Overview
LPC1768FBD100K from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller operating at up to 100 MHz, featuring 512 kB flash, 64 kB SRAM, Ethernet MAC, USB 2.0 Host/Device/OTG, dual CAN 2.0B controllers, and 70 GPIO pins in LQFP100 package - deployed in industrial networking gateways requiring real-time protocol bridging and fieldbus interface.
For engineers reviewing the LPC1768FBD100K datasheet, LPC1768FBD100K pinout, LPC1768FBD100K application, or LPC1768FBD100K equivalent, key selection criteria include Ethernet + USB + dual CAN coexistence, 100 MHz deterministic execution, 12-bit ADC with DMA support, motor control PWM capability, and pin compatibility with legacy LPC236x Arm7 designs.
Technical Context
The LPC1768FBD100K implements a Harvard-architecture Cortex-M3 core with 3-stage pipeline, integrated MPU supporting eight memory regions, and NVIC for low-latency interrupt handling. Its multilayer AHB matrix enables concurrent CPU, Ethernet MAC, USB, and GPDMA access without arbitration delay.
Peripheral integration includes dedicated DMA channels for Ethernet, USB, SSP, I2S, UART, ADC, and DAC; split APB bus architecture minimizes CPU-DMA contention; and pin-muxing via Pin Connect Block allows dynamic assignment of up to 70 GPIOs to multiple peripheral functions including RMII, USB D+/D−, CAN H/L, and I2S clock/data lines.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LPC1768FBD100K?
The LPC1768FBD100K operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 100 MHz. This is achieved using the on-chip PLL, which can be driven by the main oscillator (1–25 MHz), internal 4 MHz RC oscillator, or RTC oscillator. The flash accelerator enables zero-wait-state execution at this speed, ensuring deterministic real-time performance for industrial control tasks.
Does the LPC1768FBD100K support Ethernet and USB simultaneously?
Yes, the LPC1768FBD100K integrates both an Ethernet MAC with RMII interface and a USB 2.0 full-speed Device/Host/OTG controller with on-chip PHY. These operate independently with dedicated DMA channels, allowing concurrent Ethernet packet forwarding and USB-based firmware updates or HID device emulation without resource conflict.
How many CAN interfaces does the LPC1768FBD100K include?
The LPC1768FBD100K includes two CAN 2.0B controllers. Both support standard and extended frame formats, programmable bit timing, and message filtering. They are fully functional in the LQFP100 package and share no pins with Ethernet or USB - enabling true dual-CAN gateway operation in automotive or industrial networks.
Is the LPC1768FBD100K pin-compatible with earlier NXP microcontrollers?
Yes, the LPC1768FBD100K is pin-compatible with the 100-pin LPC236x Arm7-based microcontroller series. This allows direct PCB replacement in existing designs, preserving layout, power delivery, and signal routing while upgrading to Cortex-M3 performance, enhanced debug features, and expanded peripheral sets including Ethernet and USB OTG.
What package type is used for the LPC1768FBD100K?
The LPC1768FBD100K uses the LQFP100 (SOT407-1) package: a plastic low-profile quad flat package with 100 leads and body dimensions of 14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm. This package supports standard reflow soldering, offers robust thermal performance for industrial ambient temperatures, and provides full access to all 70 GPIOs and peripheral signals documented in the NXP LPC1769_68_67_66_65_64_63 datasheet Rev. 9.10.
