The NXP microcontroller family LPC214x
uses a high-performance 32-bit ARM7
core that operates at up to 60 MHz.
Each device has up to 512 KB of on-chip
Flash and up to 40 KB of on-chip SRAM
memory.
In-System Programming (ISP) and In-
Application Programming (IAP) software
minimize programming time – each 256-
byte line takes only 1 ms to program,
and a single-sector or full-chip erase
takes only 400 ms.
A 128-bit-wide memory interface and
a patented memory accelerator enable
32-bit code execution from Flash with
zero wait-states. For applications where
code size is critical, an alternative 16-bit
Thumb mode reduces code by more
than 30% with minimal performance
penalties.
Each microcontroller in the family
includes a USB 2.0 full-speed (12 Mbps)
device that supports 32 endpoints with
2 KB of endpoint RAM. In the LPC2146
and the LPC2148, up to 8 KB of the RAM
can be used by the USB DMA. In all
the devices, the USB function supports
Control, Interrupt, Bulk, and Isochronous
data-transfer modes. Designers can
choose between GoodLink
™
and SoftConnect
™
functionality.
Each microcontroller is also equipped with up to two 10-bit
A/D converters and a 10-bit D/A converter.
Multiple serial communications interfaces increase design
flexibility, provide larger buffer size, and deliver higher
processing power. There are two 16C550 UARTs, two Fast
I
2
C-bus (400 kbps) interfaces, and two SPI interfaces (one with
capabilities for buffering and variable data length).
There are two 32-bit timers (each with four capture and
compare channels), a PWM unit with six outputs, a real-time
clock, and a Watchdog timer.
For debugging, each device supports real-time emulation
and embedded trace support and has an integrated vectored
interrupt controller (VIC). Also, for compatibility with existing
tools, each device uses the standard ARM test/debug JTAG
interface.
Other features include 45 Fast I/O pins (5-V tolerant) with
switching up to 15 MHz, and an operating temperature range
of -40 to 85 °C.
