Chapter 1: LPC24XX Introductory information
Most features and peripherals are identical for all LPC2400 parts. All differences are listed
in
3.
LPC2400 features
•
ARM7TDMI-S processor, running at up to 72 MHz.
•
98 kB on-chip SRAM includes:
–
64 kB of SRAM on the ARM local bus for high performance CPU access.
–
16 kB SRAM for Ethernet interface. Can also be used as general purpose SRAM.
–
16 kB SRAM for general purpose DMA use also accessible by the USB.
–
2 kB SRAM data storage powered from the RTC power domain.
•
LPC2458/68/78 only:
512 kB on-chip Flash program memory with In-System
Programming (ISP) and In-Application Programming (IAP) capabilities. Flash program
memory is on the ARM local bus for high performance CPU access.
•
Dual Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB) system allows memory access by
multiple resources and simultaneous program execution with no contention.
•
EMC provides support for asynchronous static memory devices such as RAM, ROM
and Flash, as well as dynamic memories such as Single Data Rate SDRAM.
•
Advanced Vectored Interrupt Controller (VIC), supporting up to 32 vectored interrupts.
•
General Purpose AHB DMA controller (GPDMA) that can be used with the SSP, I
2
S,
and SD/MM interface as well as for memory-to-memory transfers.
•
LPC2470/78 only:
LCD controller, supporting both Super-Twisted Nematic (STN) and
Thin-Film Transistors (TFT) displays.
–
Dedicated DMA controller.
–
Selectable display resolution (up to 1024
×
768 pixels).
–
Supports up to 24-bit true-color mode.
•
Serial Interfaces:
–
Ethernet MAC with MII/RMII interface and associated DMA controller. These
functions reside on an independent AHB bus.
–
USB 2.0 full-speed dual port device/host/OTG controller with on-chip PHY and
associated DMA controller.
–
Four UARTs with fractional baud rate generation, one with modem control I/O, one
with IrDA support, all with FIFO.
–
CAN controller with two channels.
