LPCXpresso boards for LPC546xx/LPC540xx families of MCUs
1. Introduction
The LPCXpresso™ family of boards provides a powerful and flexible development
system for NXP's LPC Cortex®-M family of MCUs. They can be used with a wide range
of development tools, including NXP’s MCUXpresso IDE. The LPCXpresso54608
(OM13092), LPCXpresso54618 (board provided as part of the OM13094 CAN-FD Kit)
and LPCXpresso54628 (OM13098) share the same design and have been developed by
NXP to enable evaluation of and prototyping with the LPC546x8/540xx family of MCUs.
There is no functional difference between these boards except the (1) functionality of the
LPC546x8/540xx device installed, and (2) that the LPC54618 board included in the
OM13094 does not include the LCD panel. The LPCXpresso54018 also uses the same
board design and components, but has different booting behavior due to differences in
the LPC54018 MCU boot ROM. All boards use a BGA180 package.
Note that the LPCXpresso54628 board features an LPC54628 device which has a
superset of functionality compared to the LPC54608 and LPC54618. This means code
written for the LPC54608 and LPC54618 can run unchanged on the LPC54628. The
LPC54628 is capable of running at up to 220MHz, but requires a different power library
(from the MCUXpresso SDK) than the other devices in order to run at this clock speed.
The LPCXpresso54018 board features and LPC54018 MCU which can operate at up to
180MHz. This MCU also includes CAN-FD support. While most of the peripherals are
identical between LPC540xx and LPC546x8 devices, a different SDK is required for each
family.
The schematics show that the board was designed for either 1.8 V or 3.3 V build
configurations, but all production boards are built in the 3.3 V configuration.

This document describes the hardware of the LPCXpresso546x8/540xx boards, plus
information on the CAN-FD shield supplied in the OM13094 kit (this shield board is also
available as a standalone product, order code OM13099.) This shield board can be used
with any of the LPCXpresso boards described, but the LPCXpresso54608 does not
support CAN-FD.
The following aspects of interfacing to the board are covered by this guide:
•
Main board features.
•
Setup for use with development tools.
•
Board interface connectors.
•
Jumper settings.
2. Feature summary
The LPCXpresso546x8/540xx board includes the following features:
•
On-board, high-speed USB based, Link2 Debug Probe with CMSIS-DAP and
SEGGER J-Link protocol options:
Link2 probe can be used with on-board LPC546x8/540xx or external target.
UART and SPI port bridging from LPC546x8/540xx target to USB via the on-board
Debug Probe.
Support for external Debug Probe.
