBD48/40EL include on-chip EEPROM, and what are its write characteristics?
Yes, the LPC11U24FBD48/40EL includes 4 kB of on-chip EEPROM that is byte-erasable and byte-programmable. Write operations are performed via In-Application Programming (IAP) calls from the ROM bootloader, with typical write time of 10 ms per byte and endurance rated for 100,000 write cycles - sufficient for infrequent parameter updates in medical or industrial logging applications.
How does the USB interface on the LPC11U24FBD48/40EL differ from standard USB-capable MCUs?
The LPC11U24FBD48/40EL integrates a full-speed USB 2.0 device controller with ROM-resident USB device stack (HID, CDC, MSC classes), eliminating the need to allocate flash space for USB firmware or develop low-level drivers. Its USB_FTOGGLE pin (PIO0_1) provides hardware-generated SOF signaling, and SoftConnect (via PIO0_6) enables software-controlled USB attachment without external components.
Can the LPC11U24FBD48/40EL enter ultra-low-power modes, and how is wake-up managed?
Yes, the LPC11U24FBD48/40EL supports Deep power-down mode drawing less than 1 µA. Wake-up is managed exclusively through the dedicated WAKEUP pin (PIO0_16), which features built-in 20 ns glitch filtering. An external LOW pulse on this pin exits Deep power-down and restores full operation - no additional external circuitry is required for battery-powered USB peripherals.
What are the analog input capabilities of the LPC11U24FBD48/40EL?
The LPC11U24FBD48/40EL features a 10-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with eight selectable input channels (AD0–AD7), each mapped to dedicated GPIO pins. The ADC uses VDD as reference, supports single-ended sampling, and achieves 1.0 LSB integral nonlinearity. Conversion is triggered by software, timer match, or external event, with typical throughput of 400 kSPS.
