Chapter 1: LPC29xx Introductory information
7.
Architectural overview
The LPC29xx consists of:
•
An ARM968E-S processor with real-time emulation support
•
An AMBA multi-layer Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB) for interfacing to the
on-chip memory controllers
•
Two DTL buses (an universal NXP interface) for interfacing to the interrupt controller
and the Power, Clock and Reset Control cluster (also called subsystem).
•
Three ARM Peripheral Buses (APB - a compatible superset of ARM's AMBA
advanced peripheral bus) for connection to on-chip peripherals clustered in
subsystems.
•
One ARM Peripheral Bus for event router and system control.
The LPC29xx configures the ARM968E-S processor in little-endian byte order. All
peripherals run at their own clock frequency to optimize the total system power
consumption. The AHB2APB bridge used in the subsystems contains a write-ahead buffer
one transaction deep. This implies that when the ARM968E-S issues a buffered write
action to a register located on the APB side of the bridge, it continues even though the
actual write may not yet have taken place. Completion of a second write to the same
subsystem will not be executed until the first write is finished.

ARM968E-S processor
The ARM968E-S is a general purpose 32-bit RISC processor, which offers high
performance and very low power consumption. The ARM architecture is based on
Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) principles, and the instruction set and related
decode mechanism are much simpler than those of microprogrammed Complex
Instruction Set Computers (CISC). This simplicity results in a high instruction throughput
and impressive real-time interrupt response from a small and cost-effective controller
core.
