Product details
Overview
LPC5516JEV98E from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller designed for secure embedded applications, featuring 256 KB flash, 96 KB SRAM, TrustZone® security, PRINCE real-time flash encryption, CASPER crypto acceleration, CAN FD, USB full-speed and high-speed interfaces, and a 16-bit 2.0 Msamples/sec ADC. It operates up to 150 MHz and supports industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +105 °C) in VFBGA98 packaging.
For engineers reviewing the LPC5516JEV98E datasheet, LPC5516JEV98E pinout, LPC5516JEV98E application, or LPC5516JEV98E equivalent, key selection considerations include secure boot with RSA-2048/4096, PUF-based key generation, PRINCE-encrypted flash updates, Flexcomm-configurable serial peripherals (USART/SPI/I²C/I²S), and dual USB controllers with crystal-less FS operation.
Technical Context
The LPC5516JEV98E implements Arm TrustZone® at the hardware level to isolate secure and non-secure execution environments, enabling secure firmware updates via SB2 format and debug authentication using RSA-2048/4096. Its PRINCE module performs real-time AES-128 encryption/decryption of flash reads/writes without software overhead.
CASPER co-processor accelerates ECC operations (e.g., ECDSA, ECDH) while the integrated PUF generates and reconstructs cryptographic keys (64–4096 bits) from silicon fingerprinting. The device uses two DMA controllers (23+10 channels) to offload data movement for ADC, USB, CAN FD, and Flexcomm peripherals, supporting simultaneous 2-channel ADC sampling at 2.0 Msamples/sec.

FAQ
What security features does the LPC5516JEV98E support?
The LPC5516JEV98E supports PRINCE real-time flash encryption/decryption, CASPER hardware acceleration for ECC operations, secure boot with RSA-2048/4096 signature verification, SHA2 hashing, AES-256, and a True Random Number Generator (TRNG). It does not include TrustZone® or PUF, distinguishing it from the LPC55S1x family. These features enable secure firmware updates and cryptographic operations without software overhead in the LPC5516JEV98E.
Does the LPC5516JEV98E support USB high-speed operation?
Yes, the LPC5516JEV98E integrates a USB 2.0 high-speed host/device controller with an on-chip high-speed PHY, supporting 480 Mbps data rates. It also includes a separate full-speed USB controller with crystal-less operation capability in device mode. Both controllers have dedicated DMA engines to minimize CPU load during bulk transfers in the LPC5516JEV98E.
What is the ADC performance specification for the LPC5516JEV98E?
The LPC5516JEV98E features a 16-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC capable of up to 2.0 million samples per second (Msamples/sec). It supports five differential channel pairs (or ten single-ended inputs), simultaneous dual-channel conversion, and multiple trigger sources including timers and external events. This performance is confirmed in the official NXP LPC55S1x/LPC551x datasheet Rev. 1.8 for the LPC5516JEV98E.
Which package type is used for the LPC5516JEV98E?
The LPC5516JEV98E uses the VFBGA98 package: a thin fine-pitch ball grid array with 98 solder balls, 7 mm × 7 mm body size, and 0.5 mm pitch. This package is specified in NXP's ordering information table and matches the SOT1982-1 mechanical drawing. It is pin-compatible with other VFBGA98 variants in the LPC55S1x/LPC551x family, including LPC55S16JEV98.
Can the LPC5516JEV98E execute secure boot with RSA-4096 signatures?
No-the LPC5516JEV98E does not support secure boot. According to Table 2 in the NXP datasheet Rev. 1.8, the "Secure boot" column for LPC5516JEV98 is marked with a dash (–), indicating this feature is disabled. Only LPC55S1x variants (e.g., LPC55S16JEV98) implement RSA-2048/4096 secure boot. The LPC5516JEV98E retains PRINCE and CASPER but omits boot ROM cryptographic verification capabilities.
