LPC2478FBD208,551 - NXP Semiconductors

1. General description

NXP Semiconductors designed the LPC2420/2460 microcontroller around a 16-bit/32-bit

ARM7TDMI-S CPU core with real-time debug interfaces that include both JTAG and

embedded trace. The LPC2420/2460 is flashless. The LPC2420/2460 can execute both

32-bit ARM and 16-bit Thumb instructions. Support for the two instruction sets means

engineers can choose to optimize their application for either performance or code size at

the sub-routine level. When the core executes instructions in Thumb state it can reduce

code size by more than 30 % with only a small loss in performance while executing

instructions in ARM state maximizes core performance.

The LPC2420/2460 micr ocontroller is ideal for multi-purpose communica tion applications.

It incorporates a 10/100 Ethernet Me dia Access Controller (MAC) (LPC2460 only), a USB

full-speed device/host/OTG controller with 4 kB of endpoint RAM, four UARTs, two

Controller Area Network (CAN) channels (LPC2460 only), an SPI interface, two

Synchronous Serial Ports (SSP), three I2C interfaces, and an I2S interface. Supporting

this collection of serial communications interfaces are the following feature components;

an on-chip 4 MHz internal precision oscillator, 82/98 kB of total RAM consisting of 64 kB

of local SRAM, 16 kB SRAM for Ethernet (LPC2460 only), 16 kB SRAM for general

purpose DMA, 2 kB of battery powered SRAM, and an External Memory Controller

(EMC). The se fe at ures make this dev i ce optimally suited for communication gateways

and protocol converters. Complementing the many serial com m unica tio n cont ro ller s,

versatile clocking capabilities, and memory features are various 32-bit timers, an

improved 10-bit ADC, 10-bit DAC, two PWM units, four external interrupt pins, and up to

160 fast GPIO lines. The LPC2420/2460 connects 64 of the GPIO pins to the hard ware

based Vector Interrupt Controller (VIC) that me a ns th es e ext er na l inp uts can gener at e

edge-triggered interrupts. All of these features make the LPC2420/2460 particularly

suitable for industrial control and medical systems.

outputs. Each timer block has an external count input.

Two PWM/timer blocks with support for three-phase motor control . Each PWM has

an external count inputs.

RTC with separate power domain. Clock source can be the RTC oscillator or the

APB clock.

2 kB SRAM powered from the RTC power pin, allowing data to be stored wh en the

rest of the chip is powered off.

WatchDog Timer (WDT). The WDT can be clocked from the internal RC oscillator,

the RTC oscillator, or the APB clock.

Standard ARM test/debug interface for compatibility with existing tools.

Emulation trace module supports real-time trace.

Single 3.3 V power supply (3.0 V to 3.6 V).

Four reduced power modes: idle, sleep, power-down, and deep power-down.

Four external interrupt inputs configurable as edge/level sensitive. All pins on port 0

7. Functional description

7.1 Architectural overview

The LPC2420/2460 microcontroller consists of an ARM7TDMI-S CPU with emulation

support, the ARM7 local bus for closely coupled, high-speed access to the majority of

on-chip memory, the AMBA AHB interfacing to high-speed on-chip peripherals and

external memory, and the AMBA APB for connection to other on-chip per ipheral functions.

The microcontroller permanently configures the ARM7TDMI-S processor for little-endian

byte order.

The LPC2460 only implements two AHB in order to allow the Ethernet block to operate

without interference caused by other system activity. The primary AHB, referred to as

AHB1, includes the VIC, GPDMA controller, and EMC.

The second AHB (LPC2460 only), referred to as AHB2, includes only the Ethernet block

and an associated 16 kB SRAM. In addition, a bus bridge is provided that allows the

secondary AHB to be a bus master on AHB1, allowing exp ansion of Ethernet buf fer spa ce

into off-chip memory or unused space in memory residing on AHB1.

In summary, bus masters with access to AHB1 are the ARM7 itself, the GPDMA function,

and the Ethernet bl ock (via the bus bridge fr om AHB2). Bus masters with access to AHB2

are the ARM7 and the Ethernet block.

AHB peripherals are allocated a 2 MB range of addresses at the very top of the 4 GB

ARM memory space. Each AHB peripheral is allocated a 16 kB address space within the

AHB address space. Lower speed peripheral functions are connected to the APB. The

AHB to APB bridge interfaces the APB to the AHB. APB peripherals are also allocated a

2 MB range of addresses, beginning at the 3.5 GB address point. Each APB peripheral is

allocated a 16 kB address space within the APB address space.

The ARM7TDMI-S processor is a general purpose 32-bit microprocessor, which offers

high performance and very low power consumption. The ARM architecture is based on

Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) principles, a nd the instruction set and r elated

decode mechanism are much simpler than those of microprogrammed complex

instruction set computers. This simplicity results in a high instructio n th ro ug hpu t an d

impressive real-time interrupt response from a small and cost-effective processor core.

Pipeline techniques are employed so that all p arts o f the processing and m emory systems

can operate continuously. Typically, while one instruction is being executed, its successor

is being decoded, and a third instruction is being fetched from memory.

The ARM7TDMI-S processor also employs a unique architectural strategy known as

Thumb, which makes it ideally suited to high-volume applications with memory

restrictions, or applications where code density is an issue.

The key idea behind Thumb is that of a super-reduced instruction set. Essentially, the

ARM7TDMI-S processor has two instruction sets:

•the standard 32-bit ARM set

•a 16-bit Thumb s et

Product data sheet Rev. 6.1 — 22 September 2011 27 of 86

NXP Semiconductors LPC2420/2460

Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

The Thumb set’ s 16-bit instruction length allo ws it to approach higher density comp ared to

standard ARM code while retaining most of the ARM’s performance.

7.2 On-chip SRAM

The LPC2420/2460 includes a SRAM memory of 64 kB reserved for the ARM processor

exclusive use. This RAM may be used for code and/or dat a storage and ma y be accessed

as 8 bits, 16 bits, and 32 bits.

A 16 kB SRAM block serving as a buf fer fo r the Eth er net contr oller (LPC24 60 only) an d a

16 kB SRAM assoc iated with the second AHB can be use d bo th for data and code

storage, too. The 2 kB RTC SRAM can be used for data storage only. The RTC SRAM is

battery powered and retains the content in the absence of the main power supply.

7.3 Memory map

The LPC2420/2460 memory map incorporates several distinct regions as shown in

Table 5 and Figure 4.

In addition, the CPU interrupt vectors may be remapped to allow them to reside in either

boot ROM or SRAM (see Section 7.25.6).

7.4 Interrupt controller

The ARM processor cor e has two interrupt in puts called Interrupt Request (I RQ) and Fast

Interrupt Request (FIQ). The VIC takes 32 interrupt request inputs which can be

programmed as FIQ or vectored IRQ types. The programmable assignment scheme

means that priorities of interrupts from the various peripherals can be dynamically

assigned and adjusted.

FIQs have the highest priority. If more than one request is assigned to FIQ, the VIC ORs

the requests to produce the FIQ signal to the ARM processor. The fastest possible FIQ

latency is achieved when only one request is classified as FIQ, because then the FIQ

service routine can simply start dealing with that device. But if more than one request is

assigned to the FIQ class, the FIQ service routine can read a word from the VIC that

identifies which FIQ source(s) is (are) requesting an inte rr up t.

Vectored IRQs, which include all interrupt reque st s that are not cla ssified as FIQs, have a

programmable interrupt priority. When more than one interrupt is assigned the same

priority and occu r simultaneously, the one connected to the lowest numbered VIC channel

will be serviced first.

The VIC ORs the requests from all of the vectored IRQs to produce the IRQ signal to the

ARM processor. The IRQ service routine can start by reading a register from the VIC and

jumping to the address supplied by that register.

7.4.1 Interrupt sources

Each peripheral device has one interrupt line connected to the VIC but may have several

interrupt flags. Individual interrupt flags may also represent more than one interrupt

source.

Any pin on port 0 and port 2 (total of 64 pins) regardless of the selected function , can be

programmed to generate an interrupt on a rising edge, a falling edge, or both. Such

interrupt request coming from port 0 and/or port 2 will be combined with the EINT3

interrupt requests.

7.5 Pin connect block

The pin connect block allows selected pins of the microcontroller to have more than one

function. Configuration registers control the multiplexers to allow connection between the

pin and the on chip peripherals.

Peripherals should be conn ected to the appro priate pins prior to being activated and pr ior

to any related interrup t(s) being enabled. Activity of any enabled peripheral function that is

not mapped to a related pin should be considered undefined.

7.6 External memory controller

The LPC2420/2460 EMC is an ARM PrimeCell MultiPort Memory Controller peripheral

offering support for asynchronous static memory devices such as RAM, ROM, and flash.

In addition, it can be used as an interface with off-chip memory-mapped devices and

peripherals. The EMC is an Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) compliant

peripheral.

7.6.1 Features

•Dynamic memory interface support including single data rate SDRAM.

•Asynchronous static memory device support including RAM, ROM, and flash, with or

without asynchronous page mode.

•Low transaction latency.

•Read and write buffers to reduce latency and to improve performance.

•8/16/32 data and 24 address lines wide static memory support.

•16 bit and 32 bit wide chip select SDRAM memory support.

•Static memory features include:

Product data sheet Rev. 6.1 — 22 September 2011 30 of 86

NXP Semiconductors LPC2420/2460

Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

–Asynchronous page mode read

–Programmable Wait States

–Bus turnaround delay

–Output enable and write enable delays

–Extended wait

•Four chip selects for synchronous memory and four chip select s for static memory

devices.

•Power-saving modes dynamically control CKE and CLKOUT to SDRAMs.

•Dynamic memory self-refresh mode controlled by software.

•Controller supports 2048, 4096, and 8192 row address synchronous memory parts.

That is typical 512 MB, 256 MB, and 128 MB parts, with 4, 8, 16, or 32 data bits per

device.

•Separate reset domains allow the for auto-refresh through a chip reset if desired.

Note: Synchronous static memory devices (synchronous burst mode) are not supported.

7.7 General purpose DMA controller

The GPDMA is an AMBA AHB compliant peripheral allowing selected LPC2420/2460

peripherals to have DMA support.

The GPDMA enables peripheral-to-memory, memory-to-peripheral,

peripheral- to -p erip he ra l, an d m em o ry- to -me mo ry transactions. Eac h DM A stre am

provides unidirectional serial DMA transfers for a single source and destination. For

example, a bidirectional port requires one stream for transmit and one for receive. The

source and destination areas can each be either a memory region or a peripheral, and

can be accessed through the AHB master.

7.7.1 Features

•Two DMA channels. Each channel can support a unidirectional transfer.

•The GPDMA can transfer data between the 16 kB SRAM, external memory, and

peripherals such as the SD/MMC, two SSPs, and the I2S interface.

•Single DMA and burst DMA request signals. Each peripheral connected to the

GPDMA can assert either a burst DMA request or a single DMA request. The DMA

burst size is set by programming the GPDMA.

•Memory-to-memory, memory-to-peripheral, peripheral-to-memory, and

peripheral-to-peripheral transfers.

•Scatter or gather DMA is supported through the use of linked lists. This means that

the source and destination areas do not have to occupy contiguous areas of mem ory.

•Hardware DMA channel priority. Each DMA channel has a specific hardware priority.

DMA channel 0 has the highest priority and channel 1 has the lowest priority. If

requests from two channels become active at the same time, the channel with the

highest priority is serviced first.

•AHB slave DMA programming interface. The GPDMA is programmed by wr iting to the

DMA control register s ove r the AHB slav e int er fa ce.

Product data sheet Rev. 6.1 — 22 September 2011 31 of 86

NXP Semiconductors LPC2420/2460

Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

•One AHB master for transferring data. This interface transfers data when a DMA

request goes active.

•32-bit AHB master bus width.

•Incrementing or non-incrementing addressing for source and destination.

•Programmable DMA burst size. The DMA burst size can be programmed to more

efficiently transfer data. Usually the burst size is set to half the size of the FIFO in the

peripheral.

•Internal four-word FIFO per channel.

•Supports 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit wide transactions.

•An interrupt to the pr ocessor ca n be gene rate d on a DMA comp letion or when a DMA

error has occurred.

•Interrupt masking. The DMA error and DMA terminal count interrupt requests can be

masked.

•Raw interrupt status. The DMA error and DMA count raw interrupt status can be read

prior to masking.

7.8 Fast general purpose parallel I/O

Device pins that are not connected to a specific peripheral function are controlled by the

GPIO registers. Pins may be dynamically configured as inputs or outputs. Separate

registers allow setting or clearing any nu mber of outp uts simultan eou sly. The value of the

output register may be read back as well as the current state of the port pins.

LPC2420/2460 use accelerated GPIO functions:

•GPIO registers are relocated to the ARM local bus so that the fastest possible I/O

timing can be achieved.

•Mask registers allow treating sets of port bits as a group, leaving other bits

unchanged.

•All GPIO registers are byte and half-word addressable.

•Entire port value can be written in one instruction.

Additionally, any pin on port 0 and port 2 (total of 64 pins) that is not configured as an

analog input/output can be programmed to generate an interrupt on a rising edge, a falling

edge, or both. The ed ge detection is asynchronou s, so it may operate when clocks are no t

present such as during Power-down mode. Each enabled interrupt can be used to wake

the chip up from Power-down mode.

7.8.1 Features

•Bit level set and clear registers allow a single instr uction to set or clear any nu mber of

bits in one port.

•Direction control of individual bits.

•All I/O default to inputs after reset.

•Backward compatibility with other earlier devices is maintained with legacy port 0 and

port 1 registers appearing at the original addresses on the APB.

7.9 Ethernet (LPC2460 only)

The Ethernet block contains a full featured 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s Ethernet MAC

designed to provide optimized performance thro ugh the use of DMA hardware

acceleration. Features include a generous suite of control registers, half or full duplex

operation, flow control, control frames, hardware acceleration for transmit retry, receive

packet filtering an d wa ke-u p on LAN activity. Automatic frame transmission and reception

with scatter-gather DMA off-loads many operations from the CPU.

The Ethernet block and the CPU share a dedicated AHB subsystem that is used to access

the Ethernet SRAM for Ethernet da ta, control, and st atus information. All other AHB traffic

in the LPC2420/2460 takes place on a different AHB subsystem, effectively separating

Ethernet activity from the rest of the system. The Ethernet DMA can also access off-chip

memory via the EMC, as well as the SRAM located on another AHB. However, using

memory other than the Ethernet SRAM, especially off-chip memory, will slow Ethernet

access to memory an d increase the loading of its AHB.

The Ethernet block interfaces between an off-chip Ethernet PHY using the Media

Independent Interface (MII) or Reduced MII (RMII) protocol and the on-chip Media

Independent Interface Management (MIIM) serial bus.

7.9.1 Features

7.10 USB interface

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a 4-wire bus that supports communication between a

host and one or more (up to 127) peripherals. The host controller allocates the USB

bandwidth to attached devices through a token-based protocol. The bus supports hot

plugging and dynamic configuration of the devices. All transactions are initiated by the

host controller.

7.11 CAN controller and accep tance filters (LPC2460 only)

The Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial communications protocol which efficiently

supports distributed real-time control with a very high level of security. Its domain of

application ranges from high-speed networks to low cost multiplex wiring.

The CAN block is intended to support multiple CAN buses simultaneously, allowing the

device to be used as a gateway, switch, or router between two of CAN buses in industrial

or automotive applications.

Each CAN controller has a register structure similar to the NXP SJA1000 and the PeliCAN

Library block, but the 8-bit registers of those devices have been combined in 32-bit words

to allow simult aneous access in the ARM environment. The main operational d iff erence is

that the recognition of received Identifiers, known in CAN terminology as Acceptance

Filtering, has been removed from the CAN controllers and centralized in a global

Acceptance Filter.

7.11.1 Features

slaves on the bus. Only a single master and a single slave can communicate on the bus

during a given data transfer. The SSP supports full duplex transfers, with frames of 4 bits

to 16 bits of data flo wing fro m the maste r to the slave and from the slave to the master. In

practice, often only one of these data flows carries meaningful data.

7.18 I2C-bus serial I/O controller

The LPC2420/2460 contains three I2C-bus controllers.

The I2C-bus is bidirectional, for inter-IC control using only two wires: a serial clock line

(SCL), and a serial data line (SDA). Eac h device is recognized by a uniqu e address and

can operate as either a r eceiver-o nly device ( e.g., an LCD driver) or a tra nsmitter with the

capability to both receive and send information (such as memory). Transmitters and/or

receivers can oper ate in eithe r master or sl ave mo de, dependin g on wheth er the chip has

to initiate a data transfer or is only addressed. The I2C-bus is a multi-master bus and can

be controlled by more than one bus master connected to it.

The I2C-bus implemented in LPC2420/2460 supports bit rates up to 400 kbit/s (Fast

I2C-bus).

7.18.1 Features

•I2C0 is a standard I2C compliant bus interface with open-drain pins.

resume serial transfer.

•The I2C-bus can be used for test and diagnostic purposes.

7.19 I2S-bus serial I/O controllers

The I2S-bus provides a standard communication interface for digital audio applications.

Product data sheet Rev. 6.1 — 22 September 2011 38 of 86

NXP Semiconductors LPC2420/2460

Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

The I2S-bus specification defines a 3-wire serial bus using one data line, one clock line,

and one word select signal. The basic I2S connection has one master, which is always the

master, and one slave. The I2S interface on the LPC2420/2460 provides a separate

transmit and rece ive chan n el, each of whic h ca n op er at e as eithe r a mast er or a slav e.

7.19.1 Features

•The interface has sep arate input/output channels each of which can o perate in master

or slave mode.

•Capable of handling 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit word sizes.

•Mono and stereo audio data supported.

•The sampling frequency can range from 16 kHz to 48 kHz (16, 22.05, 32, 44.1,

48) kHz.

•Configurable word select period in master mode (separately for I2S-bus input and

output).

•Two 8 word FIFO data buffers are provided, one for transmit and one for receive.

•Generates interrupt requests when buffer levels cross a programmable boundary.

•Two DMA requests, controlled by programmable buffer levels. These are connected

to the GPDMA block.

•Controls include reset, stop and mute options sep arately for I2S-bus input and I2S-bus

output.

7.20 General purpose 32-bit timers/external event counters

The LPC2420/2460 includes four 32-bit Timer/Counters. The Timer/Counter is designed

to count cycles of the system derived clock or an externally-supplied clock. It can

optionally generate inter rupt s or perfo rm other actions at specified time r values, base d on

four match registers. T he T ime r/Counter also include s four captu re input s to trap the time r

value when an input signal transitions, optionally generating an interrupt.

7.20.1 Features

•A 32-bit Timer/Counter with a programmable 32-bit prescaler.

•Counter or Timer operation.

•Up to four 32-bit capture channels per timer, that can take a snapshot of the timer

value when an input signal transitions. A capture event may also optionally generate

an interrupt.

•Four 32-bit matc h re gist er s tha t allo w:

–Continuous operation with optional interrupt generation on match.

–Stop timer on match with optional interrupt generation.

–Reset timer on match with optional interrupt generation.

•Up to four external outputs corresponding to match registers, with the following

capabilities:

–Set LOW on match.

–Set HIGH on match.

–Toggle on match.

Product data sheet Rev. 6.1 — 22 September 2011 39 of 86

NXP Semiconductors LPC2420/2460

Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

–Do nothing on match.

7.21 Pulse width modulator

The PWM is based on the standard Timer block and inherits all of its features, although

only the PWM function is pinned out on the LPC2420/2460. The Timer is designed to

count cycles of the system derived clock and optionally switch pins, ge nerate interrupt s or

perform other actions when spe cified timer values occur , based on seven match registers.

The PWM function is in addition to these features and is based on match register events.

The ability to separately control rising and falling edge locations allows the PWM to be

used for more applications. For instance, multi-phase motor control typically r equires

three non-overlapping PWM outputs with individual control of all three pulse widths and

positions.

Two match registers can be used to provide a single edge controlled PWM output. A

dedicated match register controls the PWM cycle rate, by rese tting the count upo n match.

The other match register controls the PWM edge position. Additional single edge

controlled PWM ou tp u ts require only on e m atc h register each, since the repetition rate is

the same for all PWM outputs. Multiple single edge controlled PWM output s will all have a

rising edge at the beginning of each PWM cycle, when an PWMMR0 match occurs.

Three match registers can be used to provide a PWM output with both ed ge s co ntr o lled .

Again, a dedicated match re gister controls the PWM cycle rate. The other match re gisters

control the two PWM edge positions. Additional double edge controlled PWM outputs

require only two match registers each, since the repetition rate is the same for all PWM

outputs.

With double edge controlled PWM outputs, specific match registers control the rising and

falling edge of the output. This allows both positive going PWM pulses (when the rising

edge occurs prior to the falling edge), and negative going PWM pulses (when the falling

edge occurs prior to the rising edge).

7.21.1 Features

•LPC2420/2460 has two PWMs with the same operational features. These may be

operated in a synchronized fashion by setting them both up to run at the same rate,

then enabling both simulta neously. PWM0 acts as the master and PWM1 as the slave

for this use.

•Counter or Timer operation (may use the per ipheral clock or o ne of the capture input s

as the clock source).

•Seven match registers allow up to 6 single edge controlled or 3 double edge

controlled PWM outputs, or a mix of both types. The match registers also allow:

–Continuous operation with optional interrupt generation on match.

–Stop timer on match with optional interrupt generation.

–Reset timer on match with optional interrupt generation.

•Supports single edge controlled and/or double edge controlled PWM outputs. Single

edge controlled PWM outputs all go HIGH at the beginning of each cycle unless the

output is a constant LOW . Do uble edge controlled PWM outp uts can have eithe r edge

occur at any position within a cycle. This allows for both positive going and negative

going pulses.

Product data sheet Rev. 6.1 — 22 September 2011 40 of 86

NXP Semiconductors LPC2420/2460

Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

•Pulse period and width can be any number of timer counts. This allows complete

flexibility in the trade-off between resolution and repetition rate. All PWM outputs will

occur at the same repetition rate.

•Double edge controlled PWM outputs can be programmed to be either positive going

or negative going pulses.

•Match register updates are synchronized with pulse outputs to prevent ge ne ra tio n of

erroneous pulses. Sof tware must ‘release’ new ma tch values before they ca n become

effective.

•May be used as a standard timer if the PWM mode is not enabled.

•A 32-bit Timer/Counter with a programmable 32-bit Prescaler.

7.22 Watchdog timer

The purpose of the watchdog is to reset the mi crocontroller within a reasonable amount of

time if it enters an erroneous state. When enabled, the watchdog will generate a system

reset if the user program fails to ‘feed’ (or reload) the watchdog within a predetermined

amount of time.

7.22.1 Features

•Internally resets chip if not periodically reloaded.

•Debug mode.

•Enabled by soft ware but requires a har dware reset or a watchdog reset/interrupt to be

disabled.

•Incorrect/Incomplete feed sequence causes reset/interrupt if enabled.

•Flag to indicate watchdog reset.

•Programmable 32-bit timer with internal prescaler.

•Selectable time period from (Tcy(WDCLK) 256 4) to (Tcy(WDCLK) 232 4) in

multiples of Tcy(WDCLK) 4.

•The Watchdog Clock (WDCLK) source can be selected from the RTC clock, the

Internal RC oscillator (IRC), or the APB peripheral clock. This gives a wide range of

potential timing choices of Watchdog operation under different power reduction

conditions. It also provides the ability to run the WDT from an entirely internal source

that is not dependent on an external crystal and its associated components and

wiring, for increased reliability.

7.23 RTC and battery RAM

The RTC is a set of counte rs for measur ing time when system power is on, and optio nally

when it is off. It uses little power in Power-down and Deep power-down modes. On the

LPC2420/2460, the RTC can be clocked by a sep arate 32.768 kHz oscillator or by a

programmable prescale divider based on the APB clock. Also, the RTC is powered by its

own power supply pin, VBAT, which can be connected to a battery or to the same 3.3 V

supply used by the rest of the device.

Product data sheet Rev. 6.1 — 22 September 2011 41 of 86

NXP Semiconductors LPC2420/2460

Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

The VBAT pin supplies power only to the R TC and the Battery RAM. These two functions

require a minimum of power to operate, which can be supplied by an external battery.

When the CPU and the rest of chip functions are stopped and power removed, the RTC

can supply an alarm output that can be used by external hardware to restore chip power

and resume operation.

7.23.1 Features

•Measures the passage of time to maintain a calendar and clock.

•Ultra low power design to support battery powered systems.

•Provides Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Day of Month, Month, Year, Day of Week, and

Day of Year.

•Dedicated 32 kHz oscillator or programmable prescaler from APB clock.

•Dedicated power supply pin can be connected to a battery or to the main 3.3 V.

•An alarm output pin is included to assist in waking up when the chip has had power

removed to all functions except the RTC and Battery RAM.

•Periodic interru pts can be generated fr om increments o f any field of the time registers,

and selected fractional second values. This enhancement enables the RTC to be

used as a System Timer.

•2 kB data SRAM powered by VBAT.

•RTC and Battery RAM power supply is isolated from the rest of the chip.

7.24 Clocking and power control

7.24.1 Crystal oscillators

The LPC2420/2460 includes three independent oscillators. These are the Main Oscillator,

the Internal RC oscillator, and the RTC oscillator. Each oscillator can be used for more

than one purpose as required in a particular application. Any of the three clock sources

can be chosen by software to drive the PLL and ultimately the CPU.

Following reset, the LPC2420/2460 will operate from the Internal RC oscillator until

switched by software. This allows systems to oper ate without any extern al cryst al and the

bootloader code to operate at a known frequency.

7.24.1.1 Internal RC oscillator

The IRC may be used as the clock so urce for th e WDT, and/or as the clock that drives the

PLL and subsequently the CPU. The nominal IRC frequency is 4 MHz. The IRC is

trimmed to 1 % accuracy.

Upon power-up or any chip reset, the LPC2420/2460 uses the IRC as the clock source.

Software may later switch to one of the other available clock sources.

7.24.1.2 Main oscillator

The main oscillator can be used as the clock source for the CPU, with or withou t using the

PLL. The main oscillator operates at frequencies of 1 MHz to 25 MHz. This frequency can

be boosted to a higher frequency, up to the maximum CPU operating frequency, by the

PLL. The clock selected as the PLL input is PLLCLKIN. The ARM processor clock

frequency is referred to as CCLK elsewhere in this document. The frequencies of

Product data sheet Rev. 6.1 — 22 September 2011 42 of 86

NXP Semiconductors LPC2420/2460

Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

PLLCLKIN and CCLK are the same value unless the PLL is active and connected. The

clock frequency for each peripheral can be selected individually and is referred to as

PCLK. Refer to Section 7.24.2 for additional information.

7.24.1.3 RTC oscillator

The RTC oscillator can be used as the clock source for the R TC and/or the WDT. Also, the

RTC oscillator can be used to drive the PLL and the CPU.

7.24.2 PLL

The PLL accepts an input clock frequency in the range of 32 kHz to 25 MHz. The input

frequency is multiplied up to a high frequency, then divided down to provide the actual

clock used by the CPU and the USB block.

The PLL input, in the range of 32 kHz to 25 MHz, may initially be divided down by a value

‘N’, which may be in the range of 1 to 256. This input division provides a wide range of

output frequencies from the same input frequency.

Following the PLL input divider is the PLL multiplier. This can multiply the input divider

output through the use of a Current Controlled Oscillator (CCO) by a value ‘M’, in the

range of 1 through 32768. The resulting frequency must be in the range of 275 MHz to

550 MHz. The multiplier works by dividing the CCO output by the value of M, then using a

phase-frequency detector to compare the divided CCO output to the multiplier input. The

error value is used to adjust the CCO frequency.

The PLL is turned off and bypassed following a chip Reset and by entering Power-down

mode. PLL is enabled by sof tware only. The program must configure and activate the PLL,

wait for the PLL to lock, then connect to the PLL as a clock source.

7.24.3 Wake-up timer

The LPC2420/246 0 begins operation at powe r-up and wh en awakened from Powe r-down

and Deep-power down modes by using the 4 MHz IRC oscillator as the clock source. This

allows chip operation to resume quickly. If the main oscillator or the PLL is needed by the

application, software will need to enable these features and wait for them to stabilize

before they are used as a clock source.

When the main oscillator is initially activate d, the wake-up timer allows sof tware to e nsure

that the main oscillator is fully functional before the processor uses it as a clock source

and starts to execute instructions. This is important at power on, all types of Reset, and

whenever any of the aforementioned functions are turned off for any reason. Since th e

oscillator and other functions are turned off during Power-down and Deep power-down

modes, any wake-up of the processor from Power-down modes makes use of the

wake-up timer.

The wake-up timer monitors the cryst al oscillator to check whether it is safe to begin code

execution. When power is applied to the chip, or when some event caused the chip to exit

Power-down mode, some time is required for the oscillator to produce a signal of suf ficient

amplitude to drive the clock logic. Th e amount o f time depends on many factors, including

the rate of VDD(3V3) ramp (in the case of power on), the type of crystal and its electrical

characterist ics (if a qu ar tz crystal is used), as well as any other external circuitry (e.g.,

capacitors), and the characteristics of the oscillator itself under the existing ambient

conditions.

NXP Semiconductors LPC2420/2460

Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

7.24.4 Power control

The LPC2420 /2 460 su pp o rts a variety of po we r con tr ol fe at ur es . Th er e ar e fo ur spe cial

modes of processor power reduction: Idle mode, Sleep mode, Power-down mode, and

Deep power-down mode. The CPU clock rate may also be controlled as needed by

changing clock sources, reconfiguring PLL values, and/or altering the CPU clock divider

value. This allows a trade-off of power versus processing speed based on application

requirements. In addition, Peripheral power control allows shutting down the clocks to

individual on-chip peripherals, allowing fine tunin g of power consumption by eliminating all

dynamic power use in a ny peripherals that are not require d for the application. Each of the

peripherals has its own clock divider which provides even better power control.

The LPC2420/2460 also implements a sep arate power domain in order to allow turning of f

power to the bulk of the device while ma intaining opera tion of the RTC and a small SRAM,

referred to as the Battery RAM.

7.24.4.1 Idle mode

In Idle mode, execution of instructions is suspended until either a Reset or interrupt

occurs. Peripheral functions continue operation during Idle mode and may generate

interrupts to cause the processor to resume execution. Idle mode eliminates dynamic

power used by the processor itself, memory systems and related controllers, and internal

buses.

7.24.4.2 Sleep mode

In Sleep mode, the oscillator is shut down and the chip receives no internal clocks. The

processor state an d re gis te rs, per i phe ra l registers, and internal SRAM values are

preserved throughout Sleep mode and the logic levels of chip pins remain static. The

output of the IRC is disabled but the IRC is not powered down fo r a fast wake-up later . The

32 kHz RTC oscillator is not stopped because the RTC interrupts may be used as the

wake-up source. The PLL is automatically turned off and disconnected. The CCLK and

USB clock dividers automatically get reset to zero.

The Sleep mode can be terminated and normal operation resumed by either a Reset or

certain specific interrupts that are able to function without clocks. Since all dynamic

operation of the chip is suspended, Sleep mode reduces chip power consumption to a

very low value.

On the wake-up from Sleep mode, if the IRC was used before entering Sleep mode, the

code execution and peripherals activities will resume after 4 cycles expire. If the main

external oscillator was used, the code execution will resume when 4096 cycles expire.

The customers need to reconfigure the PLL and clock dividers accordingly.

7.24.4.3 Power-down mode

Power-down mode does everything that Sleep mode does but also turns off the IRC

oscillator.

On the wake-up from Power-down mode, if the IRC was used before entering

Power-down mode, it will take IRC 60 s to start-up. After this 4 IRC cycles will expire

before the code execution can then be r esumed if the code was ru nning from SRAM. The

customers need to reconfigure the PLL and clock dividers accordingly after a wake-up

from Power-down mode.

Product data sheet Rev. 6.1 — 22 September 2011 44 of 86

NXP Semiconductors LPC2420/2460

Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

7.24.4.4 Deep power-down mode

Deep power-down mode is similar to the Power-down mode, but now the on-chip

regulator that supplies power to the intern al logic is also shut of f. This produce s the lowest

possible power consumption without removing power fr om the entire chi p. Since the Deep

power-down mode shuts down the on-chip logic power supply, there is no register or

memory retention, and resumption of operation involves the same activities as a full chip

reset.

If power is supplied to the LPC2420/2460 during Deep power-down mode, wake-up can

be caused by the RTC Alarm interrupt or by external Reset.

While in Deep power-down mode, external device power may be removed. In this case,

the LPC2420/2460 will start up when external power is restored.

Essential data may be retained through Deep power-down mode (or through complete

powering of f of the chip) by storing dat a in the Battery RAM, as long as the external power

to the VBAT pin is maintained.

7.24.4.5 Power domains

The LPC2420/2460 provides two independent power domains that allow the bulk of the

device to have power removed while maintaining operation of the RTC and the Battery

RAM.

On the LPC2420/2460, I/O pads are powered by the 3.3 V (VDD(3V3)) pins, while the

VDD(DCDC)(3V3) pins power the on-chip DC-to-DC converter which in turn provides power to

the CPU and most of the peripherals.

Although both the I/O pad ring and the core require a 3.3 V supply, different powering

schemes can be used depending on the actual application requirements.

The first option assumes that power consumption is not a conce rn and th e design ties the

VDD(3V3) and VDD(DCDC)(3V3) pins together. This approach requires only one 3.3 V power

supply for both pads, the CPU, and peripherals. While this solution is simple, it does not

support powering down the I/O pad ring “on the fly” while keeping the CPU and

peripherals alive.

The second option uses two power supplie s; a 3.3 V supply for the I/O pads (VDD(3V3)) and

a dedicated 3.3 V supply for the CPU (VDD(DCDC)(3V3)). Having the on-c hip DC-DC

converter powered independently from the I/O pad ring enables shutting down of the I/O

pad power supply “on the fly”, while the CPU and peripherals stay active.

The VBAT pin supplies power only to the R TC and the Battery RAM. These two functions

require a minimum of power to operate, which can be supplied by an external battery.

When the CPU and the rest of chip functions are stopped and power removed, the RTC

can supply an alarm output that may be used by external hardware to restore chip power

and resume operation.

Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

7.25 System control

7.25.1 Reset

Reset has four sources on the LPC2420/2460: the RESET pin, the Wat chd o g re se t,

power-on reset, and the BrownOut Detection (BOD) circuit. The RESET pin is a Schmitt

trigger input pin. Assertion of chip Reset by any source, once the operating volt age attains

a usable level, starts the wake-up timer (see description in Section 7.24.3 “Wake-up

timer”), causing reset to remain asserted until the external Reset is de-asserted, the

oscillator is running, and a fixed number of clocks have passed.

Once the internal reset is removed, all of the processor and peripheral registers have

been initialized to predetermined values and the LPC2420/2460 continues with booting

from an external static memory.

7.25.2 Boot process

The processor always boots from the off-chip static memory bank 1, executing code from

address 0x8100 0000 (see Table 5 “LPC2420/2460 memory usage and details”). During

the boot process initiated by POR, the boot pins P3[15]/D1 5 and P3[14]/D14 are sampled,

and the external memor y banks 0 and 1 are configured with th e same data bus width. The

data bus wid th is determined by the setting of the two boot pins. Unused address pins ar e

configured as GPIO. See Section 14.1 “Suggested boot memory interface solutions” for

an example of address and data bus interfacing.

Remark: After POR, the addr ess ranges of chip select 1 and chip select 0 are swapped.

The user code residing in the external boot memory must be linked to exec ute from

address location 0x8000 0000.

When booting from external memory, the interrupt vectors are mapped to the bottom of

the external memory. Once booting is over, the application must map interrupt vectors to

the proper domain.

7.25.3 Brownout detection

The LPC2420/2460 includ es 2-st age mo nitoring of the volt ag e on th e VDD(DCDC)(3V3) pins.

If this voltage falls below 2.95 V, the BOD asserts an interrupt signal to the Vectored

Interrupt Controller. This signal can be enabled for interrupt in the Interrupt Enable

signal by reading a dedicated status register.

The second stag e of low-voltage detection assert s a BOD Reset and generates a Reset (if

this reset source is enabled in sof tware) to inactivate the LPC2420/2460 when the vo ltage

on the VDD(DCDC)(3V3) pins falls below 2.65 V. The BOD circuit maintains this reset down

below 1 V, at which point the power-on reset circuitry maintains the overall Reset.

Both the 2.95 V and 2.65 V thresholds include some hysteresis. In normal operation, this

hysteresis allows the 2.95 V detection to reliably interrupt, or a regularly-executed event

loop to sense the condition.

Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

7.25.4 AHB

The LPC2460 implement s two AHB in order to allow the Ethernet block to opera te without

interference caused by other system activity. The primary AHB, referred to as AHB1, is

implemented on LPC2420 as well and includ es the Vectored Interrupt Controller, GPDMA

controller, USB interface, and 16 kB SRAM.

The second AHB, referred to as AHB2, is implemented on LPC2460 only and includes

only the Ethernet blo ck an d an ass ocia te d 16 kB SRAM. In addition, a bus bridge is

provided that allows the secondary AHB to be a bus master on AHB1, allowing e xpans ion

of Ethernet buffer space into off-chip memory or unused space in memory residing on

AHB1.

In summary, bus masters with access to AHB1 are the ARM7 itself, the USB block, the

GPDMA function, and the Etherne t block (via the bus bridge from AHB2). B us mast er s

with access to AHB2 are the ARM7 and the Ethernet block.

7.25.5 External interrupt inputs

The LPC2420/2460 includes up to 68 edge sensitive interrupt inputs combined with up to

four level sensitive external interrupt inputs as selectable pin functions. The external

interrupt inputs can optionally be used to wake up the processor from Power-down mode.

7.25.6 Memory mapping control

The memory mapping control alters th e mapping of the interrupt vectors that appear at the

beginning at address 0x0000 0000. Vectors may be mapped to the bottom of the Boot

ROM, the SRAM, or external memory. This allows code running in different memory

spaces to have control of the interrupts.

7.26 Emulation and debugging

The LPC2420/2460 support emu lation and d ebuggi ng via a JTAG serial port. A trace port

allows tracing program execution. Debugging and trace functions are multiplexed only

with GPIOs on P2[0] to P2[9]. This means that all communication, timer, and interface

peripherals residing on other pins are available during the development and debugging

phase as they are when the application is run in the embedded system itself.

7.26.1 EmbeddedICE

The EmbeddedICE logic provides on-chip debug support. The debugging of the target

system requires a host computer running the debugger software and an EmbeddedICE

protocol convertor. The EmbeddedICE protocol convertor conve rts the Remote Debug

Protocol commands to the JTAG data needed to access the ARM7TDMI-S core present

on the target system.

The ARM core has a Debu g Co mmunication Channel (DCC) function built-in. The DCC

allows a program running on the target to communica te with the host debugger or another

separate host without stopping the program flow or even entering the debug state. The

DCC is accessed as a coprocessor 1 4 by the program running on the ARM7TDMI-S core.

The DCC allows the JTAG port to be used for sending and receiving da ta without af fecting

the normal progr am flow. The DCC data a nd control reg isters are map ped in to addre sses

in the EmbeddedICE logic.

Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

The JTAG clock (TCK) must be slower than 1⁄6 of the CPU clock (CCLK) for the JTAG

interface to operate.

7.26.2 Embedded trace

Since the LPC2420/2460 have significant am ount s of on-chip memories, it is not possib le

to determine how the processor core is operating simply by observing the external pins.

The ETM provides real-time trace capability for deeply embedded processor cores. It

outputs information about processor execution to a trace port. A soft ware debugger allows

configuration of the ETM using a JTAG interface and displays the trace information that

has been captured.

The ETM is connected directly to the ARM core and not to the main AMBA system bus. It

compresses the trace information and exports it through a narrow trace port. An external

Trace Port Analyzer captures the trace information under software debugger control. The

trace port can broadcast the Instruction trace information. Instruction trace (or PC trace)

shows the flow of execution of the processor and pro vides a list of all the instructions th at

were executed. Instruction trace is significantly compressed by only broadcasting branch

addresses as well as a set of status signals that indicate the pipeline st atus on a cycle by

cycle basis. Trace information generation can be controlled by selecting the trigger

resource. Trigger resources include address comparators, counters and sequencers.

Since trace information is compressed the software debugger requires a static image of

the code being executed. Self-modifying code can not be traced because of this

restriction.

7.26.3 RealMonitor

RealMonitor is a configurable software module, developed by ARM Inc., which enables

real-time debug. It is a lightweight debug monitor that runs in the background while users

debug their fo reground application. It co mmunicates with the host using the DCC, which is

present in the EmbeddedICE lo gic. The LPC2420/2460 con tain a specif ic configuration of

RealMonitor software programmed into the on-chip ROM memory.

8. Limiting values

[1] The following app lies to the limiting values:

a) This product includes circuitry specifically designed for the protection of its internal devices from the damaging effects of excessive

static charge. Nonetheless, it is suggested that conventional precautions be taken to avoid applying greater than the rated

maximum.

b) Parameters are valid over operating temperature range unless otherwise specified. All voltages are with respect to VSSIO/VSSCORE

unless otherwise noted.

[2] Including voltage on outputs in 3-state mode.

[3] Not to exceed 4.6 V.

[4] The peak current is limited to 25 times the corresponding maximum current.

[5] The maximum non-operating storage temperature is different than the temperature for required shelf life which should be determined

based on required shelf lifetime. Please refer to the JEDEC spec (J-STD-033B.1) for further details.

[6] Human body model: equivalent to discharging a 100 pF capacitor through a 1.5 k series resistor.

9. Thermal characteristics

The average chip junction temperature, Tj (C), can be calculated using the following

equation:

(1)

•Tamb = ambient temperature (C),

•Rth(j-a) = the package junction-to-ambient thermal resist ance (C/W)

•PD = sum of internal and I/O power dissipation

The internal power dissipation is the product of IDD and VDD. The I/O power dissipation of

the I/O pins is of ten small and ma ny times can be n egligible. However it can be significant

in some applications.

12. ADC electrical characteristics

[1] Conditions: VSSA =0V, V

DDA =3.3V.

[2] The ADC is monotonic, there are no missing codes.

[3] The differential linearity error (ED) is the difference between the actual step width and the ideal step width. See Figure 19.

[4] The int egral non-linearity (EL(adj)) is the peak difference between the center of the steps of the actual and the ideal transfer curve after

appropriate adjustment of gain and offset errors. See Figure 19.

[5] The offset error (EO) is the absolute difference between the straight line which fits the actual curve and the straight line which fits the

ideal curve. See Figure 19.

[6] The gain error (EG) is the relative difference in percent between the straight line fitting the actual transfer curve after removing offset

error, and the straight line which fits the ideal transfer curve. See Figure 19.

[7] The absolute error (ET) is the maximum difference between the center of the steps of the actual transfer curve of the non-calibrated

ADC and the ideal transfer curve. See Figure 19.

[8] See Figure 20.

14.3 Crystal oscillator XTAL input and component selection

The input voltage to the on-chip oscillators is limited to 1.8 V. If the oscillator is driven by a

clock in slave mode, it is recommende d that the inpu t be coupled throug h a cap acitor with

Ci = 100 pF. To limit the input voltage to the specified range, choose an additional

capacitor to ground Cg which attenuates the input voltage by a factor Ci / (Ci + Cg). In

slave mode, a minimum of 200 mV (RMS) is needed.

In slave mode the input clock signal should be coup led by means of a cap acitor of 100 pF

(Figure 29), with an amplitude between 200 mV (RMS) and 1000 mV (RMS). This

corresponds to a square wave signal with a signal swing of between 280 mV and 1.4 V.

The XTAL2 pin in this configuration can be left unconnected.

External components and models used in oscillation mode are shown in Figure 30 and in

Table 19 and Table 20. Since the feedback resistance is integrated on chip, only a crystal

and the capacitances CX1 and CX2 need to be connected externally in case of

fundamental mode oscillation (the fundamental frequency is represented by L, CL and

RS). Capacitance CP in Figure 30 represent s the p arallel p ackage cap acitance and sho uld

not be larger than 7 pF. Parameters FOSC, CL, RS and CP are supplied by the crystal

manufacturer.

14.4 RTC 32 kHz oscillator component selection

The RTC external oscillator circuit is shown in Figure 31. Sinc e the feedback resist ance is

integrated on chip, only a crystal, the capacitances CX1 and CX2 need to be connected

externally to the microcontroller.

Table 21 gives the crystal parameters that should be used. CL is the typical load

capacitance of the crystal and is usually specified by the crystal manufacturer. The actual

CL influences oscillation frequency. When using a crystal that is manufactured for a

different load capacitance, the circuit will oscillate at a slightly different frequency

(depending on the quality of the crystal) compared to the specified one. Therefore for an

accurate time reference it is advise d to us e the loa d capacito rs as spec ifie d in Table 21

that belong to a specific CL. The value of external capacitances CX1 and CX2 specified in

this table are calculated from the inte rnal parasitic ca pacitances and the CL. Parasitics

from PCB and package are not taken into account.

14.5 XTAL and RTCX Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout guidelines

The crystal should be connected on the PCB as close as possible to the oscillator input

and output pins of the chip. Take care that the load cap acitors Cx1, Cx2, and Cx3 in case of

third overtone crystal usage have a common ground plane. The external components

must also be connected to the ground plain. Loops must be made as small as possible in

order to keep the no ise couple d in via th e PCB as sm all as po ss ible . A lso parasitic s

should stay as small as possible. Values of Cx1 and Cx2 should be chosen smaller

accordingly to the increase in parasitics of the PCB layout.

14.6 Standard I/O pin configuration

Figure 32 shows the possible pin modes for standard I/O pins with analog input function:

•Digital output driver

•Digital input: Pull-up enabled/disabled

•Digital input: Pull-down enabled/disabled

•Analog input (for ADC input channels)

The default configuration for standard I/O pins is input with pull-up enabled. The weak

MOS devices provide a drive capability equivalent to pull-up and pull-down resistors.
