LPC11U34FHN33/421 from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller in HVQFN33 package, featuring 48 kB flash, 8 kB SRAM, 2 kB USB SRAM, 4 kB EEPROM, full-speed USB 2.0 device controller, and 10-bit ADC with 8 input channels. It operates at up to 50 MHz and supports RS-485/UART, I²C-FM+, two SSP interfaces, and four timers - ideal for compact USB-connected embedded control applications.
For engineers reviewing the LPC11U34FHN33/421 datasheet, LPC11U34FHN33/421 pinout, LPC11U34FHN33/421 application, or LPC11U34FHN33/421 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions per HVQFN33 layout, real-world use cases in medical peripherals and industrial USB devices, and validated alternative part selection guidance.
Technical Context
The LPC11U34FHN33/421 implements an ARM Cortex-M0 core with NVIC and system tick timer, paired with dedicated USB PLL and main PLL for independent clock domain management. Its memory subsystem includes 48 kB flash (sector/page erasable), 8 kB SRAM, 2 kB USB-dedicated SRAM, and 4 kB byte-programmable EEPROM with ROM API support.
Digital peripherals include 26 GPIO pins (with configurable pull-up/pull-down, repeater, and open-drain modes), one USART with RS-485/smart card support, two SSP controllers, one I²C-bus interface compliant with Fast-mode Plus (1 Mbit/s), and four general-purpose timers (two 16-bit, two 32-bit) with capture/match capability. No I/O Handler hardware is present - confirmed by Table 2 and Figure 1 block diagram exclusions.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LPC11U34FHN33/421?
The LPC11U34FHN33/421 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 oscillator (1 MHz to 25 MHz) with PLL scaling. This frequency is fully supported across its specified industrial temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C).
Does the LPC11U34FHN33/421 include an I/O Handler peripheral?
No, the LPC11U34FHN33/421 does not include the I/O Handler hardware engine. According to Table 2 and the block diagram (Figure 1), I/O Handler is exclusive to the LPC11U37HFBD64/401 variant. The LPC11U34FHN33/421 relies on standard GPIO and peripheral controllers for serial interface implementation.
How much USB-dedicated RAM does the LPC11U34FHN33/421 provide?
The LPC11U34FHN33/421 provides 2 kB of dedicated USB SRAM, separate from its 8 kB general-purpose SRAM. This memory is allocated exclusively for USB endpoint buffers and descriptor tables, ensuring deterministic USB transaction timing without competing with application code or data.
What are the key differences between LPC11U34FHN33/421 and LPC11U34FHN33/311?
The LPC11U34FHN33/421 has 48 kB flash and 10 kB total SRAM (8 kB + 2 kB USB), whereas the LPC11U34FHN33/311 has 40 kB flash and only 8 kB SRAM. Both share identical HVQFN33 packaging, peripheral sets, and USB capabilities - the /421 variant supports larger firmware images and USB buffer-intensive applications.
Can the LPC11U34FHN33/421 operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the LPC11U34FHN33/421 operates from a single 3.3 V supply within the 1.8 V to 3.6 V range. It includes integrated brownout detection with four programmable thresholds and Power-On Reset (POR), enabling robust operation in battery-powered or unregulated USB VBUS-derived supply environments.
