Target MCU feature used
Description
MCU (target MCU)
LPC5536 MCU with 32-bit Arm Cortex-M33 core running at a
frequency of up to 150 MHz
For details on the LPC5536 MCU, see
LPC553x Reference Manual.
NOTE
USB
USB 2.0 full-speed host and device
controller (USB0)
A USB micro-AB connector for the target MCU USB0
connection. The board also provides a USB micro-B
connector as a power-only connector and another USB
micro-B connector for MCU-Link.
USART
Flexcomm modules 0 and 2
• FC0 USART connection is supported as:
— An external UART connection from a 1x3 pin
header or a USB-to-UART bridge for connecting
MCU-Link to the target MCU
— An external UART connection from one of the
connectors of Motor 2 + Arduino socket
• FC2 USART connection is supported as an external
UART connection from one of the connectors of
mikroBUS socket
I2C
Flexcomm modules 1, 3, and 7
• FC1 I2C: Supports a USB-to-I2C bridge between MCU-
Link and the target MCU
• FC3 I2C: Connects to one of the connectors of Motor 2 +
Arduino socket
• FC7 I2C: Connects to another connector of Motor 2
+ Arduino socket, one of the connectors of mikroBUS
socket, audio codec, audio expansion connector, and
external DMIC connector
I2S
Flexcomm modules 0, 2, 3, 4, and 6
I2S connections are supported on an audio codec and audio
expansion connector
HS SPI
Flexcomm module 8
Three HS SPI slave selects are used:
• SS0: Connects to one of the connectors of mikroBUS
socket
• SS1: Supports a USB-to-SPI bridge between MCU-Link
and the target MCU
• SS3: Connects to one of the connectors of Motor 2 +
Arduino socket
CAN
Controller area network flexible data
(MCAN) controller
A high-speed CAN transceiver for driving CAN signals
between the target MCU and a DB9 connector
