Product details
Overview
LPC5506JHI48QL from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M33 microcontroller designed for secure embedded control applications. It operates at up to 96 MHz, integrates 256 KB flash and 96 KB SRAM, features CAN 2.0 (not CAN FD), a 16-bit 2.0 Msamples/sec ADC with 7 channels, and supports TrustZone®-enabled secure boot without PUF or CASPER acceleration.
For engineers reviewing the LPC5506JHI48QL datasheet, LPC5506JHI48QL pinout, LPC5506JHI48QL application, or LPC5506JHI48QL equivalent, key selection criteria include its HVQFN48 package, 30 GPIOs, PRINCE flash encryption, dual 32 kHz clock sources (FRO and crystal), and absence of hardware crypto accelerators (CASPER/PUF) compared to LPC55S0x variants.
Technical Context
The LPC5506JHI48QL implements ARMv8-M architecture with TrustZone® for memory isolation but omits CASPER co-processor and Physical Unclonable Function (PUF), limiting asymmetric cryptographic acceleration. Its security model relies on software-managed AES-256 and SHA2 via dedicated HASH-AES engine, supported by ROM-based secure boot using RSA-2048/4096 signatures and x.509 certificate validation.
It uses two independent clock domains: a 96 MHz system clock derived from FRO or PLL, and an always-on 32 kHz domain for RTC and wake-up timers. The HVQFN48 package provides 30 GPIOs with configurable functions including Flexcomm interfaces (up to 7 UART/I²C/SPI/I²S instances), SCTimer/PWM, PLU, and analog peripherals-ADC, comparator, and temperature sensor-all accessible within the same power domain.

FAQ
Does LPC5506JHI48QL support CAN FD?
No, LPC5506JHI48QL implements CAN 2.0 only. Unlike the LPC55S0x variants, it lacks the CAN FD controller and associated hardware enhancements. This is confirmed in Table 2 of the datasheet, which explicitly lists "CAN2.0" under the CAN FD column for LPC5506JHI48. Applications requiring CAN FD must use LPC55S06JHI48 or equivalent.
What is the maximum ADC sample rate supported by LPC5506JHI48QL?
LPC5506JHI48QL supports a maximum ADC sample rate of 2.0 Msamples/sec. This applies to its 16-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with 7 single-ended input channels. Simultaneous conversions are supported only on differential pairs, but the HVQFN48 variant provides 7 single-ended channels without differential pairing capability per the datasheet's Table 2.
Is the PUF (Physical Unclonable Function) available on LPC5506JHI48QL?
No, PUF is not available on LPC5506JHI48QL. Table 2 confirms PUF Controller is marked "-" for all LPC550x parts, including LPC5506JHI48QL. Only LPC55S0x variants (e.g., LPC55S06JHI48) include the PUF module for silicon fingerprinting and hardware key generation.
How many Flexcomm interfaces does LPC5506JHI48QL support?
LPC5506JHI48QL supports up to 7 Flexcomm interfaces (Flexcomm 0–6), as specified in the datasheet note on page 7. Each can be configured as UART, I²C, SPI, or I²S. Flexcomm 7 is not available in the HVQFN48 package, unlike the HTQFP64 variant which supports up to 8.
What debug interfaces are available on LPC5506JHI48QL?
LPC5506JHI48QL supports Serial Wire Debug (SWD) via pins PIO0_2/TRST, PIO0_3/TCK, PIO0_4/TMS, PIO0_5/TDI, and PIO0_6/TDO. JTAG boundary scan is also supported, but SWD is the primary debug interface. SWO trace output is available on PIO0_8, enabling real-time instruction tracing without additional pins.
