Product details
Overview
LPC54618J512ET180 from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller with FPU and MPU, operating at up to 180 MHz, featuring 512 KB flash, 200 KB SRAM, CAN FD, Ethernet AVB, LCD controller, and 12-bit 5.0 MS/s ADC - deployed in industrial HMI, automotive gateway modules, and networked IoT edge nodes.
For engineers reviewing the LPC54618J512ET180 datasheet, LPC54618J512ET180 pinout, LPC54618J512ET180 application, or LPC54618J512ET180 equivalent, key selection considerations include TFBGA180 package compatibility, dual USB (HS/FS) support with on-chip PHYs, EMC interface for external SDRAM, and absence of SHA acceleration compared to LPC54628 variants.
Technical Context
The LPC54618J512ET180 implements an ARM Cortex-M4 core (r0p1) with hardware FPU, MPU, and NVIC, executing at 180 MHz using a 3-stage Harvard pipeline with speculative branching and integrated prefetch unit. It integrates dual DMA controllers: one general-purpose (30-channel) and dedicated DMA for Ethernet, CAN FD, USB, SDIO, and LCD subsystems.
Its peripheral architecture centers on ten Flexcomm interfaces - software-configurable as USART, SPI, I2C, or I2S - two CAN FD controllers, Ethernet MAC with AVB support, SPIFI for XIP-capable off-chip flash, and a DMIC subsystem with PDM input, decimation, and I2S streaming. Clocking includes dual PLLs (USB/audio), FRO (±1% trimmed), and independent domain clocks for ADC, USB, and audio.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LPC54618J512ET180?
The LPC54618J512ET180 operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 180 MHz, as confirmed in Table 2 of the official NXP datasheet Rev. 2.8. This frequency is achieved using the system PLL driven by the internal 96 MHz FRO or external crystal, and is validated across the full −40 °C to +105 °C temperature range and 1.71–3.6 V supply.
Does the LPC54618J512ET180 include hardware SHA acceleration?
No, the LPC54618J512ET180 does not include a Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) module. As specified in Table 2 of the datasheet, SHA support is exclusive to the LPC54628 variant. The LPC54618J512ET180 retains all other peripherals - including dual CAN FD, Ethernet AVB, LCD, and EMC - but omits the SHA engine and its dedicated DMA controller.
Which package type does the LPC54618J512ET180 use?
The LPC54618J512ET180 uses the TFBGA180 package (SOT570-3), a 12 mm × 12 mm × 0.8 mm thin fine-pitch ball grid array with 180 solder balls and 0.8 mm pitch. This is explicitly stated in both Table 1 (Ordering Information) and Table 2 (Ordering Options) of the NXP LPC546xx datasheet Rev. 2.8.
How many Flexcomm interfaces does the LPC54618J512ET180 support?
The LPC54618J512ET180 supports ten Flexcomm interfaces (FC0 through FC9), each configurable in software as USART, SPI, I2C, or I2S. Two of these (FC0 and FC1) also support I2S functionality. This is documented in Section 2 "Features and benefits" and confirmed in the block diagram (Figure 4) of the NXP datasheet.
What is the ADC resolution and sampling rate of the LPC54618J512ET180?
The LPC54618J512ET180 integrates a 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with up to 12 input channels and a maximum sampling rate of 5.0 million samples per second (5.0 MS/s). It supports two independent conversion sequences and internal/external triggering, as detailed in Section 2 "Analog peripherals" of the NXP datasheet Rev. 2.8.
