LPC1768UKZ
LPC1768UKZ - 100MHz Cortex-M3 MCU with 512KB Flash | NXP
The NXP Semiconductors LPC1768UKZ is a 100 MHz, 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller with 512 KB flash memory, 64 KB data memory, Ethernet MAC, USB, and extensive serial peripherals in a 100-ball BGA package. The UKZ package option and integrated connectivity target industrial, communications, control, and embedded data-acquisition systems where a high pin count and compact footprint are valuable. It combines a single Cortex-M3 core with an 8-channel 12-bit ADC, 10-bit DAC, four UARTs, two CAN channels, three SSP/SPI interfaces, three I²C interfaces, I²S, DMA, and motor-control PWM.
An ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller is a 32-bit embedded processor designed around the ARM Cortex-M3 instruction set, combining deterministic interrupt handling, compact code execution, and extensive peripheral integration. In the product hierarchy, the LPC1768UKZ is a microcontroller MCU and embedded processor within the broader semiconductor category. Its 512 KB flash supports embedded firmware, while 64 KB of data memory supports working storage. NXP describes the LPC1768 family as a scalable mainstream solution for embedded applications requiring high integration and low power consumption at frequencies up to 100 MHz.
The principal differentiators are the combination of 100 MHz operation, 512 KB flash, Ethernet MAC, USB Device/Host/OTG, eight-channel DMA, and a broad peripheral set in one device. The 8-channel 12-bit ADC supports multiple analog inputs without requiring an external converter, while the 10-bit DAC provides an on-chip analog output for control or signal-generation tasks. Four UARTs, two CAN channels, three SSP/SPI interfaces, three I²C interfaces, and I²S reduce the need for external communication controllers. Motor-control PWM further supports actuator and power-control designs.
The supplied NXP product information confirms the LPC1768UK family identity, while distributor records identify LPC1768UKZ as the ordering variant associated with a 100-pin, 3.3 V device. Exact voltage ranges, pin assignments, current limits, package dimensions, temperature limits, and clock-tree details require confirmation in the manufacturer datasheet because those values are not fully included in the supplied search extracts. The LPC1768UKZ should therefore be selected against the complete datasheet and board-level requirements before release to production.
Typical applications include industrial Ethernet controllers, USB-connected embedded systems, CAN-based automation equipment, motor-control systems, data loggers, communications equipment, and multi-channel sensor acquisition systems. The combination of Ethernet, USB, CAN, high-speed serial interfaces, and analog conversion allows a compact design to consolidate several functions normally distributed across separate ICs. This is particularly useful for industrial controllers, building-automation equipment, test systems, and connected embedded products.
A critical design consideration is package and PCB verification. The LPC1768UKZ uses a high-pin-count BGA package according to distributor records, so escape routing, via-in-pad or fanout strategy, exposed-pad handling, assembly capability, and thermal performance must be confirmed before layout release. Software migration should also account for peripheral-instance names, clock configuration, pin multiplexing, startup code, and the exact Cortex-M memory map.
This page consolidates the verified NXP family specifications, distributor package identification, pricing references, and application guidance. It distinguishes confirmed facts from missing datasheet details and avoids treating search-snippet information as a complete electrical characterization. Engineers should use the manufacturer datasheet for final pinout, timing, power, EMC, and qualification decisions.
