Product details
Overview
LPC54616J256ET180 from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller with FPU and MPU, operating at up to 180 MHz, featuring 256 KB flash, 136 KB SRAM, dual USB (HS/FS), Ethernet AVB, two CAN FD controllers, and 145 GPIOs in a TFBGA180 package. It targets industrial control, automotive networking gateways, and IoT edge nodes requiring real-time communication and low-power operation.
For engineers reviewing the LPC54616J256ET180 datasheet, LPC54616J256ET180 pinout, LPC54616J256ET180 application, or LPC54616J256ET180 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 180 MHz CPU frequency, CAN FD + Ethernet AVB coexistence, absence of LCD controller, TFBGA180 thermal/mechanical profile, and Flexcomm-peripheral reconfigurability across USART/SPI/I2C/I2S.
Technical Context
The LPC54616J256ET180 implements an ARM Cortex-M4 core (r0p1) with hardware FPU, MPU, and NVIC, executing at up to 180 MHz using a 3-stage Harvard pipeline with speculative branching and prefetch unit. Its memory subsystem includes 256 KB on-chip flash (256-byte page erase), 136 KB SRAM (128 KB main + 8 KB USB-dedicated), and 16 KB EEPROM.
Peripheral integration centers on ten Flexcomm interfaces-software-configurable as USART, SPI, I2C, or I2S-with two supporting I2S; dual CAN FD modules with dedicated DMA; Ethernet MAC with MII/RMII and AVB support; and a 12-bit 5.0 MS/s ADC with 12 channels and dual conversion sequences. The device omits LCD controller and SHA engine, distinguishing it from higher-tier LPC546xx variants.

FAQ
What is the maximum CPU frequency supported by the LPC54616J256ET180?
The LPC54616J256ET180 operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 180 MHz. This is confirmed in Table 2 (Ordering Options) of the datasheet, which explicitly lists "180 MHz" for all LPC54616 devices including LPC54616J256ET180. It does not support the 220 MHz frequency found in the LPC54628 variant.
Does the LPC54616J256ET180 include an LCD controller?
No, the LPC54616J256ET180 does not include an LCD controller. Table 2 (Ordering Options) clearly indicates "no" under the LCD column for all LPC54616 devices, distinguishing them from LPC54618/LPC54628 variants. This omission reduces die size and cost for applications that do not require display output.
What is the flash and SRAM capacity of the LPC54616J256ET180?
The LPC54616J256ET180 integrates 256 KB of on-chip flash memory and 136 KB of total SRAM. Per Table 2, the SRAM comprises 128 KB of contiguous main SRAM plus 8 KB dedicated to USB traffic - matching the memory configuration specified for all LPC54616J256 variants.
Which packages are available for the LPC54616J256ET180?
The LPC54616J256ET180 is exclusively offered in the TFBGA180 package (SOT570-3), as confirmed in Table 1 (Ordering Information). Unlike other LPC54616 variants (e.g., J512BD208), this specific part number has no LQFP or TFBGA100 option - ensuring consistent thermal and mechanical behavior across deployments.
Does the LPC54616J256ET180 support Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA)?
No, the LPC54616J256ET180 does not include a SHA module. Table 2 explicitly marks "no" under the SHA column for all LPC54616 devices. SHA acceleration is only present in the LPC54628 variant, making LPC54616J256ET180 unsuitable for applications requiring hardware-accelerated cryptographic hashing.
