FAQ

What is the maximum CPU frequency supported by the LPC54606J512ET100E?

The LPC54606J512ET100E operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 180 MHz, enabled by its ARM Cortex-M4 core and System PLL. This frequency is sustained across the full industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +105 °C) and 1.71–3.6 V supply voltage. The LPC54606J512ET100E does not support the 220 MHz mode found in the LPC54628 variant.

Does the LPC54606J512ET100E include CAN FD capability?

No, the LPC54606J512ET100E integrates two CAN 2.0 controllers but does not support CAN FD. CAN FD functionality is exclusive to higher-tier variants like the LPC54628 and LPC54618. The LPC54606J512ET100E maintains full backward compatibility with legacy CAN 2.0 networks at up to 1 Mbps.

Which package type is used for the LPC54606J512ET100E?

The LPC54606J512ET100E uses the TFBGA100 package: a 10 × 10 array of solder balls, 9 mm × 9 mm × 0.7 mm body size, 0.65 mm pitch, and exposed thermal pad. This package is distinct from LQFP100 (SOT407-1) and TFBGA180 (SOT570-3) variants in the same family.

What USB capabilities does the LPC54606J512ET100E provide?

The LPC54606J512ET100E integrates both high-speed (480 Mbps) and full-speed (12 Mbps) USB 2.0 host/device controllers with on-chip PHYs - eliminating the need for external transceivers. It supports HID, CDC, MSC, and DFU classes via ROM-based drivers, enabling plug-and-play firmware updates and device enumeration.

Is Ethernet AVB supported on the LPC54606J512ET100E?

Yes, the LPC54606J512ET100E includes an Ethernet MAC with MII/RMII interface and full Audio Video Bridging (AVB) support, including IEEE 802.1AS timing synchronization and 802.1Qav traffic shaping. This enables time-sensitive networking in industrial control and professional audio applications.
