Product details
Overview
LPC2157FBD100,551 from NXP Semiconductors is a 100-pin LQFP multi-chip module integrating an ARM7TDMI-S microcontroller (512 kB Flash, 32 kB SRAM) with a PCF8576D 32-segment × 4-backplane LCD controller. It operates at 60 MHz, supports USB 2.0 Full-Speed device mode with 2 kB endpoint RAM, and includes a 10-bit DAC and RTC with independent VBAT supply. It targets embedded instrumentation with integrated display control.
For engineers reviewing the LPC2157FBD100,551 datasheet, LPC2157FBD100,551 pinout, LPC2157FBD100,551 application, or LPC2157FBD100,551 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-role MCU+LCD-driver integration, 32 GPIO pins minimum, 5 V-tolerant I/O architecture, and absence of USB DMA RAM (distinguishing it from LPC2158).
Technical Context
The LPC2157FBD100,551 implements an ARM7TDMI-S core with AMBA AHB/APB bus architecture, featuring a 128-bit wide memory interface enabling 60 MHz operation without wait states. Its on-chip peripherals include two UARTs (16C550-compatible), two Fast I²C-bus interfaces (400 kbit/s), SPI/SSP with variable data length, and dual 10-bit ADCs (8-channel total).
Unlike the LPC2158, the LPC2157FBD100,551 excludes the 8 kB USB-accessible RAM and UP_LED/CONNECT signals. Its LCD controller uses dedicated SDA_LCD/SCL_LCD pins and outputs BP0–BP3 and S0–S31 directly, with on-chip 40×4-bit display RAM and auto-increment addressing to minimize CPU overhead.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | ARM7TDMI-S 32-bit RISC processor running at up to 60 MHz via PLL0; enables deterministic real-time execution for control firmware. |
| Memory | 512 kB on-chip Flash (in-system programmable) + 32 kB static RAM; sufficient for standalone bootloader, RTOS, and application code without external memory. |
| LCD Controller | Integrated PCF8576D supporting 32 segments × 4 backplanes; eliminates need for external LCD driver IC and reduces BOM count in metering displays. |
| Analog Peripherals | Two 10-bit ADCs (AD0: 6 channels; AD1: 8 channels) + one 10-bit DAC (AOUT); enables sensor signal acquisition and analog output generation in same package. |
| USB Interface | USB 2.0 Full-Speed device controller with 2 kB endpoint RAM; supports HID, CDC, and mass storage class implementations without external PHY. |
| Power Supply | Single 3.3 V ±10 % supply (VDD) with 5 V-tolerant I/O; simplifies power design and allows direct interfacing with legacy 5 V logic. |
| RTC | Low-power Real-Time Clock with independent VBAT pin and 32 kHz crystal input (RTCX1/RTCX2); maintains time during main power loss for data logging applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: LQFP100 (plastic low-profile quad flat package; 100 leads; body 14 × 14 × 1.4 mm; SOT407-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (pins 11, 27, 33) | Main power supply | 3.3 V core/I/O supply; requires local decoupling per pin to ensure stable operation at 60 MHz. |
| VDDA (pin 96) | Analog power supply | Isolated 3.3 V supply for ADC/DAC; must be filtered separately from digital VDD to maintain 10-bit accuracy. |
| VSS (pins 6, 13, 32, 39, 40, 85, 95) | Ground reference | Multiple ground connections reduce impedance and suppress noise coupling into analog and digital domains. |
| AOUT (pin 97) | Analog output | Dedicated 10-bit DAC output; digital section disabled when configured as AOUT to prevent interference. |
| S0–S31 (pins 46–77) | LCD segment drivers | 32 dedicated outputs driving LCD segments; used with BP0–BP3 to form multiplexed display matrix. |
| BP0–BP3 (pins 42–45) | LCD backplane drivers | 4 backplane outputs enabling up to 4-layer LCD multiplexing; paired with S0–S31 for full 128-segment support. |
| SDA_LCD / SCL_LCD (pins 34, 35) | LCD I²C interface | Dedicated I²C bus for PCF8576D configuration; electrically isolated from main I²C0/I²C1 to avoid contention. |
| RESET (pin 83) | Asynchronous reset input | Active-low TTL-level input with hysteresis; forces hardware reset and bootloader entry if held low during power-up. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated LCD controller | Eliminates external driver IC and reduces PCB area by ~25 mm² in portable instrument designs. |
| 5 V-tolerant I/O with glitch filtering | Enables direct connection to 5 V sensors and logic without level shifters; built-in 3 ns pulse rejection prevents false interrupts. |
| On-chip display RAM (40×4 bits) | Reduces CPU load by >70 % during LCD refresh cycles via auto-increment addressing and burst access. |
| Dual 10-bit ADC subsystems | Supports simultaneous sampling of voltage, current, and temperature in energy metering applications with <1 LSB INL. |
| USB 2.0 Full-Speed device stack | Allows firmware updates and data export over standard USB cables without requiring host-side drivers beyond Windows HID class. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller-with-LCD-driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LPC2158FBD100 | Includes 8 kB USB-accessible RAM and UP_LED/CONNECT pins; identical MCU core, Flash, RAM, and LCD controller. | Required for USB device firmware requiring large endpoint buffers or SoftConnect functionality. | Select LPC2158FBD100 only if USB DMA RAM or hardware-controlled USB connect/disconnect is needed. |
| RA4M2-ECB | Arm Cortex-M23 core, 256 kB Flash, 64 kB SRAM, no integrated LCD controller; supports external segment drivers via GPIO or SPI. | Targets modern low-power IoT devices needing secure boot and higher performance, but requires external LCD driver. | Choose RA4M2-ECB for new designs prioritizing security, lower active power, and future scalability over LCD integration. |
Compared with LPC2158FBD100, the LPC2157FBD100,551 saves cost and layout space where USB DMA is unnecessary; versus RA4M2-ECB, it delivers immediate LCD integration but lacks TrustZone and advanced power modes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LPC2157FBD100,551?
The LPC2157FBD100,551 operates at up to 60 MHz using its on-chip PLL0. This frequency is achieved via a 128-bit wide memory interface that eliminates wait states, enabling deterministic real-time execution critical for control loops and metrology algorithms in the LPC2157FBD100,551.
Does the LPC2157FBD100,551 support USB device functionality?
Yes, the LPC2157FBD100,551 integrates a USB 2.0 Full-Speed device controller with 2 kB of dedicated endpoint RAM. It supports standard USB classes including HID and CDC, and requires no external PHY. The LPC2157FBD100,551 does not include the 8 kB USB DMA RAM found in the LPC2158 variant.
How many analog inputs does the LPC2157FBD100,551 provide?
The LPC2157FBD100,551 features two independent 10-bit ADC subsystems: ADC0 with six channels (AD0[0]–AD0[5]) and ADC1 with eight channels (AD1[0]–AD1[7]), totaling 14 analog inputs. Pins like P0[25] and P0[26] serve dual roles - for example, P0[25] functions as both GPIO and AOUT (DAC output).
What LCD configurations does the integrated PCF8576D support?
The PCF8576D in the LPC2157FBD100,551 supports 1 to 4 backplanes with up to 32 segments, enabling display formats from simple 7-segment digits to 128-segment alphanumeric modules. It includes 40×4-bit display RAM with auto-increment addressing, reducing CPU intervention during refresh cycles in the LPC2157FBD100,551.
Is the LPC2157FBD100,551 pin-compatible with the LPC2158FBD100?
Yes, the LPC2157FBD100,551 and LPC2158FBD100 share identical pinout and package (LQFP100). However, functional differences exist: LPC2157FBD100,551 lacks the 8 kB USB-accessible RAM and UP_LED/CONNECT pins present in LPC2158FBD100. These pins are no-connect in LPC2157FBD100,551.
