Rev. 5 12 August 2011 Product data sheet
1. General description
The LPC2141/42/44/46/48 microcontrollers are based on a 16-bit/32-bit ARM7TDMI-S
CPU with real-time emulation and embedded trace support, that combine the
microcontroller with embedded high-speed flash memory ranging from 32 kB to 512 kB. A
128-bit wide memory interface and a unique accelerator architecture enable 32-bit code
execution at the maximum clock rate. For critical code size applications, the alternative
16-bit Thumb mode reduces code by more than 30 % with minimal performance penalty.
Due to their tiny size and low power consumption, LPC2141/42/44/46/48 are ideal for
applications where miniaturization is a key requirement, such as access control and
point-of-sale. Serial communications interfaces ranging from a USB 2.0 Full-speed
device, multiple UARTs, SPI, SSP to I2C-bus and on-chip SRAM of 8 kB up to 40 kB,
make these devices very well suited for communication gateways and protocol
converters, soft modems, voice recognition and low end imaging, providing both large
buffer size and high processing power. Various 32-bit timers, single or dual 10-bit ADC(s),
10-bit DAC, PWM channels and 45 fast GPIO lines with up to nine edge or level sensitive
external interrupt pins make these microcontrollers suitable for industrial control and
medical systems.

6. Functional description
6.1 Architectural overview

The ARM7TDMI-S 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, 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 processor
core.
Pipeline techniques are employed so that all parts of the processing and memory 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 set.
The Thumb sets 16-bit instruction length allows it to approach twice the density of
standard ARM code while retaining most of the ARMs performance advantage over a
traditional 16-bit processor using 16-bit registers. This is possible because Thumb code
operates on the same 32-bit register set as ARM code.
Thumb code is able to provide up to 65 % of the code size of ARM, and 160 % of the
performance of an equivalent ARM processor connected to a 16-bit memory system.
The particular flash implementation in the LPC2141/42/44/46/48 allows for full speed
execution also in ARM mode. It is recommended to program performance critical and
short code sections (such as interrupt service routines and DSP algorithms) in ARM
mode. The impact on the overall code size will be minimal but the speed can be increased
by 30 % over Thumb mode.
6.2 On-chip flash program memory

The LPC2141/42/44/46/48 incorporate a 32 kB, 64 kB, 128 kB, 256 kB and 512 kB flash
memory system respectively. This memory may be used for both code and data storage.
Programming of the flash memory may be accomplished in several ways. It may be
programmed In System via the serial port. The application program may also erase and/or
program the flash while the application is running, allowing a great degree of flexibility for
data storage field firmware upgrades, etc. Due to the architectural solution chosen for an
on-chip boot loader, flash memory available for users code on LPC2141/42/44/46/48 is
32 kB, 64 kB, 128 kB, 256 kB and 500 kB respectively.
The LPC2141/42/44/46/48 flash memory provides a minimum of 100000 erase/write

cycles and 20 years of data-retention.

6.3 On-chip static RAM

On-chip static RAM may be used for code and/or data storage. The SRAM may be
accessed as 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit. The LPC2141, LPC2142/44 and LPC2146/48
provide 8 kB, 16 kB and 32 kB of static RAM respectively.
In case of LPC2146/48 only, an 8 kB SRAM block intended to be utilized mainly by the

USB can also be used as a general purpose RAM for data storage and code storage and
execution.
6.4 Memory map

The LPC2141/42/44/46/48 memory map incorporates several distinct regions, as shown
in Figure 5.
In addition, the CPU interrupt vectors may be remapped to allow them to reside in either
flash memory (the default) or on-chip static RAM. This is described in Section 6.19
System control.

6.5 Interrupt controller

The Vectored Interrupt Controller (VIC) accepts all of the interrupt request inputs and
categorizes them as Fast Interrupt reQuest (FIQ), vectored Interrupt ReQuest (IRQ), and
non-vectored IRQ as defined by programmable settings. The programmable assignment
scheme means that priorities of interrupts from the various peripherals can be dynamically
assigned and adjusted.
FIQ has the highest priority. If more than one request is assigned to FIQ, the VIC
combines 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 does not need to branch into the interrupt service routine but can
run from the interrupt vector location. If more than one request is assigned to the FIQ
class, the FIQ service routine will read a word from the VIC that identifies which FIQ
source(s) is (are) requesting an interrupt.
Vectored IRQs have the middle priority. Sixteen of the interrupt requests can be assigned
to this category. Any of the interrupt requests can be assigned to any of the 16 vectored
IRQ slots, among which slot 0 has the highest priority and slot 15 has the lowest.
Non-vectored IRQs have the lowest priority.
The VIC combines the requests from all the vectored and non-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 there. If any of the vectored IRQs are pending, the VIC
provides the address of the highest-priority requesting IRQs service routine, otherwise it
provides the address of a default routine that is shared by all the non-vectored IRQs. The
default routine can read another VIC register to see what IRQs are active.
6.5.1 Interrupt sources

Each peripheral device has one interrupt line connected to the Vectored Interrupt
Controller, but may have several internal interrupt flags. Individual interrupt flags may also
represent more than one interrupt source.
6.6 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 connected to the appropriate pins
prior to being activated, and prior to any related interrupt(s) being enabled. Activity of any
enabled peripheral function that is not mapped to a related pin should be considered
undefined.
The Pin Control Module with its pin select registers defines the functionality of the
microcontroller in a given hardware environment.
After reset all pins of Port 0 and Port 1 are configured as input with the following
exceptions: If debug is enabled, the JTAG pins will assume their JTAG functionality; if
trace is enabled, the Trace pins will assume their trace functionality. The pins associated
with the I2C0 and I2C1 interface are open drain.

6.7 Fast general purpose parallel I/O (GPIO)

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 number of outputs simultaneously. The value of the
output register may be read back, as well as the current state of the port pins.
LPC2141/42/44/46/48 introduce accelerated GPIO functions over prior LPC2000 devices:
GPIO registers are relocated to the ARM local bus for the fastest possible I/O timing.
Mask registers allow treating sets of port bits as a group, leaving other bits
unchanged.
All GPIO registers are byte addressable.
Entire port value can be written in one instruction.
6.7.1 Features
Bit-level set and clear registers allow a single instruction set or clear of any number of
bits in one port.
Direction control of individual bits.
Separate control of output set and clear.
All I/O default to inputs after reset.
6.8 10-bit ADC

The LPC2141/42 contain one and the LPC2144/46/48 contain two analog to digital
converters. These converters are single 10-bit successive approximation analog to digital
converters. While ADC0 has six channels, ADC1 has eight channels. Therefore, total
number of available ADC inputs for LPC2141/42 is 6 and for LPC2144/46/48 is 14.

Global Start command for both converters (LPC2142/44/46/48 only).
6.9 10-bit DAC

The DAC enables the LPC2141/42/44/46/48 to generate a variable analog output. The
maximum DAC output voltage is the VREF voltage.
6.9.1 Features
10-bit DAC.
Buffered output.
Power-down mode available.

Selectable speed versus power.
6.10 USB 2.0 device controller

The USB is a 4-wire serial bus that supports communication between a host and a
number (127 max) of peripherals. The host controller allocates the USB bandwidth to
attached devices through a token based protocol. The bus supports hot plugging,
unplugging, and dynamic configuration of the devices. All transactions are initiated by the
host controller.
The LPC2141/42/44/46/48 is equipped with a USB device controller that enables

12 Mbit/s data exchange with a USB host controller. It consists of a register interface,
serial interface engine, endpoint buffer memory and DMA controller. The serial interface
engine decodes the USB data stream and writes data to the appropriate end point buffer
memory. The status of a completed USB transfer or error condition is indicated via status
registers. An interrupt is also generated if enabled.
A DMA controller (available in LPC2146/48 only) can transfer data between an endpoint
buffer and the USB RAM.

6.11 UARTs
The LPC2141/42/44/46/48 each contain two UARTs. In addition to standard transmit and
receive data lines, the LPC2144/46/48 UART1 also provides a full modem control
handshake interface.
Compared to previous LPC2000 microcontrollers, UARTs in LPC2141/42/44/46/48

introduce a fractional baud rate generator for both UARTs, enabling these microcontrollers
to achieve standard baud rates such as 115200 with any crystal frequency above 2 MHz.
In addition, auto-CTS/RTS flow-control functions are fully implemented in hardware
(UART1 in LPC2144/46/48 only).

control on both UARTs.
LPC2144/46/48 UART1 equipped with standard modem interface signals. This
module also provides full support for hardware flow control (auto-CTS/RTS).
6.12 I2C-bus serial I/O controller

The LPC2141/42/44/46/48 each contain two 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). Each device is recognized by a unique address and
can operate as either a receiver-only device (e.g., an LCD driver or a transmitter with the
capability to both receive and send information (such as memory)). Transmitters and/or
receivers can operate in either master or slave mode, depending on whether the chip has
to initiate a data transfer or is only addressed. The I2C-bus is a multi-master bus, it can be
controlled by more than one bus master connected to it.
The I2C-bus implemented in LPC2141/42/44/46/48 supports bit rates up to 400 kbit/s

(Fast I2C-bus).
6.12.1 Features
Compliant with standard I2C-bus interface.
Easy to configure as master, slave, or master/slave.
Programmable clocks allow versatile rate control.
Bidirectional data transfer between masters and slaves.
Multi-master bus (no central master).
Arbitration between simultaneously transmitting masters without corruption of serial
data on the bus.
Serial clock synchronization allows devices with different bit rates to communicate via
one serial bus.
Serial clock synchronization can be used as a handshake mechanism to suspend and
resume serial transfer.
The I2C-bus can be used for test and diagnostic purposes.
6.13 SPI serial I/O controller

The LPC2141/42/44/46/48 each contain one SPI controller. The SPI is a full duplex serial
interface, designed to handle multiple masters and slaves connected to a given bus. Only
a single master and a single slave can communicate on the interface during a given data
transfer. During a data transfer the master always sends a byte of data to the slave, and
the slave always sends a byte of data to the master.

6.13.1 Features
Compliant with SPI specification.
Synchronous, Serial, Full Duplex, Communication.
Combined SPI master and slave.
Maximum data bit rate of one eighth of the input clock rate.
6.14 SSP serial I/O controller

The LPC2141/42/44/46/48 each contain one Serial Synchronous Port controller (SSP).
The SSP controller is capable of operation on a SPI, 4-wire SSI, or Microwire bus. It can
interact with multiple masters and slaves on the bus. However, 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 data frames of 4 bits to 16 bits of data flowing from the master to
the slave and from the slave to the master. Often only one of these data flows carries
meaningful data.
6.14.1 Features
Compatible with Motorolas SPI, TIs 4-wire SSI and National Semiconductors
Microwire buses.
Synchronous serial communication.
Master or slave operation.
8-frame FIFOs for both transmit and receive.
Four bits to 16 bits per frame.
6.15 General purpose timers/external event counters

The Timer/Counter is designed to count cycles of the peripheral clock (PCLK) or an
externally supplied clock and optionally generate interrupts or perform other actions at
specified timer values, based on four match registers. It also includes four capture inputs
to trap the timer value when an input signal transitions, optionally generating an interrupt.
Multiple pins can be selected to perform a single capture or match function, providing an
application with or and and, as well as broadcast functions among them.
The LPC2141/42/44/46/48 can count external events on one of the capture inputs if the
minimum external pulse is equal or longer than a period of the PCLK. In this configuration,
unused capture lines can be selected as regular timer capture inputs, or used as external
interrupts.
6.15.1 Features
A 32-bit timer/counter with a programmable 32-bit prescaler.
External event counter or timer operation.
Four 32-bit capture channels per timer/counter 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 match registers that 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.
Four external outputs per timer/counter corresponding to match registers, with the
following capabilities:
Set LOW on match.
Set HIGH on match.
Toggle on match.
Do nothing on match.
6.16 Watchdog timer

The purpose of the watchdog is to reset the microcontroller 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.
6.16.1 Features
Internally resets chip if not periodically reloaded.
Debug mode.
Enabled by software but requires a hardware 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 pre-scaler.
Selectable time period from (Tcy(PCLK) 256 4) to (Tcy(PCLK) 232 4) in multiples of
Tcy(PCLK) 4.
6.17 Real-time clock

The RTC is designed to provide a set of counters to measure time when normal or idle
operating mode is selected. The RTC has been designed to use little power, making it
suitable for battery powered systems where the CPU is not running continuously (Idle
mode).
6.17.1 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.
Can use either the RTC dedicated 32 kHz oscillator input or clock derived from the
external crystal/oscillator input at XTAL1. Programmable reference clock divider
allows fine adjustment of the RTC.
Dedicated power supply pin can be connected to a battery or the main 3.3 V.

6.18 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 LPC2141/42/44/46/48. The timer is designed
to count cycles of the peripheral clock (PCLK) and optionally generate interrupts or
perform other actions when specified timer values occur, based on seven match registers.
The PWM function is also 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 requires
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. One
match register (MR0) controls the PWM cycle rate, by resetting the count upon match.
The other match register controls the PWM edge position. Additional single edge
controlled PWM outputs require only one match register each, since the repetition rate is
the same for all PWM outputs. Multiple single edge controlled PWM outputs will all have a
rising edge at the beginning of each PWM cycle, when an MR0 match occurs.
Three match registers can be used to provide a PWM output with both edges controlled.
Again, the MR0 match register controls the PWM cycle rate. The other match registers
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).
6.18.1 Features
Seven match registers allow up to six single edge controlled or three 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. Double edge controlled PWM outputs can have either edge
occur at any position within a cycle. This allows for both positive going and negative
going pulses.
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 generation of
erroneous pulses. Software must release new match values before they can 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.
6.19 System control
6.19.1 Crystal oscillator

On-chip integrated oscillator operates with external crystal in range of 1 MHz to 25 MHz.
The oscillator output frequency is called fosc and the ARM processor clock frequency is
referred to as CCLK for purposes of rate equations, etc. fosc and CCLK are the same
value unless the PLL is running and connected. Refer to Section 6.19.2 PLL for
additional information.
6.19.2 PLL
The PLL accepts an input clock frequency in the range of 10 MHz to 25 MHz. The input
frequency is multiplied up into the range of 10 MHz to 60 MHz with a Current Controlled
Oscillator (CCO). The multiplier can be an integer value from 1 to 32 (in practice, the
multiplier value cannot be higher than 6 on this family of microcontrollers due to the upper
frequency limit of the CPU). The CCO operates in the range of 156 MHz to 320 MHz, so
there is an additional divider in the loop to keep the CCO within its frequency range while
the PLL is providing the desired output frequency. The output divider may be set to divide
by 2, 4, 8, or 16 to produce the output clock. Since the minimum output divider value is 2,
it is insured that the PLL output has a 50 % duty cycle. The PLL is turned off and
bypassed following a chip reset and may be enabled by software. The program must
configure and activate the PLL, wait for the PLL to Lock, then connect to the PLL as a
clock source. The PLL settling time is 100 s.
6.19.3 Reset and wake-up timer

Reset has two sources on the LPC2141/42/44/46/48: the RESET pin and watchdog reset.
The RESET pin is a Schmitt trigger input pin with an additional glitch filter. Assertion of
chip reset by any source starts the Wake-up Timer (see Wake-up Timer description
below), causing the internal chip reset to remain asserted until the external reset is
de-asserted, the oscillator is running, a fixed number of clocks have passed, and the
on-chip flash controller has completed its initialization.
When the internal reset is removed, the processor begins executing at address 0, which is
the reset vector. At that point, all of the processor and peripheral registers have been
initialized to predetermined values.
The Wake-up Timer ensures that the oscillator and other analog functions required for
chip operation are fully functional before the processor is allowed 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 the oscillator and other functions are turned
off during Power-down mode, any wake-up of the processor from Power-down mode
makes use of the Wake-up Timer.

The Wake-up Timer monitors the crystal oscillator as the means of checking whether it is
safe to begin code execution. When power is applied to the chip, or some event caused
the chip to exit Power-down mode, some time is required for the oscillator to produce a
signal of sufficient amplitude to drive the clock logic. The amount of time depends on
many factors, including the rate of VDD ramp (in the case of power on), the type of crystal
and its electrical characteristics (if a quartz 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.
6.19.4 Brownout detector

The LPC2141/42/44/46/48 include 2-stage monitoring of the voltage on the VDD pins. If
this voltage falls below 2.9 V, the BOD asserts an interrupt signal to the VIC. This signal
can be enabled for interrupt; if not, software can monitor the signal by reading dedicated
register.
The second stage of low voltage detection asserts reset to inactivate the
LPC2141/42/44/46/48 when the voltage on the VDD pins falls below 2.6 V. This reset
prevents alteration of the flash as operation of the various elements of the chip would
otherwise become unreliable due to low voltage. The BOD circuit maintains this reset
down below 1 V, at which point the POR circuitry maintains the overall reset.
Both the 2.9 V and 2.6 V thresholds include some hysteresis. In normal operation, this
hysteresis allows the 2.9 V detection to reliably interrupt, or a regularly-executed event
loop to sense the condition.
6.19.5 Code security

This feature of the LPC2141/42/44/46/48 allow an application to control whether it can be
debugged or protected from observation.
If after reset on-chip boot loader detects a valid checksum in flash and reads 0x8765 4321
from address 0x1FC in flash, debugging will be disabled and thus the code in flash will be
protected from observation. Once debugging is disabled, it can be enabled only by
performing a full chip erase using the ISP.
6.19.6 External interrupt inputs

The LPC2141/42/44/46/48 include up to nine edge or level sensitive External Interrupt
Inputs as selectable pin functions. When the pins are combined, external events can be
processed as four independent interrupt signals. The External Interrupt Inputs can
optionally be used to wake-up the processor from Power-down mode.
Additionally capture input pins can also be used as external interrupts without the option
to wake the device up from Power-down mode.
6.19.7 Memory mapping control

The Memory Mapping Control alters the mapping of the interrupt vectors that appear
beginning at address 0x0000 0000. Vectors may be mapped to the bottom of the on-chip
flash memory, or to the on-chip static RAM. This allows code running in different memory
spaces to have control of the interrupts.

6.19.8 Power control

The LPC2141/42/44/46/48 supports two reduced power modes: Idle mode and
Power-down 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 power used by the
processor itself, memory systems and related controllers, and internal buses.
In Power-down mode, the oscillator is shut down and the chip receives no internal clocks.
The processor state and registers, peripheral registers, and internal SRAM values are
preserved throughout Power-down mode and the logic levels of chip output pins remain
static. The Power-down 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, Power-down mode reduces chip power
consumption to nearly zero.
Selecting an external 32 kHz clock instead of the PCLK as a clock-source for the on-chip
RTC will enable the microcontroller to have the RTC active during Power-down mode.
Power-down current is increased with RTC active. However, it is significantly lower than in
Idle mode.
A Power Control for Peripherals feature allows individual peripherals to be turned off if
they are not needed in the application, resulting in additional power savings during active
and Idle mode.
6.19.9 APB bus

The APB divider determines the relationship between the processor clock (CCLK) and the
clock used by peripheral devices (PCLK). The APB divider serves two purposes. The first
is to provide peripherals with the desired PCLK via APB bus so that they can operate at
the speed chosen for the ARM processor. In order to achieve this, the APB bus may be
slowed down to 12 to 14 of the processor clock rate. Because the APB bus must work
properly at power-up (and its timing cannot be altered if it does not work since the APB
divider control registers reside on the APB bus), the default condition at reset is for the
APB bus to run at 14 of the processor clock rate. The second purpose of the APB divider
is to allow power savings when an application does not require any peripherals to run at
the full processor rate. Because the APB divider is connected to the PLL output, the PLL
remains active (if it was running) during Idle mode.
6.20 Emulation and debugging

The LPC2141/42/44/46/48 support emulation and debugging via a JTAG serial port. A
trace port allows tracing program execution. Debugging and trace functions are
multiplexed only with GPIOs on Port 1. This means that all communication, timer and
interface peripherals residing on Port 0 are available during the development and
debugging phase as they are when the application is run in the embedded system itself.
6.20.1 EmbeddedICE
Standard ARM 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. EmbeddedICE protocol convertor converts the remote
debug protocol commands to the JTAG data needed to access the ARM core.

The ARM core has a Debug Communication Channel (DCC) function built-in. The DCC
allows a program running on the target to communicate 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 co-processor 14 by the program running on the ARM7TDMI-S
core. The DCC allows the JTAG port to be used for sending and receiving data without
affecting the normal program flow. The DCC data and control registers are mapped in to
addresses in the EmbeddedICE logic.
This clock must be slower than 16 of the CPU clock (CCLK) for the JTAG interface to
operate.
6.20.2 Embedded trace

Since the LPC2141/42/44/46/48 have significant amounts of on-chip memory, it is not
possible to determine how the processor core is operating simply by observing the
external pins. The Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM) provides real-time trace capability
for deeply embedded processor cores. It outputs information about processor execution to
the trace port.
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 must capture the trace information under software debugger control.
Instruction trace (or PC trace) shows the flow of execution of the processor and provides a
list of all the instructions that were executed. Instruction trace is significantly compressed
by only broadcasting branch addresses as well as a set of status signals that indicate the
pipeline status 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.
6.20.3 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 foreground application. It communicates with the host using the DCC, which is
present in the EmbeddedICE logic. The LPC2141/42/44/46/48 contain a specific
configuration of RealMonitor software programmed into the on-chip flash memory.

12.2 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 recommended that the input be coupled through a capacitor 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.

XTAL1
Ci Cg
100 pF
002aae718
Fig 12. Slave mode operation of the on-chip oscillator
In slave mode the input clock signal should be coupled by means of a capacitor of 100 pF
(Figure 12), 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 13 and in
Table 10 and Table 11. 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 13 represents the parallel package capacitance and should
not be larger than 7 pF. Parameters FOSC, CL, RS and CP are supplied by the crystal
manufacturer.

Fig 14. RTC oscillator modes and models: oscillation mode of operation and external
crystal model used for CX1/CX2 evaluation
The RTC external oscillator circuit is shown in Figure 14. Since the feedback resistance is
integrated on chip, only a crystal, the capacitances CX1 and CX2 need to be connected
externally to the microcontroller.
Table 12 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 advised to use the load capacitors as specified in Table 12

that belong to a specific CL. The value of external capacitances CX1 and CX2 specified in
this table are calculated from the internal parasitic capacitances and the CL. Parasitics
from PCB and package are not taken into account.

12.4 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 capacitors 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 plane. Loops must be made as small as possible in
order to keep the noise coupled in via the PCB as small as possible. Also parasitics
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.
