The LPC11U24FET48/301,: At 50 MHz, the Cortex-M0 executes most single-cycle instructions, giving roughly 50 MIPS of deterministic throughput.
Within the LPC11U24 family, the LPC11U23FET48/301 (16 KB Flash) and LPC11U24FET48/301 itself share the same 48-TFBGA footprint and pinout — the only difference is Flash size. For a higher-density drop-in, the LPC11U37FET48/301 (64 KB Flash) also shares the same package and pinout.
The LPC11U24FET48/301 is rated for -40°C to 85°C (industrial temperature grade), making it suitable for outdoor, factory-floor, and automotive-cabin applications.
Yes, it includes a USB 2.0 full-speed device controller alongside I²C, SPI, UART, and SSP interfaces — enough connectivity for a USB HID or serial bridge design.
