Product details
Overview
LPC5512JBD64K from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller designed for secure, low-power embedded control applications. It integrates 64 KB on-chip flash, 48 KB SRAM, CAN 2.0 interface, full-speed USB device controller, and a 16-bit 2.0 Msamples/sec ADC with simultaneous conversion capability - deployed in industrial sensor nodes requiring deterministic real-time response and firmware integrity.
For engineers reviewing the LPC5512JBD64K datasheet, LPC5512JBD64K pinout, LPC5512JBD64K application, or LPC5512JBD64K equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, security feature implementation details, and validated alternative options for cost-optimized, secure MCU selection in temperature-constrained industrial designs.
Technical Context
The LPC5512JBD64K implements Arm TrustZone® at the hardware level to isolate secure and non-secure execution environments, enabling secure boot with RSA-2048/4096 signature verification and PRINCE-based flash encryption. Its dual DMA controllers (23+10 channels) offload data movement from the CPU across peripherals including CAN, USB, Flexcomm interfaces, and ADC.
It features two independent clock domains: a high-frequency system domain (up to 150 MHz via PLL/FRO) and an always-on RTC domain (32 kHz FRO or external crystal), supporting wake-up from deep power-down using either the RTC alarm or Micro-Tick Timer. The 64-pin HTQFP package supports 36 GPIOs with configurable I/O functions, pin interrupts, and secure GPIO capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Arm Cortex-M33 @ up to 150 MHz with TrustZone®, FPU, and MPU - enables secure RTOS deployment and DSP-accelerated signal processing. |
| Memory | 64 KB flash + 48 KB SRAM (16 KB code bus, 32 KB system bus) - sufficient for compact firmware with encrypted bootloader and runtime crypto operations. |
| USB Interface | Full-speed USB 2.0 device controller with on-chip PHY and crystal-less operation - eliminates external oscillator for cost-sensitive USB peripheral designs. |
| CAN Interface | CAN 2.0 compliant (not CAN FD) - supports legacy automotive and industrial fieldbus communication without FD protocol stack overhead. |
| ADC | 16-bit, 2.0 Msamples/sec SAR ADC with 10 single-ended or 5 differential channels and simultaneous dual-channel conversion - suitable for high-fidelity analog sensing in motor control or power monitoring. |
| Security | Hardware AES-256, SHA-2, TRNG, PUF, and Code Watchdog - provides root-of-trust foundation for secure firmware updates and runtime code-flow integrity checking. |
| Package | HTQFP64 (10 × 10 × 0.5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and accessible debug/test access via JTAG/SWD pins. |
Pinout & Package
HTQFP64 package: 64-lead plastic low-profile quad flat package, 10 mm × 10 mm body, 0.5 mm lead pitch, exposed thermal pad (EP), RoHS-compliant. Pin 1 marked by dot or bevelled corner; pin numbering follows counter-clockwise convention from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PIO0_0–PIO0_35 | General-purpose I/O / alternate function multiplexing | 36 GPIOs support UART/SPI/I2C/ADC/CAN/USB functions via software-configurable IOCON registers; default reset state disables pull-ups/downs except on debug pins. |
| PIO0_11 / PIO0_12 | SWD Debug Interface | Serial Wire Debug clock (SWCLK) and data (SWDIO); enabled at reset for out-of-box programming and trace without JTAG header. |
| PIO0_5 | Boot Mode Selection | State at reset determines boot source (flash vs. ISP handler); requires external pull-up/down for reliable factory or field firmware recovery. |
| VDD / VSS | Power Supply / Ground | Single 1.8–3.6 V supply rail; internal DC-DC converter reduces external component count; dedicated VSS pins minimize noise coupling to analog sections. |
| XTAL_IN / XTAL_OUT | 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator | Connects to external 32.768 kHz crystal for RTC accuracy; bypass mode supports 100 kHz external clock input for battery-backed timekeeping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrustZone®-enabled Secure Execution | Hardware-isolated secure/non-secure memory and peripheral access - enables certified secure boot, encrypted firmware storage, and protected key management without software-only trust assumptions. |
| PRINCE Flash Encryption | Real-time AES-128 encryption/decryption of flash reads/writes - protects intellectual property and prevents unauthorized firmware extraction or modification during field updates. |
| Flexcomm Serial Interfaces | Nine configurable serial peripherals (Flexcomm 0–8) supporting USART/SPI/I2C/I2S - allows dynamic allocation of communication protocols per application need without hardware redesign. |
| SCTimer/PWM | State-configurable timer with 8 inputs, 10 outputs, and 16 match/capture registers - implements complex PWM waveforms, event sequencing, and input capture for motor control or power conversion timing. |
| Secure Boot with DICE | Device Identifier Composition Engine (DICE) Level 00 compliance - generates cryptographically bound device identity for zero-touch provisioning and attestation in IoT edge deployments. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LPC5512JBD64K?
The LPC5512JBD64K operates at up to 150 MHz using its Arm Cortex-M33 core, supported by PLL0/PLL1 clock synthesis from internal FRO (12 MHz or 96 MHz), external crystal (12–32 MHz), or 32.768 kHz RTC oscillator. This frequency is fully supported across the specified -40 °C to +105 °C temperature range and 1.8–3.6 V supply voltage.
Does the LPC5512JBD64K support CAN FD?
No, the LPC5512JBD64K implements CAN 2.0 only, as confirmed in Table 2 of the official datasheet. Unlike LPC55S1x/LPC5516 variants, it lacks CAN FD protocol support and associated hardware features such as bit-rate switching and extended data length handling.
What security features are included in the LPC5512JBD64K?
The LPC5512JBD64K includes hardware AES-256, SHA-2, TRNG, PUF, Code Watchdog, and PRINCE flash encryption. It supports secure boot with RSA-2048/4096 signatures and x.509 certificate validation, but omits CASPER crypto co-processor and TrustZone® - distinguishing it from LPC55S1x family members.
What is the ADC resolution and sampling rate of the LPC5512JBD64K?
The LPC5512JBD64K integrates a 16-bit SAR ADC capable of up to 2.0 million samples per second, supporting simultaneous conversions on differential channel pairs. It offers 10 single-ended or 5 differential input channels, with internal temperature sensor and comparator inputs routed to dedicated ADC channels.
Which package type does the LPC5512JBD64K use?
The LPC5512JBD64K uses the HTQFP64 package: a 64-lead plastic low-profile quad flat package measuring 10 mm × 10 mm with 0.5 mm lead pitch and an exposed thermal pad. This package is documented in Table 1 of the datasheet under ordering option "LPC5512JBD64".
