Product details
Overview
LPC2136FBD64/01 from NXP Semiconductors is a 16/32-bit ARM7TDMI-S microcontroller in LQFP64 package, featuring 256 kB flash, 32 kB SRAM, dual 10-bit 8-channel ADCs (16 total inputs), single 10-bit DAC, and 47 GPIO with nine external interrupt pins - deployed in industrial control systems requiring real-time analog acquisition and PWM-driven actuation.
For engineers reviewing the LPC2136FBD64/01 datasheet, LPC2136FBD64/01 pinout, LPC2136FBD64/01 application, or LPC2136FBD64/01 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed peripheral timing specs, and real-world use-case mappings for embedded firmware development, hardware layout, and component substitution decisions.
Technical Context
The LPC2136FBD64/01 implements an ARM7TDMI-S core with Thumb instruction set support, enabling 32-bit performance at up to 60 MHz via on-chip PLL (100 µs settling time) while achieving >30 % code size reduction in Thumb mode. Its memory subsystem uses a 128-bit wide interface and accelerator architecture to sustain full-speed execution from flash.
Peripheral integration includes two UARTs with fractional baud rate generators and hardware handshake, dual Fast I²C-bus interfaces (400 kbit/s), SPI/SSP with variable data length, two 32-bit timers (four capture/compare channels each), six PWM outputs, and a low-power RTC with independent 32 kHz clock input and dedicated VBAT supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | ARM7TDMI-S 16/32-bit RISC processor with Thumb mode and EmbeddedICE RT/ETM trace support. |
| Max Clock Speed | 60 MHz via programmable on-chip PLL; 100 µs lock time enables rapid frequency transitions. |
| Memory | 256 kB on-chip flash (100,000 erase/write cycles, 20-year retention); 32 kB on-chip SRAM accessible as 8/16/32-bit. |
| Analog Peripherals | Dual 10-bit 8-channel ADCs (AD0/AD1), 16 total analog inputs, 2.44 µs conversion time per channel; single 10-bit DAC (AOUT). |
| Digital I/O & Interrupts | 47 GPIO pins (5 V tolerant), up to nine edge/level-sensitive external interrupt sources (EINT0–EINT3, plus P1.25/EXTIN0). |
| Serial Interfaces | Two UARTs (16C550 compatible, fractional baud + auto-baud), two Fast I²C (400 kbit/s), SPI, SSP, and JTAG debug interface. |
| Power Supply | Single 3.0–3.6 V supply (3.3 V ±10 %); separate VDDA/VSSA/VREF for analog section; VBAT for RTC backup. |
Pinout & Package
Package: LQFP64 (plastic low profile quad flat package; 64 leads; body 10 × 10 × 1.4 mm; SOT314-2). All pins are 5 V tolerant with TTL levels, hysteresis, and 10 ns slew rate control unless specified otherwise (e.g., open-drain I²C pins require external pull-ups).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P0.0/TXD0/PWM1 | UART0 transmit / PWM output | Primary serial TX for bootloader or host communication; configurable as PWM1 for motor/servo control. |
| P0.27/AD0.0/CAP0.1/MAT0.1 | ADC0 channel 0 / Timer0 capture/match | Analog input tied directly to pin; simultaneous use as timer capture or match output requires functional multiplexing via PINSEL registers. |
| P0.25/AD0.4/AOUT | ADC0 channel 4 / DAC output | Shared pin: digital I/O disabled when AOUT active; used for analog waveform generation or reference voltage sourcing. |
| P1.27/TDO | JTAG test data output | Required for boundary-scan testing and real-time debugging; driven by on-chip debug logic during JTAG session. |
| VREF | ADC/DAC reference voltage input | Must be decoupled and isolated from digital noise; sets full-scale range for both 10-bit converters (0–VREF). |
| RESET | Active-low asynchronous reset | TTL-compatible with hysteresis; asserts internal reset state, initializes peripherals, and forces vector fetch from address 0x00000000. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast GPIO | Port pin toggle speed up to 3.5× faster than base LPC213x; enables high-frequency bit-banging (e.g., software I²C or LED PWM). |
| Dedicated ADC result registers | Reduces interrupt latency by eliminating register read-modify-write cycles during ADC conversion completion handling. |
| Fractional baud rate UARTs | Supports precise non-integer baud rates (e.g., 115200, 921600) across wide crystal frequencies without external dividers. |
| Enhanced BOD control | Configurable brown-out detection thresholds allow fine-grained power optimization in battery-powered applications. |
| Real-time clock with VBAT | Independent 32 kHz RTC oscillator continues counting during main power-down, enabling wake-up and timestamping without host CPU intervention. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LPC2136FBD64/01?
The LPC2136FBD64/01 supports a maximum CPU clock frequency of 60 MHz, achieved via its on-chip PLL with 100 µs settling time. This allows deterministic real-time execution of time-critical tasks such as motor control loops or ADC-triggered PWM updates. The 128-bit memory interface ensures no wait states at full speed when executing from flash.
Does the LPC2136FBD64/01 include a DAC, and how is it accessed?
Yes, the LPC2136FBD64/01 integrates a single 10-bit DAC accessible via the AOUT function on pin P0.25. When enabled, the digital I/O functionality of that pin is disabled. The DAC output range is 0–VREF, and it supports continuous waveform generation or static reference voltage sourcing - commonly used for sensor calibration or analog actuator control.
How many analog inputs does the LPC2136FBD64/01 support, and what is their resolution?
The LPC2136FBD64/01 supports 16 analog inputs: eight channels on ADC0 (AD0.0–AD0.7) and eight on ADC1 (AD1.0–AD1.7). Both ADCs are 10-bit successive approximation converters with a minimum conversion time of 2.44 µs per channel. Input channels AD1.0–AD1.7 are only available on LPC2134/36/38 variants, confirming full 16-channel capability for this part.
Is the LPC2136FBD64/01 pin-compatible with other members of the LPC213x family?
Yes, the LPC2136FBD64/01 in LQFP64 package shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with LPC2131FBD64/01, LPC2132FBD64/01, LPC2134FBD64/01, and LPC2138FBD64/01. This enables drop-in replacement across flash/RAM configurations - for example, upgrading from 64 kB to 256 kB flash without PCB modification.
What debug interfaces are supported by the LPC2136FBD64/01?
The LPC2136FBD64/01 supports JTAG (TRST, TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) and EmbeddedICE RT for real-time debugging, plus Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM) for instruction-level tracing. Trace signals (TRACEPKT0–3, TRACESYNC, TRACECLK) are routed to Port 1 pins and enable high-speed program flow analysis when used with compatible debug probes.
