Product details
Overview
LPC47N217-JV from Microchip Technology is a 3.3 V, RoHS-compliant Super I/O controller implementing the LPC bus interface (19.2–33 MHz), featuring a 16C550A-compatible UART with 16-byte FIFO, IEEE 1284 EPP/ECP parallel port with ChiProtect™, IrDA v1.2 infrared controller, 14 GPIOs, and ACPI 2.0 compliance - deployed in legacy PC and embedded x86 platform management.
For engineers reviewing the LPC47N217-JV datasheet, LPC47N217-JV pinout, LPC47N217-JV application, or LPC47N217-JV equivalent, key selection considerations include LPC bus timing compatibility, serial/parallel/IrDA peripheral integration, software-configurable logic (SCL) for runtime reconfiguration, and 64-pin STQFP package constraints in space-constrained motherboard designs.
Technical Context
The LPC47N217-JV integrates an LPC host interface with multiplexed command/address/data lines, 8-bit I/O and DMA transfers, and 16-bit address qualification - enabling ISA/X-bus functional replacement with 64-pin footprint reduction. It supports Serial IRQ and PCI CLKRUN# for power-aware system coordination.
Its dual-serial architecture includes one full-function 16C550A UART (230/460 kbps, programmable baud generator) and a dedicated infrared UART supporting IrDA v1.2 (4 Mbps), HPSIR, ASKIR, and Consumer IR protocols - both sharing configurable I/O address spaces (96/192 base) and 15 IRQ/3 DMA options.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| LPC Bus Frequency | 19.2–33 MHz - defines maximum host-to-peripheral throughput and timing margin for legacy chipset coexistence. |
| UART FIFO Depth | 16-byte send/receive - reduces CPU interrupt load and enables reliable high-speed serial communication at 460 kbps. |
| Parallel Port Modes | IBM PC/AT, EPP 1.7/1.9, ECP - ensures backward compatibility and IEEE 1284 compliance for printer and scanner interfacing. |
| IrDA Speed | 4 Mbps (Fast IR) - enables high-bandwidth bidirectional data exchange with PDAs and mobile devices using infrared. |
| GPIO Count | 14 general-purpose I/O pins - provides flexible board-level control, status monitoring, and hardware customization without external logic. |
| Power Supply | 3.3 V operation with 5 V tolerant I/O - simplifies level-shifting design and supports mixed-voltage legacy peripheral attachment. |
| ACPI Compliance | ACPI 2.0 - enables OS-directed power management including SMI, PME#, and wake-event signaling for sleep/resume states. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 64-pin STQFP (7 mm × 7 mm × 1.4 mm body, 0.4 mm pitch), RoHS compliant, with 0.6 mm nominal lead foot length and 0.18 mm nominal lead width.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LAD0–LAD3 | LPC Bus Data/Address | Multiplexed 4-bit bidirectional bus carrying command, address, and data - requires external latch or timing control for proper sampling. |
| LFRAME# | LPC Frame Strobe | Indicates start of LPC transaction cycle; synchronizes host-initiated I/O, DMA, or firmware memory access. |
| LDRQ# | LPC DMA Request | Asserted by LPC47N217-JV to request DMA channel arbitration from host chipset - essential for burst parallel port transfers. |
| IO_PME# | Power Management Event | Open-drain output signaling wake events (e.g., keyboard/mouse activity) to host chipset during S3/S4 sleep states. |
| IO_SMI# | System Management Interrupt | Triggers SMM handler execution for secure firmware services like password protection or hardware configuration lock. |
| TXD1/RXD1 | UART Channel 1 I/O | Asynchronous serial transmit/receive pair for primary COM port - compatible with standard 16C550A register mapping. |
| IRTX2/IRRX2 | Infrared Transmit/Receive | Dedicated IrDA PHY interface supporting 4 Mbps Fast IR modulation - isolated from main UART to prevent protocol interference. |
| PD0–PD7 | Parallel Port Data | 8-bit bidirectional data bus for EPP/ECP mode - supports handshaking via BUSY, nACK, SLCT, and nERROR signals. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ChiProtect™ Circuitry | Prevents latch-up or damage when powered printer is connected while LPC47N217-JV is unpowered - eliminates need for external isolation diodes. |
| Software Configurable Logic (SCL) | Enables runtime reassignment of I/O addresses, IRQs, and DMA channels via internal configuration registers - simplifies BIOS/firmware adaptation across platforms. |
| XNOR Chain Logic | Supports hardware-based logical combination of multiple GPIO inputs for custom interrupt generation - reduces firmware polling overhead. |
| PCI CLKRUN# Support | Allows host chipset to gate LPC47N217-JV clock during idle periods - directly contributes to platform-level dynamic power savings in mobile/embedded systems. |
| Serial IRQ Interface | Encodes up to 16 IRQ sources onto single SER_IRQ line using serialized packet format - conserves motherboard routing layers versus discrete IRQ lines. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Super I/O controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winbond W83627DHG-P | 32-pin QFN package; lacks IrDA PHY; supports only 115.2 kbps UART max; no ChiProtect™ | Targeted at compact fanless systems where infrared is unused and printer hot-plug risk is mitigated externally | Select when board space is constrained and IrDA/ChiProtect™ are not required - verify LPC timing compatibility at 33 MHz. |
| Nuvoton NCT6776D | 64-pin QFP; adds hardware watchdog timer and voltage monitoring; supports LPC 4.0; 16C550A UART only (no dedicated IrDA) | Suitable for modern embedded PCs needing health monitoring and higher LPC bandwidth, but requires separate IR transceiver | Choose when system-level reliability features (watchdog, rail sensing) outweigh integrated infrared - confirm GPIO mapping alignment with LPC47N217-JV. |
Compared with Winbond W83627DHG-P and Nuvoton NCT6776D, the LPC47N217-JV uniquely combines IrDA v1.2 PHY, ChiProtect™, and XNOR chain logic in a single 64-pin STQFP - making it the only option for legacy x86 designs requiring certified hot-plug-safe parallel printing and 4 Mbps infrared without external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported baud rate for the primary UART in LPC47N217-JV?
The LPC47N217-JV primary UART supports up to 460 kbps, enabled by its high-speed 16C550A-compatible design and programmable baud rate generator. This capability is confirmed in the official Microchip datasheet DS00001810A, and applies specifically to the TXD1/RXD1 interface. The LPC47N217-JV achieves this rate using internal clock division without requiring external crystal tuning.
Does LPC47N217-JV support hot-plug safe parallel port operation?
Yes, the LPC47N217-JV incorporates ChiProtect™ circuitry that prevents damage when a powered printer is attached while the LPC47N217-JV is unpowered or in reset. This feature is explicitly documented in the datasheet and is implemented in silicon - eliminating reliance on external protection components. ChiProtect™ is active on the PD0–PD7, BUSY, and nACK signal paths within the LPC47N217-JV.
Is LPC47N217-JV pin-compatible with other Microchip Super I/O devices?
No, the LPC47N217-JV is not pin-compatible with other Microchip Super I/O parts such as the LPC47B272 or LPC47M102. Its 64-pin STQFP footprint, LAD0–LAD3 multiplexed bus, and dedicated IRTX2/IRRX2 pins define a unique pinout. Board-level replacement requires schematic and layout revision - the LPC47N217-JV must be treated as a standalone package and signal mapping entity.
What infrared protocols does the LPC47N217-JV support natively?
The LPC47N217-JV supports IrDA v1.2 (4 Mbps Fast IR), HPSIR, ASKIR, and Consumer IR protocols through its dedicated infrared UART interface (IRTX2/IRRX2). These are implemented in hardware and do not require firmware emulation. The datasheet confirms native support for all four formats, with separate configuration registers for mode selection and timing calibration within the LPC47N217-JV.
Can LPC47N217-JV operate with a 5 V supply?
No, the LPC47N217-JV operates exclusively at 3.3 V (Vcc), as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and DC Characteristics sections of DS00001810A. However, its I/O pins are 5 V tolerant - meaning it can safely interface with 5 V peripherals without level shifters. Applying 5 V to Vcc will permanently damage the LPC47N217-JV.
