Product details

180 MHz Cortex-M3 with external memory — a gateway-class MCU

ROMless architecture — plan the external memory budget

The LPC18S50FET180E has no internal Flash or OTP. The BOM must include an external nonvolatile memory device, typically a serial SPI Flash or parallel NOR Flash.

Frequently asked questions

What is LPC18S50FET180E's listed speed?

The core runs at 180 MHz. That is the maximum CPU clock, which translates to roughly 324 DMIPS on the Cortex-M3 pipeline.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to LPC18S50FET180E?

Within the LPC18xx family, the LPC1850FET180 (without the 'S' security suffix) is pin-compatible and shares the same 180-TFBGA footprint. The difference is the security feature set; verify your firmware's security requirements before swapping.
