NXP Semiconductors LPC4076FET180,551

Overview

LPC4076FET180 from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller designed for high-integration embedded control applications, operating at up to 120 MHz with 256 kB flash, 80 kB SRAM, and hardware floating-point unit (FPU) support. It integrates dual CAN controllers, five UARTs, Ethernet MAC, USB Device/Host/OTG, and 165 GPIO pins - deployed in industrial motor drives, PLCs, and networked HVAC controllers.

For engineers reviewing the LPC4076FET180 datasheet, LPC4076FET180 pinout, LPC4076FET180 application, or LPC4076FET180 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for migration or second-sourcing decisions.

Technical Context

The LPC4076FET180 implements an ARM Cortex-M4 core with Harvard architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and integrated MPU supporting eight memory regions. Its system-level interconnect uses a multilayer AHB matrix with separate buses for CPU and GPDMA, eliminating arbitration delays between concurrent masters.

Analog subsystem includes an 8-channel 12-bit ADC (400 kHz max sample rate), 10-bit DAC with dedicated timer, and two analog comparators. Power management supports four reduced-power modes - Sleep, Deep-sleep, Power-down, and Deep power-down - with RTC wake-up and brownout detection.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the LPC4076FET180?

The LPC4076FET180 operates at up to 120 MHz using its ARM Cortex-M4 core. This frequency is achieved via the on-chip PLL, which can be driven by either the external 1–25 MHz crystal oscillator or the internal 12 MHz RC oscillator. The LPC4076FET180 maintains full peripheral functionality-including Ethernet, USB, and CAN-at this maximum clock rate under specified voltage (2.4–3.6 V) and temperature (−40 °C to +85 °C) conditions.

Does the LPC4076FET180 include a hardware floating-point unit (FPU)?

Yes, the LPC4076FET180 integrates a single-precision IEEE 754-compliant hardware floating-point unit (FPU) as part of its ARM Cortex-M4 core. This FPU accelerates math-intensive operations such as trigonometric functions, matrix calculations, and digital signal processing - essential for motor control algorithms and sensor fusion. The LPC4076FET180's FPU is identical in capability to that found in other LPC408x/7x family members.

How many CAN interfaces does the LPC4076FET180 support?

The LPC4076FET180 supports two independent CAN 2.0B controllers (CAN0 and CAN1), each with full message object RAM, acceptance filtering, and loopback/self-test modes. These controllers operate concurrently and are accessible via dedicated pins (P0[0]/P0[1] for CAN1, P0[10]/P0[11] for CAN2). Both CAN modules are fully functional in the TFBGA180 package and require no external transceivers beyond standard ISO 11898-compliant PHYs.

What is the pin count and package type of the LPC4076FET180?

The LPC4076FET180 uses a TFBGA180 package (SOT570-3) with 180 solder balls arranged in a 15 × 15 mm grid at 0.65 mm pitch. It provides 165 usable general-purpose I/O pins, all 5 V tolerant except when configured as analog inputs. This package is pin-compatible with other LPC407x/8x TFBGA180 variants, enabling design reuse across memory/peripheral configurations.

Does the LPC4076FET180 support USB Device, Host, and OTG modes simultaneously?

Yes, the LPC4076FET180 integrates a single USB 2.0 full-speed controller capable of Device, Host, and OTG operation - selectable at runtime via software configuration. It includes an on-chip PHY, dedicated DMA channel, and endpoint buffers sufficient for CDC, HID, and mass storage class implementations. The LPC4076FET180's USB controller shares no hardware resource conflicts with its dual CAN or Ethernet peripherals.
