NXP Semiconductors LPC1827JET100E

Overview

LPC1827JET100E from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller targeting industrial embedded control applications. It operates at up to 180 MHz, integrates 1 MB dual-bank flash, 136 kB SRAM, and supports USB 2.0 Host/Device (USB0) with on-chip high-speed PHY - enabling compact, low-power HMI and gateway designs.

For engineers reviewing the LPC1827JET100E datasheet, LPC1827JET100E pinout, LPC1827JET100E application, or LPC1827JET100E equivalent, key selection criteria include TFBGA100 package compatibility, absence of Ethernet/LCD peripherals, USB0-only connectivity, and 4-channel ADC support in extended temperature range (–40 °C to +105 °C).

Technical Context

The LPC1827JET100E implements an ARM Cortex-M3 r2p1 core with Harvard architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and integrated MPU/NVIC for deterministic real-time execution. It includes dedicated hardware blocks: SCTimer/PWM subsystem for flexible waveform generation, GIMA for cross-peripheral event routing, and SPIFI for direct quad-SPI flash execution.

Its clock system uses three PLLs - one for CPU up to 180 MHz, one for USB0, and one configurable as audio PLL - all fed from a 1–25 MHz crystal or 12 MHz ±3% internal RC oscillator. Power management supports four reduced-power modes with RTC domain retention via separate battery supply.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the LPC1827JET100E?

The LPC1827JET100E operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 180 MHz, achieved via its ARM Cortex-M3 core and triple PLL clock system. This frequency is sustained across the full industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +105 °C), as validated in NXP's characterization testing and documented in the LPC185X_3X_2X_1X datasheet Rev. 5.3.

Does the LPC1827JET100E include Ethernet or LCD controller peripherals?

No, the LPC1827JET100E does not include Ethernet MAC or LCD controller hardware. Per Table 2 of the official datasheet, these peripherals are disabled in the LPC182x family variants. The LPC1827JET100E retains USB0, SPIFI, SCTimer/PWM, dual 10-bit ADCs, and 49 GPIOs - making it suitable for non-networked, display-free industrial control applications.

How many ADC channels does the LPC1827JET100E support, and what is their resolution?

The LPC1827JET100E integrates two independent 10-bit ADCs (ADC0 and ADC1), sharing four analog input channels (ADC0_0–ADC0_3 / ADC1_0–ADC1_3). Each ADC achieves a maximum sampling rate of 400 kSamples/s, with hardware synchronization capability - confirmed in Section 2 "Features and benefits" and Table 2 of the LPC185X_3X_2X_1X datasheet.

What USB interfaces are available on the LPC1827JET100E?

The LPC1827JET100E includes only one High-speed USB 2.0 interface: USB0, configured as Host/Device/OTG with an integrated on-chip high-speed PHY. USB1 is omitted - verified in Table 2 ("USB1 (Host, Device)/ULPI interface" = "no") and Section 2's serial interfaces list. This eliminates external PHY components while supporting USB mass storage, CDC, or HID class implementations.

What is the package type and pin count of the LPC1827JET100E?

The LPC1827JET100E uses a TFBGA100 package (SOT926-1): a 100-ball, thin fine-pitch ball grid array with 0.8 mm pitch and 9 mm × 9 mm footprint. This is explicitly stated in Table 1 "Ordering information" and Figure 3 "Pin configuration TFBGA100 package" of the LPC185X_3X_2X_1X datasheet Rev. 5.3.
