The NXP LPC3230FET296,551 is a 16/32-bit ARM926EJ-S microcontroller clocked at 266 MHz, built for peripheral-rich embedded control where a full OS or heavy data throughput is needed. With 256K x 8 on-chip RAM and no internal program memory (ROMless), this part boots from external flash or ROM via the EBI/EMI interface — a design choice that trades BOM simplicity for flexible memory sizing.
On-chip peripherals and connectivity
Connectivity spans EBI/EMI, I²C, IrDA, Microwire, SPI, SSI, SSP, UART/USART, and USB OTG, covering most industrial fieldbus and serial sensor interfaces. Three 10-bit ADCs handle analog feedback from current shunts or potentiometers.
NXP has marked the LPC3230FET296,551 as obsolete. For existing BOM lines, procurement must go through surplus or broker channels.
Package and supply
Housed in a 296-ball TFBGA (15x15 mm), surface-mount only. Supply range is 0.9 V to 3.6 V.
