NXP Semiconductors LPC4367JBD208E

Overview

LPC4367JBD208E from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-core ARM Cortex-M4/M0 microcontroller for high-performance embedded control, featuring 1 MB flash, 154 kB SRAM, Ethernet MAC with IEEE 1588 support, dual High-speed USB 2.0 interfaces (one with on-chip HS PHY), LCD controller, and external memory controller - deployed in industrial HMI and secure IoT gateways.

For engineers reviewing the LPC4367JBD208E datasheet, LPC4367JBD208E pinout, LPC4367JBD208E application, or LPC4367JBD208E equivalent, this page delivers verified core architecture details, validated LQFP208 pin mapping, confirmed peripheral integration (SCTimer/PWM, GIMA, SGPIO), and real-world substitution guidance aligned to NXP's official LPC436x family documentation.

Technical Context

The LPC4367JBD208E integrates an ARM Cortex-M4 core (up to 204 MHz) with hardware FPU and MPU, plus two independent ARM Cortex-M0 units: one application coprocessor and one dedicated subsystem managing SPI/SGPIO via a separate AHB matrix. Core-to-core communication occurs through a dedicated bridge with shared memory access.

Its memory subsystem includes dual-bank 512 kB flash per bank, 16 kB EEPROM, and segmented SRAM blocks (including 2 kB + 16 kB in the M0 subsystem), enabling concurrent execution and low-power retention. Peripherals are routed via Global Input Multiplexer Array (GIMA) for flexible event-driven interconnect between timers, ADCs, and SCTimer/PWM.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the LPC4367JBD208E?

The LPC4367JBD208E operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 204 MHz for both its ARM Cortex-M4 and dual ARM Cortex-M0 cores. This performance level is sustained across the full industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +105 °C) and is enabled by three on-chip PLLs that decouple core, USB, and audio clock domains - ensuring stable timing without external high-frequency crystals.

Does the LPC4367JBD208E include an integrated LCD controller?

Yes, the LPC4367JBD208E includes a fully featured LCD controller supporting monochrome and color STN panels as well as TFT displays, with programmable resolution up to 1024 × 768, 16/24-bit direct pixel mapping, and CLUT-based color depth (1/2/4/8 bpp). This capability is confirmed in Table 2 of the official datasheet and applies specifically to the LPC4367JBD208E variant.

How many USB interfaces does the LPC4367JBD208E support, and what are their capabilities?

The LPC4367JBD208E supports two independent High-speed USB 2.0 interfaces: USB0 includes an on-chip high-speed PHY and operates in Host/Device/OTG mode with DMA; USB1 includes an on-chip full-speed PHY and ULPI interface for connection to an external high-speed PHY, supporting Host/Device mode only. Both interfaces are explicitly documented for the LPC4367JBD208E in Section 2 of the datasheet.

What is the purpose of the GIMA (Global Input Multiplexer Array) in the LPC4367JBD208E?

The GIMA in the LPC4367JBD208E is a hardware crossbar that enables direct, software-configurable routing of up to 20 input signals (from timers, ADCs, SCT, GPIOs) to 12+ destination peripherals (including SCTimer/PWM, timers, and ADCs) without CPU involvement. This eliminates interrupt latency and polling overhead, making it essential for deterministic real-time event handling in industrial control and motor drive applications.

Is the LPC4367JBD208E pin-compatible with other members of the LPC436x family?

The LPC4367JBD208E shares the same LQFP208 package and pinout with the LPC4357JBD208, making them pin-compatible replacements where LCD functionality is not required. However, it is not pin-compatible with LBGA256 or TFBGA100 variants (e.g., LPC4367JET256) due to differing package types, ball/lead assignments, and signal allocations - verified against Table 1 and Table 2 in the official datasheet.
