controller. This interconnect provides communication with no arbitration delays
unless two masters attempt to access the same slave at the same time.
Split APB bus allows for higher throughput with fewer stalls between the CPU and
DMA. A single level of write buffering allows the CPU to continue without waiting for
completion of APB writes if the APB was not already busy.
Cortex-M3 system tick timer, including an external clock input option.
Standard JTAG test/debug interface as well as Serial Wire Debug and Serial
WireTrace Port options.
Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM) module supports real-time trace.

Tr ansistors (TFT) displays.
Dedicated DMA control ler.
Selectable display resolution (up to 1024 768 pixels).
Supports up to 24-bit true-color mode.
External Memory Controller (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 with an SDRAM clock of up to 80 MHz.
Eight channel General Purpose DMA controller (GPDMA) on the AHB multila yer
matrix that can be used with the SSP, I2S, UART, CRC engine, Analog-to-Digital and
Digital-to-Analog converter peripherals, timer match signals, GPIO, and for
memory-to-memory transfers.
Serial interfaces:
Ethernet MAC with MII/RMII interface and associated DMA controller. These
functions reside on an independent AHB.
USB 2.0 full-speed dual-port device/host/OTG controller with on-chip PHY and
associated DMA controller.

Three enhanced I2C-bus interfaces, one with a true open-drain output supporting
the full I2C-bus specification and Fast-mode Plus with data rates of 1 Mbit/s, two
with standard port pins. Enhancements include multiple address recognition and
monitor mode.
I2S-bus (Inter-IC Sound) interface for digital audio input or output. It can be used
with the GPDMA.
CAN controller with two channels.
Digital peripherals:
SD/MMC memory card interface.
Up to 165 General Purpose I/O (GPIO) pins depending on the packaging with
configurable pull-up/down resistors, open-drain mode, and repeater mode. All
GPIOs are located on an AHB bus for fast access and support Cortex-M3
bit-banding. GPIOs can be accessed by the General Purpos e DMA Controller. Any
pin of ports 0 and 2 can be used to generate an interrupt.
Two external interrupt input s configura ble as edge/level se nsitive. All pins on p ort 0
and port 2 can be used as edge sensitive interrupt sources.
Four general purpose timers/counters with a total of eight captur e inputs and ten
compare outputs. Each time r block has an external count input. Specific timer
events can be selected to generate DMA requ ests.
Quadrature encoder interface that can monitor one external quad rature encoder.
Two standard PWM/timer blocks with external count input option.
One motor control PWM with support for three-phase motor control.
Real-Time Clock (RTC) with a separate power domain. The RTC is clocked by a
dedicated RTC oscillator. The RTC block includes 20 bytes of battery-powered
backup registers, allowing system status to be stored when the rest of the chip is
powered of f. Battery power can be supplied from a sta ndard 3 V lithium bu tton cell.
The RTC will continue working when the battery voltage drops to as low as 2.1 V.
An RTC interrupt can wake up the CPU from any reduced power mode.
Event Recorder that can capture the clock value when an event occurs on any of
three inputs. The event identification and the time it occurred are stored in
registers. The Event Recorder is located in the RTC power domain and can
therefore operate as long as there is RTC power.
Windowed Watchdog Timer (WWDT). Windowed operation, dedicated internal
oscillator, watchdog warning interrupt, and safety features.
CRC Engine block can calculate a CRC on supplied data using one of three
standard polynomials. The CRC engine can be used in conjunction with the DMA
controller to generate a CRC without CPU involvement in the data transfer.
Analog peripherals:
12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with input multiplexing among eight pins,
conversion rates up to 400 kHz, and multiple result registers. The 12-bit ADC can
be used with the GPDMA controller.
10-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) with dedicated conversion timer and
GPDMA support.

7. Functional description
7.1 Architectural overview
The ARM Cortex-M3 includes three AHB-Lite buses: the system bus, the I-code bus, and
the D-code bus. The I-code and D-code core buses are faster than the system bus and
are used similarly to Tightly Coupled Memory (TCM) interfaces: one bus dedicated for
instruction fetch (I-code) and one bus for data access (D-code). The use of two core
buses allows for simult aneous operations if concurrent operation s target dif ferent devices.

NXP Semiconductors LPC178x/7x
32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
The LPC178x/7x use a multi-layer AHB matrix to connect the ARM Cortex-M3 buses and
other bus mast er s to pe rip her als in a fle xible ma nn e r tha t op tim ize s pe rform a nce by
allowing peripherals that are on different slaves ports of the matrix to be accessed
simultaneously by different bus masters.
7.2 ARM Cortex-M3 processor
The ARM Cortex-M3 is a general purpose, 32-bit microprocessor, which offers high
performance and very low power consumption. The ARM Cortex-M3 offers many new
features, including a Thumb-2 instruction set, low interrupt latency, hardware division,
hardware single-cycle multiply, interruptable/continuable multiple load and store
instructions, automatic state save and restore for interrupts, tightly integrated interrupt
controller with wake-up interrupt controller, and multiple core buses capable of
simultaneous accesses.
Pipeline techniques are em ployed so that all p arts of the processing and memory system s
can operate continuously. Typically, while one instruction is bein g executed, its successor
is being decoded, and a thir d instruction is being fetched from memory.
The ARM Cortex-M3 processor is described in detail in the Cortex-M3 Technical
Reference Manual that can be found on official ARM website.
7.3 On-chip flash program memory
The LPC178x/7x contain up to 512 kB of on-chip flash program memory. A new two-port
flash accelerator maximizes performance for use with the two fast AHB-Lite buses.
7.4 EEPROM
The LPC178x/7x contains up to 4032 byte of on-chip byte-erasab le and
byte-progr a mm a ble EEPROM da ta memory.
7.5 On-chip SRAM
The LPC178x/7x contain a total of up to 96 kB on-chip st atic RAM data memory. This
includes the main 64 kB SRAM, accessible by the CPU and DMA controller on a
higher-speed bus, and up to two additional 16 kB each SRAM blocks situated on a
separate slave port on the AHB multilayer matrix.
This architecture allows CPU and DMA accesses to be spr ead over three sep arate RAMs
that can be accessed simultaneously.
7.6 Memory Protection Unit (MPU)
The LPC178x/7x have a Memory Protection Unit (MPU) which can be used to improve the
reliability of an embedded system by protecting critical data within the user application.
The MPU allows separating processing tasks by disallowing access to each other's data,
disabling access to memory r egio ns, allowing me mor y regi ons to be de fined as re ad -onl y
and detecting unexpected memory accesses that could potentially break the system.

Product data sheet Rev. 5.5 — 26 April 2016 42 of 126
NXP Semiconductors LPC178x/7x
32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
The MPU separates the memory into distinct regions and implements protection by
preventing disallowed accesses. The MPU support s up to eight r egions each of which can
be divided into eight subregions. Accesses to memory locations that are not defined in the
MPU regions, or not permitted by the region setting, will cause the Memory Management
Fault exception to take place.
7.7 Memory map
The LPC178x/7x incorporate several distinct memory regions, shown in the following
figures. Figure 6 shows the overall map of the entire address space from the user
program viewpoint following reset. The interrupt vector area supports address remapping.
The AHB peripheral ar ea is 2 MB in size, and is divided to allow for up to 128 periph erals.
The APB peripheral area is 1 MB in size and is divided to allow for up to 64 peripherals.
Each peripheral of either type is allocated 16 kB of space. This allows simplifying the
address decoding for each peripheral.

7.22 I2C-bus serial I/O controllers
The LPC178x/7x contain 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). Each device is recognized by a unique address and
can operate as either a r eceiver-only de vice ( 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 whe ther th e chip ha s

controlled by more than one bus master connected to it.
7.22.1 Features
All I2C-bus controllers can use stan dard GPIO pins with bit rates of up to 400 kbit/s
(Fast I2C-bus). The I2C0-bus interface uses special open-drain pins with bit rates of

7.23 I2S-bus serial I/O controllers
The LPC178x/7x contain one I2S-bus interface. The I2S-bus provides a standard
communication interface for digital audio applications.
The I2S-bus specificatio n defines a 3-wire serial bus using one da ta 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 LPC178x/7x provides a separate transmit
and receive channel, each of which can operate as either a master or a slave.
7.23.1 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 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 optio ns separately for I2S input and I2S output.
7.24 CAN controller and acceptance filters
The LPC178x/7x contain one CAN controller with two ch annels.
The Controller Area Network (C AN) 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 ga teway, 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. Th e main operationa l dif ference 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.
7.24.1 Features
Two CAN controllers and buses.
Data rates to 1 Mbit/s on each bus.
32-bit register and RAM access.
Compatible with CAN specification 2.0B, ISO 11898-1.

Global Acceptance Filter recognizes 11-bit and 29-bit receive identifiers for all CAN
buses.
Acceptance Filter can provide FullC AN-style automatic reception for selected
Standard Identifiers.
FullCAN messages can generate interrupts.
7.25 General purpose 32-bit timers/external event counters
The LPC178x/7x include 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 interrupts, generate timed DMA
requests, or perform other actions at specified timer values, based on four match
registers. Each timer/counter also includes two capture input s to trap the timer value when
an input signal transitio ns, optionally generating an interrupt.
7.25.1 Features
A 32-bit timer/counter with a progra mmable 32-bit prescaler.
Counter or time r op er a tion .
Two 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 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 inter rupt 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.
Do nothing on match.
Up to two match registers can be used to generate timed DMA requests.
7.26 Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)
The LPC178x/7x contain two standard PWMs.
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 LPC178x/7x. The Timer is designed to count
cycles of the system derived clock and optionally switch pins, generate interrupts 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 requires
three non-overlapping PWM outputs with individual control of all three pulse widths and
positions.

Product data sheet Rev. 5.5 — 26 April 2016 57 of 126
NXP Semiconductors LPC178x/7x
32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
Two match registers can be used to provide a single edge controlled PWM output. One
match register (PWMMR0) 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 ou tp u ts require on ly 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 edge s co ntr o lled .
Again, the PWMMR0 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).
7.26.1 Features
LPC178x/7x has two PWM blocks with Counter or Timer operation (may use the
peripheral clock or one of the capture inputs 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 inter rupt 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 preven t ge ne ra tio n of
erroneous pulses. Sof tware must ‘release’ new ma tch values before they can b ecome
effective.
May be used as a stand ard 32-bit timer /counter with a programma ble 32-bit p rescaler
if the PWM mode is not enabled.
7.27 Motor control PWM
The LPC178x/7x contain one motor control PWM.
The motor control PWM is a specialized PWM supporting 3-phase motors and other
combinations. Feedback input s are provided to automatically sense rotor position and use
that information to ramp sp eed up or down. An abort input is also provided that causes the

32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
PWM to immediately release all motor drive outputs. At the same time, the motor control
PWM is highly configurable for other generalized timing, counting, capture, and compare
applications.
The maximum PWM speed is determined by the PWM resolution (n) and the operating
frequency f: PWM speed = f/2n (see Table 8).
7.28 Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI)
Remark: The QEI is available on parts LPC1788/87/86 and LPC1778/77/76
A quadrature encoder, also known as a 2-channel incremental encoder, converts angular
displacement into two pulse signals. By monitoring both the number of pulses and the
relative phase of the two sign als, th e use r can track th e position, d ire ction of rotation, and
velocity. In addition, a third channel, or index signal, can be used to reset the position
counter. The quadrature encoder interface decodes the digital pulses from a quadrature
encoder wheel to integrate position over time and determine direction of rotation. In
addition, the QEI can capture the velocity of the encoder wheel.
7.28.1 Features
Tracks encoder position.
Increments/decrements depending on direction.
Programmable for 2 or 4 position counting.
Velocity capture using built-in timer.
Velocity compare function with “less than” interrupt.
Uses 32-bit regis ter s for po sitio n an d ve loc ity.

Can combine index and position interrupts to produce an interrupt for whole and
partial revolution displacement.
Digital filter with programmable delays for encoder input signals.
Can accept decoded signal inputs (clk and direction).
Connected to APB.
7.29 ARM Cortex-M3 system tick timer
The ARM Cortex-M3 includes a system tick timer (SYSTICK) that is intended to generate
a dedicated SYSTICK exception at a 10 ms interval. In the LPC178x/7x, this timer can be
clocked from the internal AHB clock or from a device pin.

7.30 Windowed WatchDog Timer (WWDT)
The purpose of the watchdog is to reset the controller if sof tware fails to periodically
service it within a programmable time window.
7.30.1 Features
Internally resets chip if not periodically reloaded during the programmable time-out
period.
Optional windowed operation re quires reload to occur between a minimum and
maximum time period, both programmable.
Optional warning interrupt can be generated at a programmable time prior to
watchdog time-out.

Flag to indicate watchdog reset.
Programmable 24-bit tim er with internal prescaler.
Selectable time period from (Tcy(WDCLK) 256 4) to (Tcy(WDCLK) 224 4) in
multiples of Tcy(WDCLK) 4.
The Watchdog Clock (WDCLK) source is a dedicated watchdog oscillator, which is
always running if the watchdog timer is enabled.
7.31 RTC and backup registers
The R TC is a set of counte rs for measur ing time when system power is on, and optiona lly
when it is of f. The RTC on the L PC178x/7x is designed to have very low power
consumption. The RTC will typically run from the main chip power supply conserving
battery power while the rest of the de vice is powered up. When operating from a battery,
the RTC will continue working down to 2.1 V. Battery power can be provided from a
standard 3 V lithium button cell.
An ultra-low power 32 kHz oscillator provides a 1 Hz clock to the time counting portion of
the RTC, moving most of the power consumption out of the time counting function.
The R TC includes a calibration mechanism to allow fine-tuning the count rate in a way
that will provide less than 1 second per day error when operated at a const ant voltage and
temperature.
The RTC contains a small set of backup registers (20 bytes) for holding dat a while the
main part of the LPC178x/7x is powered off.
The R TC includes an alarm function that can wake up the LPC178x/7x from all reduced
power modes with a time resolution of 1 s.
7.31.1 Features

The event monitor/recor der allows recording of tampering events in sealed product
enclosures. Sensors report any attempt to open the enclosure, or to tamper with the
device in any other way. The event monitor/recorder stores records of such events when
the device is powered only by the backup battery.

An event is defined as a level change at the digital event inputs.
For each event channel, two timestamps mark the first and the last occurrence of an
event. Each channe l also has a dedicated counter tr acking the total numb er of events.

7.33 Clocking and power control
7.33.1 Crystal oscillators
The LPC178x/7x include four independent oscillators. These are the main oscillator, the
IRC oscillator, the watchdog oscillator, and the RTC oscillator.
Following reset, the LPC178x/7x will operate from the Internal RC oscillator until switched
by software. This allows systems to operate without any external crystal and the boot
loader code to operate at a known frequency.
See Figure 7 for an overview of the LPC178x/7x clock generation.

NXP Semiconductors LPC178x/7x
32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
7.33.1.1 Internal RC oscillator
The IRC may be used as the clock that drives the PLL and subsequently the CPU. The
nominal IRC frequency is 12 MHz. The IRC is trimmed to 1 % accuracy over the entire
voltage and temperature range.
Upon power-up or any chip reset, the LPC178x/7x use the IRC as the clock source.
Software may later switch to one of the other available clock sources.
7.33.1.2 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 also provides the clock source for the alternate PLL1.
The main oscillator operates at frequencies of 1 MHz to 25 MHz. This frequenc y can be
boosted to a highe r fr equen cy, up to the maximum CPU o peratin g freque ncy, by the main
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
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 referr ed to as
PCLK. Refer to Section 7.33.2 for additional information.

7.33.1.3 RTC oscillator
The RTC oscillator provides a 1 Hz clock to the RTC and a 32 kHz clock output that can
be output on the CLKOUT pin in order to allow trimming the RTC oscillator without
interference from a probe.
7.33.1.4 Watchdog oscillator
The W atchdog T imer has a dedicated watchdog oscillator that provides a 500 kHz clock to
the Watchdog Timer. The watchdog oscillator is always running if the Watchdog Timer is
enabled. The Watchdog oscillator clock can be output on the CLKOUT pin in order to
allow observe its frequency.
In order to allow Watchdog Timer oper ation with minimum power consu mption, which can
be important in reduced power modes, the Watchdog oscillator frequency is not tightly
controlled. The Watchdog oscillator frequency will vary over temperature and power
supply within a particular part, and may vary by processing across different parts. This
variation should be taken into acc ou n t whe n dete rm in ing Watchdog reload values.
Within a particular part, temperature and power supply variations can pr oduce up to a
17 % frequency vari ation. Frequency variation be tween devices under the same
operating conditions can be up to 30 %.
7.33.2 Main PLL (PLL0) and Alternate PLL (PLL1)
PLL0 (also called the Main PLL) and PLL1 (also called the Alternate PLL) are functionally
identical but have somewhat different input possibilities and output connections. These
possibilities are shown in Figure 7. The Main PLL can receive its input from either the IRC
or the main oscillator and can potentially be used to provide the clocks to nearly
everything on the device. The Alternate PLL receives its input only from the main oscillator
and is intended to be used as an alternate source of clocking to the USB. The USB has
timing needs that may not always be filled by the Main PLL.
Both PLLs are disabled and powered off on reset. If the Alternate PLL is left disabled, the
USB clock can be supplied by PLL0 if everything is set up to provide 48 MHz to the USB
clock through that route. The source for each clock must be selected via the CLKSEL
registers and can be further reduced by clock dividers as needed.
PLL0 accepts an input clock frequency from either the IRC or the main oscillator. If only
the Main PLL is used, then its output frequency must be an integer multiple of all other
clocks needed in the system. PLL1 takes its input only from the main oscillator, requiring
an external crystal in the range of 10 to 25 MHz. In each PLL, the Current Controlled
Oscillator (CCO) operates in the range of 156 MHz to 320 MHz, so there are additional
dividers to bring the output down to the desired frequencies. The minimum output divider
value is 2, insuring that the output of the PLLs have a 50 % duty cycle.
If the USB is used, the possibilities for the CPU clock and other clocks will be limited by
the requirements that the frequency be precise and very low jitter, and that the PLL0
output must be a multiple of 48 MHz. Even multiples of 48 MHz that are within the
operating range of the PLL are 192 MHz and 288 MHz. Also, only the main oscillator in
conjunction with the PLL can me et the precision and jitter specifications for USB. It is du e
to these limitations that the Alternate PLL is provided.

Product data sheet Rev. 5.5 — 26 April 2016 63 of 126
NXP Semiconductors LPC178x/7x
32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
The alternate PLL accepts an input clock frequency from the main oscillator in the range
of 10 MHz to 25 MHz only. When used as the USB clock, the input fre quency is multiplied
up to a multiple of 48 MHz (192 MHz or 288 MHz as described above).
7.33.3 Wake-up timer
The LPC178x/7x begin operation at power-up and when awakened from Power-down
mode by using the 12 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 activated, the wake-up timer allows sof twa re to ensure
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 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 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 of time depends on many factors, includ ing
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.
7.33.4 Power control
The LPC178x/7x support a variety of power control features. There are four special
modes of processor power reduction: Sleep mode, Deep-sleep mode, Powe r-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, the 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 required for the application. Each of the
peripherals has its own clock divider which provides even better power control.
The integrated PMU (Power Management Unit) automatically adjusts internal regulators
to minimize power consumption during Sleep, Deep-sleep, Power-down, and Deep
power-down modes.
The LPC178x/7x also implement a separate power domain to allow turning off power to
the bulk of the device while maintaining operation of the RTC and a small set of registers
for storing data during any of the power-down modes.
7.33.4.1 Sleep mode
When Sleep mode is entered, the clock to the core is stoppe d. Resumption from the Sleep
mode does not need any special sequence other than re-enabling the clock to the ARM
core.
LPC178X_7X All information provided in this document is subject to legal disclaimers. © NXP Semiconductors N.V. 2016. All rights reserved.
Product data sheet Rev. 5.5 — 26 April 2016 64 of 126
NXP Semiconductors LPC178x/7x
32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
In Sleep mode, execution of instructions is suspended until either a Reset or interrupt
occurs. Peripheral functions continue operation during Sleep mode and may generate
interrupts to cause the processor to resume execution . Sleep mode eliminates dynamic
power used by the processor itself, memory systems and related controllers, and internal
buses.
The DMA controller can conti nue to wo rk in Sleep m ode and ha s access to th e per iphera l
RAMs and all peripheral registers. The flash memory and the main SRAM are not
available in Sleep mode, they are disabled in order to save power.
Wake-up from Sleep mode will occur whenever any enabled interrupt occurs.
7.33.4.2 Deep-sleep mode
In Deep-sleep mode, the oscillator is shut down and the chip receives no internal clocks.
The processor state and registers, peripheral registers, and internal SRAM value s ar e
preserved throughout Deep-sleep mode and the logic levels of chip pins remain static.
The output of the IRC is disabled but the IRC is not power ed down to allow fast wake-up.
The 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 clock divider
registers are automa tically reset to zero.
The Deep-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, Deep-sleep mode reduces chip power
consumptio n to a ve ry low value . Pow er to the flash memory is left on in Deep-sleep
mode, allowing a very quick wake-up.
Wake-up from Deep-sleep mode can initiated by the NMI, External Interrupts EINT0
through EINT3, GPIO interrupts, the Ethernet Wake-on-LAN interrupt, Brownout Detect,
an RTC Alarm interrupt, a USB input pin transition (USB activity interrupt), a CAN input
pin transition, or a Watchdog Timer time-out, when the related interrupt is enabled.
Wake-up will occur whenever any enabled interrupt occurs.
On wake-up from Deep-sleep mode, the code execution and peripherals activities will
resume after four cycles expire if the IRC was used before entering Deep- sleep mode. If
the main external oscillator was used, the code execution will resume when 4096 cycles
expire. PLL and clock dividers need to be reconfigured accordingly.
7.33.4.3 Power-down mode
Power-down mode does everything that Deep-sleep mode does but also turns off th e
power to the IRC oscillator and the flash memory. This saves more power but requires
waiting for resumption of flash operation before execution of code or data access in the
flash memory can be accomplished.
When the chip enters Power-down mode, the IRC, the main oscillator, and all clocks are
stopped. The RTC remains running if it has been enabled and RTC interrupts may be
used to wake up the CPU. The flash is forced into Power-down mode. The PLLs are
automatically turned off and the clock selection multiplexers are set to use the system
clock sysclk (the reset state). The clock divider control registers are automatically reset to
zero. If the Watchdog timer is running, it will continue running in Power-down mode.

NXP Semiconductors LPC178x/7x
32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
On the wake-up of Power-down mode, if the IRC was used before entering Power-down
mode, it will take IRC 60 s to start-up. After this, four IRC cycles will expire before the
code execution can then be resumed if the code was running from SRAM. In the
meantime, the flash wake-up timer then counts 12 MHz IRC clock cycles to make the
100 s flash start-up time. When it times out, access to the flash will be allowed. Users
need to reconfigure the PLL and clock dividers accordingly.
7.33.4.4 Deep power-down mode
In Deep power-down mode, power is shut off to the entire chip with the exception of the
RTC module and the RESET pin.
To optimize power conservation, the user has the additional option of turning off or
retaining power to the 32 kHz oscillator. It is also possible to use external circuitry to turn
off power to the on-chip regulator via the VDD(REG)(3V3) pins and/or the I/O power via the
VDD(3V3) pins after entering Deep Power-down mode. Power must be restored before
device operation can be restarted.
The LPC178x/7x can wake up from Deep power-down mode via the RESET pin or an
alarm match event of the RTC.
7.33.4.5 Wake-up Interrupt Controller (WIC)
The WIC allows the CPU to auto matically wake up fro m any ena bled pr iority inte rrup t that
can occur while the clocks are stopped in Deep-sleep, Power-down, and Deep
power-down modes.
The WIC works in connection with the Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC). Wh en
the CPU enters Deep-sleep, Powe r-down, o r Deep po wer- do wn mod e, the NVIC se nds a
mask of the current interrupt situation to the WIC.This mask includes all of the interrupts
that are both enabled and of sufficient priority to be serviced immediately. With this
information, the WIC simply notices when one of the interrupts has occurred and then it
wakes up the CPU.
The WIC eliminates the need to periodically wake up the CPU and poll the interrupts
resulting in addit ion a l powe r savin gs.
7.33.5 Peripheral power control
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.
7.33.6 Power domains
The LPC178x/7x provide two independent power domains that allow the bulk of the
device to have power removed while maintaining operation of the RTC and the backup
registers.
On the LPC178x/7x, I/O pads are powered by VDD(3V3), while VDD(REG)(3V3) powers the
on-chip voltage regulator which in turn provides power to the CPU and most of the
peripherals.
Depending on the LPC178x/7x application, a design can use two power options to
manage power consumption.

Product data sheet Rev. 5.5 — 26 April 2016 66 of 126
NXP Semiconductors LPC178x/7x
32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
The first option assumes that power consumption is not a concern and the de sign ties the
VDD(3V3) and VDD(REG)(3V3) pins together. This approach requires only on e 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(REG)(3V3)). Having the on-chip voltage regulator
powered independently from the I/O p ad ring enables sh utting do wn of the I/O p a d power
supply “on the fly” while the C P U and peripherals stay active.
The VBAT pin supplies power only to the RTC domain. The RTC operates at very low
power, which can be supplied by an external battery. The device core power
(VDD(REG)(3V3)) is used to operate the RTC whenever VDD(REG)(3V3) is present. There is no
power drain from the RTC battery when VDD(REG)(3V3) is at nominal levels and
VDD(REG)(3V3) > VBAT.

32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
7.34 System control
7.34.1 Reset
Reset has four sources on the LPC178x/7x: the RESET pin, the Watchdog reset,
Power-On Reset (POR), 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
voltage attains a usable level, starts the Wake-up timer (see description in
Section 7.33.3), causing reset to re main asserted until the external Reset is de-asserted,
the oscillator is running, a fixed number of clocks have passed, and the flash controller
has completed its initialization.
When the internal Reset is removed, th e processor begins executing at address 0, which
is initially the Reset vector mapped from the boot block. At that point, all of the processor
and peripheral registers have been initialized to predetermined values.
7.34.2 Brownout detection
The LPC178x/7x include 2-stage monitoring of the volt age on the VDD(REG)(3V3) pins. If this
voltage falls below 2.2 V (typical), the BOD asserts an interrupt signal to the Vectored
Interrupt Controller. This signal can be enabled for interrupt in the Interrupt Enable
Register in the NVIC in order to cause a CPU interrupt; if not, software can monitor the
signal by reading a dedicated status register.
The second stage of low-voltage detection asserts a reset to inactivate the LPC178x/7x
when the voltage on the VDD(REG)(3V3) pins falls below 1.85 V (typical). This reset prevent s
alteration of the flash as operation of th e va rio us elem en ts of the chip wou ld oth er wise
become unreliable due to low voltage. The BOD circuit maintains this reset down below
1 V, at which point the power-on reset circuitry maintains the overall reset.
Both the 2.2 V and 1.85 V thresholds include some hyster esis. In normal operation, this
hysteresis allows the 2.2 V detection to reliably interrupt, or a regularly executed event
loop to sense the condition.
7.34.3 Code security (Code Read Protection - CRP)
This feature of the LPC178x/7x allows user to enable different levels of security in the
system so that access to the on-chip fla sh and use of the JTAG and ISP can be restricted.
When needed, CRP is invoke d by pr og ram m ing a specific pattern into a dedicated flash
location. IAP commands are not affected by the CRP.
There are three levels of the Code Read Protection.
CRP1 disables access to chip via the JTAG and allows partial flash update (excluding
flash sector 0) using a limited set of the ISP commands. This mode is useful when CRP is
required and flash field updates are needed but all sectors can not be erased.
CRP2 disables ac cess to ch ip via th e JTAG and on ly allows full fla sh er as e an d upd at e
using a reduced set of the ISP commands.
Running an application with level CRP3 selected fully disables any access to chip via the
JTAG pins and the ISP. This mode effectively disables ISP override using P2[10] pin, too .
It is up to the user’s application to provide (if needed) flash update mechanism using IAP
calls or call reinvoke ISP command to enable flash update via UART0.

7.34.4 APB interface
The APB peripherals are split into two separate APB buses in order to distribute the bus
bandwidth and thereby re ducing stalls caused by contention be tween the CPU and the
GPDMA controller.
7.34.5 AHB multilayer matrix
The LPC178x/7x use an AHB multilayer matrix. This matrix connects the instruction
(I-code) and data (D-code) CPU buses of the ARM Cortex-M3 to the flash memory, the
main (64 kB) SRAM, and the Boot ROM. The GPDMA can also access all of these
memories. Additionally, the matrix connects the CPU system bus and all of the DMA
controllers to th e var io us perip h er al fu nc tion s.
7.34.6 External interrupt inputs
The LPC178x/7x include up to 30 edge sensitive interrupt inputs combined with one level
sensitive external interrupt input as select able pin function. The external interrupt input
can optionally be used to wake up the processor fro m Power-down mode.
7.34.7 Memory mapping control
The Cortex-M3 incorp orates a mechanism that allows remapping the interrupt vector table
to alternate locations in the memory map. This is controlled via the Vector Table Offset
Register contained in the NVIC.
The vector table may be located anywhere within the bottom 1 GB of Cortex-M3 address
space. The vector table must be located on a 128 word (512 byte) boundary because the
NVIC on the LPC178x/7x is configured for 128 total interrupts.
7.35 Debug control
Debug and trace functions are integrated into the ARM Cortex-M3. Serial wire debug and
trace functions are su pported in addition to a standard JTAG debug and parallel trace
functions. The ARM Cortex-M3 is configured to support up to eight breakpoints and four
watch points.
CAUTION
If level three Code Read Protection (CRP3) is selected, no future factory testing can be
performed on the device.

11.6 SSP interface
[1] The minimum clock cycle time, and therefore the maximum frequency of the SSP in master mode, is l imited
by the pin electronics to the value given. The SSP block should not be configured to generate a clock faster
than that. At and below the maximum frequency, Tcy(clk) = (SSPCLKDIV (1 + SCR) CPSDVSR) / fmain.
5The clock cycle time derived from the SPI bit rate Tcy(clk) is a function of the main clock frequency fmain, the
SSP peripheral clock divider (SSPCLKDIV), the SSP SCR parameter (specified in the SSP0CR0 register),
and the SSP CPSDVSR parameter (specified in the SSP clock prescale register).
[2] Tamb = 40 C to 85 C; VDD(3V3) = 3.0 V to 3.6 V.
[3] Tcy(clk) = 12 Tcy(PCLK). The maximum clock rate in slave mode is 1/12th of the PCLK rate.
[4] Tamb = 25 C; VDD(3V3) = 3.3 V.

11.7 I2C-bus
[1] See the I2C-bus specification UM10204 for details.
[2] Parameters are valid over operating temperature range unless otherwise specified.
[3] tHD;DAT is the data hold time that is measured from the falling edge of SCL; applies to data in transmission
and the acknowledge.
[4] A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for the SDA signal (with respect to the
VIH(min) of the SCL signal) to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
[5] Cb = total capacitance of one bus line in pF.
[6] The maximum tf for the SDA and SCL bus lines is specified at 300 ns. The maximum fall time for the SDA
output stage tf is specified at 250 ns. This allows series protection resistors to be connected in between the
SDA and the SCL pins and the SDA/SCL bus lines without exceeding the maximum specified tf.
[7] In Fast-mode Plus, fall time is specified the same for both output stage and bus timing. If series resistors
are used, designers should allow for this when considering bus timing.
[8] The maximum tHD;DAT could be 3.45 s and 0.9 s for S tandard-mode and Fast-mode but must be less than
the maximum of tVD;DAT or tVD;ACK by a transition time (see UM10204). This maximum must only be met if
the device does not stretch the LOW period (tLOW) of the SCL signal. If the clock stretches the SCL, the
data must be valid by the set-up time before it releases the clock.
[9] tSU;DAT is the data set-up time that is measured with respect to the rising edge of SCL; applies to data in
transmission and the acknowledge.
[10] A Fast-mode I2C-bus device can be used in a S tandard-mode I2C-bus system but the requirement tSU;DAT =
250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period
of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the next
data bit to the SDA line tr(max) + tSU;DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard-mode I2C-bus
specification) before the SCL line is released. Also the acknowledge timing must meet this set-up time.

[6] 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 28.
[7] 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 28.
[8] 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 28.

14.2 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 recommende d that the inpu t be coupled th rough 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 volt age by a facto r Ci/(Ci + Cg). In slave
mode, a minimum of 200 mV(RMS) is needed.

NXP Semiconductors LPC178x/7x
32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
In slave mode the input clock signal should be coup led by means of a cap acitor of 100 pF
(Figure 36), 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 XTALOUT pin in this configuration can be left unconnected.
External components and models used in oscillation mode are shown in Figure 37 and in
Table 34 and Table 35. Since the feedback resistance is integrated on ch ip, only a crystal
and the capacitances CX1 and CX2 nee d to be connected externally in case of
fundamental mode oscillation (the fundamental frequency is represented by L, CL and
RS). Capacitance CP in Figure 37 represent s the p arallel p ackage cap acitance and should
not be larger than 7 pF. Parameters FOSC, CL, RS and CP are supplied by the cry stal
manufacturer.

14.3 XTAL 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 C x1, Cx2, and Cx3 in case o f
third overtone crystal usage have a common ground plane. The external components
must also be conne cted to the g round p lane. Lo op s must be made as small as possible in
order to keep the noise coup le d in via the PCB as sm all as po ss ible . A lso parasitics
should stay as small as possible. Smaller values of Cx1 and Cx2 should be chosen
according to the increase in parasitics of the PCB layout.
14.4 Standard I/O pin configuration
Figure 38 shows the possible pin modes for standard I/O pins with analog input function:
Digital output driver: Open -d rai n mo d e enab le d/ disa b l ed .
Digital input: Pull-up enabled/disabled.
Digital input: Pull-down enabled/disabled.
Digital input: Repeater mode enabled/disabled.
Analog input.
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.
