Product details
Overview
LPC845M301JHI48E from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller operating at up to 30 MHz, featuring 64 KB flash, 16 KB SRAM, one 12-bit ADC (12-channel, 1.2 Msps), two 10-bit DACs, and capacitive touch interface - deployed in industrial sensor gateways and portable human-interface devices.
For engineers reviewing the LPC845M301JHI48E datasheet, LPC845M301JHI48E pinout, LPC845M301JHI48E application, or LPC845M301JHI48E equivalent, key selection criteria include its HVQFN48 package with 42 GPIOs, switch-matrix I/O routing, self-wake-up timer with external clock input (PIO0_28), and dual DAC outputs for analog control loops.
Technical Context
The LPC845M301JHI48E implements an Arm Cortex-M0+ core (r0p1) with single-cycle I/O and NVIC, paired with a multilayer AHB matrix and Micro Trace Buffer for debug visibility. Its peripheral set includes five USARTs (two fractional baud generators), four I2C interfaces (one Fast-mode Plus), two SPI controllers, and a flexible switch matrix enabling function remapping across 42 GPIO pins.
Timing subsystems comprise an SCTimer/PWM (5 inputs/7 outputs, 8 match/capture units), a 32-bit general-purpose timer (4 match/3 capture), four-channel Multi-Rate Timer, and a self-wake-up timer (WKT) clocked by FRO, low-power oscillator, or external signal on PIO0_28 - all supported in deep power-down mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Arm Cortex-M0+ (r0p1), 30 MHz max - enables deterministic real-time control with low interrupt latency and efficient code density. |
| Memory | 64 KB flash (64-byte page erase), 16 KB SRAM (dual 8 KB banks) - supports firmware updates via IAP and MTB trace buffer allocation. |
| Analog Peripherals | 12-bit ADC (12 channels, 1.2 Msps, dual sequences), two 10-bit DACs (DACOUT_0/DACOUT_1), comparator (5 inputs) - enables closed-loop analog sensing and actuation. |
| Digital I/O | 42 configurable GPIOs with pull-up/down, open-drain, input inverter, digital filter, and independent bit-set/clear/toggle - simplifies hardware abstraction layer development. |
| Serial Interfaces | 5 USARTs, 4 I2C (1× Fast-mode Plus @ 1 Mbit/s), 2 SPI - provides multi-protocol connectivity for sensor fusion and host communication. |
| Power & Temp | 1.8–3.6 V supply, -40 °C to +105 °C operation, deep power-down mode with wake-up on PIO0_4 or RESET - suitable for harsh industrial environments. |
| Package | HVQFN48 (7 mm × 7 mm × 0.85 mm, no leads, thermal pad) - delivers compact footprint and enhanced thermal performance for space-constrained designs. |
Pinout & Package
HVQFN48 package: 7 mm × 7 mm body, 0.85 mm height, exposed thermal pad, 48 terminals in perimeter layout with terminal 1 index area marked. Pin 1 located at top-left corner when viewed from top with marking side up.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Core & I/O supply | Primary 1.8–3.6 V power input; multiple VDD pins ensure stable rail distribution across die. |
| VSS | Digital ground | Reference return path for digital logic; multiple VSS pins reduce ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
| VDDA / VSSA | Analog supply / ground | Isolated 1.8–3.6 V analog domain supply and return - critical for ADC/DAC accuracy and noise immunity. |
| PIO0_2 / PIO0_3 | SWDIO / SWCLK | Default Serial Wire Debug interface - enables programming and real-time debugging without JTAG overhead. |
| PIO0_4 | WAKEUP / ADC_11 | Deep power-down wake-up trigger (50 ns pulse); also serves as ADC input channel 11 when not used for wake-up. |

| PIO0_8 / PIO0_9 | XTALIN / XTALOUT | Crystal oscillator interface (1–25 MHz) - supports precise timing for UART baud rates and synchronous peripherals. |
| PIO0_10 / PIO0_11 | I2C0_SCL / I2C0_SDA | True open-drain Fast-mode Plus I2C bus (1 Mbit/s) - requires external pull-ups; high-current sink capability ensures robust bus drive. |
| PIO0_17 / PIO0_29 | DACOUT_0 / DACOUT_1 | Analog voltage outputs (10-bit resolution) - directly drive reference inputs, op-amp feedback paths, or low-power actuators. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LPC845M301JHI48E?
The LPC845M301JHI48E operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 30 MHz, achieved via its Arm Cortex-M0+ core and supported by the factory-trimmed Free Running Oscillator (FRO) delivering 18 MHz, 24 MHz, or 30 MHz outputs with ±1 % accuracy across 0–70 °C. This frequency enables real-time execution of control algorithms and protocol stacks without external high-frequency crystals.
Does the LPC845M301JHI48E support in-application programming (IAP)?
Yes, the LPC845M301JHI48E supports Flash In-Application Programming (IAP) via its on-chip ROM API, allowing firmware updates during runtime without halting system operation. This capability is implemented alongside ISP through USART, SPI, and I2C interfaces, enabling field upgrades and bootloader customization in deployed systems.
How many analog-to-digital converter (ADC) channels does the LPC845M301JHI48E provide?
The LPC845M301JHI48E integrates a 12-bit ADC with up to 12 input channels (ADC_0 through ADC_11), supporting sample rates up to 1.2 Msamples/s and two independent conversion sequences. Channel mapping includes dedicated pins like PIO0_7 (ADC_0) and PIO0_29 (not ADC), with full routing flexibility via the switch matrix for custom signal acquisition paths.
What package type is used for the LPC845M301JHI48E?
The LPC845M301JHI48E uses the HVQFN48 package: a plastic thermal-enhanced very thin quad flat package with no leads, 48 terminals, 7 mm × 7 mm body size, and 0.85 mm height. It features an exposed thermal pad for improved heat dissipation and is optimized for high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained applications.
Can the LPC845M301JHI48E wake up from deep power-down mode using an external signal?
Yes, the LPC845M301JHI48E can wake up from deep power-down mode via external signals on either PIO0_4 (WAKEUP pin) or PIO0_5 (RESET pin). A LOW-going pulse as short as 50 ns on PIO0_4 triggers wake-up; the pin must be externally pulled HIGH before entering deep power-down. The WKTCLKIN pin (PIO0_28) also supports external clock wake-up in all power modes.
