Product details
Overview
LPC11U37FBD64/501 from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller in LQFP64 package, operating at up to 50 MHz CPU frequency, featuring 32 kB flash, 6 kB SRAM (4 kB main + 2 kB USB), full-speed USB 2.0 device controller, 10-bit ADC with 8 channels, and up to 40 GPIO pins - deployed in industrial control systems requiring embedded USB connectivity and low-power operation.
For engineers reviewing the LPC11U37FBD64/501 datasheet, LPC11U37FBD64/501 pinout, LPC11U37FBD64/501 application, or LPC11U37FBD64/501 equivalent, key selection criteria include USB device stack readiness, fractional-baud USART for RS-485/ISO 7816 smart card support, dual SSP interfaces for SPI/SSI/Microwire, I²C Fast-mode Plus (1 Mbit/s), and wake-up capability from Deep power-down mode via dedicated WAKEUP pin.
Technical Context
The LPC11U37FBD64/501 implements a single-core ARM Cortex-M0 processor with NVIC and NMI support, paired with two independent PLLs - one for system clock (up to 50 MHz) and a dedicated USB PLL - enabling simultaneous high-performance CPU execution and glitch-free USB signaling. Its memory subsystem integrates boot ROM with ISP/IAP firmware, 32 kB flash with sector erase, and segregated SRAM banks optimized for general use and USB packet buffering.
Digital peripheral routing is managed through programmable IOCON registers per pin, supporting configurable pull-up/down, repeater mode, open-drain, and glitch filtering on eight GPIOs. The USB interface operates in full-speed mode only (12 Mbps), with hardware-assisted SoftConnect via USB_CONNECT pin and VBUS sensing on PIO0_3 - no USB host or OTG functionality is present.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | ARM Cortex-M0, 32-bit RISC, supports Thumb-2 instruction set and NVIC interrupt handling. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 50 MHz - achieved via PLL using internal 12 MHz IRC or external crystal (1–25 MHz). |
| Flash Memory | 32 kB - supports in-system programming (ISP) and in-application programming (IAP) via boot ROM routines. |
| SRAM | 6 kB total: 4 kB main RAM + 2 kB dedicated USB RAM - enables double-buffered USB endpoint operation. |
| USB Interface | Full-speed USB 2.0 device controller - no host/OTG; includes hardware SoftConnect, VBUS detection, and 1 ms SOF toggle output. |
| ADC | 10-bit SAR ADC with 8 input channels (AD0–AD7) - supports single-ended sampling, no differential mode or hardware averaging. |
| I²C Bus | Fast-mode Plus compliant (1 Mbit/s) - supports multiple address recognition and monitor mode; SCL/SDA pins are true open-drain with high-current sink when enabled. |
| GPIO Pins | Up to 40 programmable I/O pins - eight support digital glitch filtering; P0_7 provides 20 mA high-current source; P0_4/P0_5 provide 20 mA high-current sink in open-drain mode. |
Pinout & Package
Package: LQFP64 (plastic low-profile quad flat package; 64 leads; body 10 × 10 × 1.4 mm; standard JEDEC MO-137AC).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RESET/PIO0_0 | Reset input / GPIO port 0 pin 0 | Active-low reset with 20 ns glitch filter; also debug select input (LOW = JTAG, HIGH = SWD); must be pulled HIGH externally in Deep power-down mode. |
| USB_DP / USB_DM | USB differential data pair | Full-speed USB 2.0 D+ and D− lines; not 5 V tolerant; require 1.5 kΩ pull-up on DP for device enumeration. |
| PIO0_3/USB_VBUS | USB bus voltage monitor | Dedicated input to detect presence of 5 V USB power; used by firmware to enable/disable USB transceiver and enter suspend/resume states. |
| PIO0_6/USB_CONNECT | Software-controlled USB connect | Drives external 1.5 kΩ pull-up resistor under firmware control - enables SoftConnect for dynamic USB attachment without hardware switch. |
| PIO0_16/AD5/CT32B1_MAT3/WAKEUP | Wake-up trigger / ADC input / timer match / GPIO | Dedicated Deep power-down wake-up pin with 50 ns pulse sensitivity; also serves as ADC channel 5 and 32-bit timer 1 match output 3. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual PLL architecture | Separate system PLL (for CPU/bus) and USB PLL (for 48 MHz USB clock) eliminate timing conflicts between core performance and USB compliance. |
| USB SoftConnect | Software-controllable USB connection via PIO0_6 eliminates need for external mechanical switch or MOSFET, simplifying board layout and enabling firmware-driven USB attach/detach. |
| Power management unit (PMU) | Four low-power modes (Sleep, Deep-sleep, Power-down, Deep power-down) with selective wake-up sources including GPIO, USB activity, watchdog, and dedicated WAKEUP pin. |
| ROM-based integer division | 32-bit signed/unsigned integer division routines in boot ROM reduce code footprint and avoid runtime library dependencies in resource-constrained firmware. |
| Smart card interface support | USART configured in asynchronous ISO 7816-3 mode enables direct connection to contact-based smart cards without external level-shifting or protocol translation ICs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LPC11U68JBD100 | 100-pin LQFP, 128 kB flash, 36 kB SRAM, USB HS capable, additional peripherals (CAN, Ethernet MAC), higher power consumption. | Targeted at complex USB host/device hybrids and networked edge nodes - not drop-in compatible due to pin count, voltage, and peripheral mismatch. | Select only if scaling beyond 32 kB flash or requiring CAN/Ethernet; requires PCB redesign and firmware adaptation. |
| LPC824M201JHI33 | 33-pin HVQFN, ARM Cortex-M0+, 16 kB flash, 4 kB SRAM, no USB device controller, lower cost, smaller footprint. | Suitable for non-USB embedded control where size/cost dominate - lacks USB PHY, VBUS sense, and SoftConnect capability entirely. | Choose when USB is unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is critical; incompatible for any USB-dependent design. |
Compared with LPC11U68JBD100 and LPC824M201JHI33, the LPC11U37FBD64/501 uniquely balances USB device functionality, 32 kB flash headroom, and LQFP64 routability - making it optimal for mid-complexity USB peripherals where full-speed device operation, RS-485 support, and smart card compatibility are mandatory.

FAQ
Does the LPC11U37FBD64/501 support USB host mode or OTG functionality?
No, the LPC11U37FBD64/501 implements only a full-speed USB 2.0 device controller. It lacks USB host controller logic, VBUS powering capability, and ID pin detection required for OTG operation. All USB communication must originate from a host system, and the LPC11U37FBD64/501 responds as a peripheral device only.
What is the maximum number of GPIO pins available on the LPC11U37FBD64/501 in LQFP64 package?
The LPC11U37FBD64/501 provides up to 40 general-purpose I/O pins in the LQFP64 package. Pin assignments are defined in the IOCON register configuration; unused pins may be configured as inputs with pull-up/down or left unconnected (with external termination recommended to minimize leakage current).
Can the LPC11U37FBD64/501 operate without an external crystal oscillator?
Yes, the LPC11U37FBD64/501 can operate using its internal 12 MHz IRC oscillator as the system clock source. The crystal oscillator (1–25 MHz) is optional; if unused, XTALIN should be grounded and XTALOUT left floating to reduce noise susceptibility, as specified in the datasheet.
Is the LPC11U37FBD64/501 pin-compatible with other members of the LPC11Uxx family?
The LPC11U37FBD64/501 shares the same LQFP64 footprint and core peripheral mapping with LPC11U3x variants (e.g., LPC11U35, LPC11U36), but is not pin-compatible with LPC11U1x (LQFP48/HVQFN33) or LPC11U2x (LQFP48) families. Always verify pin function allocation against the specific variant's datasheet before PCB reuse.
Does the LPC11U37FBD64/501 include hardware support for ISO 7816-3 smart card communication?
Yes, the LPC11U37FBD64/501 USART supports asynchronous smart card interface per ISO 7816-3 when configured in appropriate mode with precise baud rate generation and guard time control. This capability is implemented in firmware using the built-in fractional baud rate generator and FIFO - no external protocol controller is required.
