1. General description
The LPC2101/02/03 microcontrollers are based on a 16-bit/32-bit ARM7TDMI-S CPU with
real-time emulation that combines the microcontroller with 8 kB, 16 kB or 32 kB of
embedded high-speed flash memory. A 128-bit wide memory interface and a unique
accelerator architecture enable 32-bit code execution at the maximum clock rate. For
critical performance in interrupt service routines and DSP algorithms, this increases
performance up to 30 % over Thumb mode. 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, the LPC2101/02/03 are ideal for
applications where miniaturization is a key requirement. A blend of serial communications
interfaces ranging from multiple UARTs, SPI to SSP and two I2C-buses, combined with
on-chip SRAM of 2 kB/4 kB/8 kB, make these devices very well suited for communication
gateways and protocol converters. The superior performance also makes these devices
suitable for use as math coprocessors. Various 32-bit and 16-bit timers, an improved
10-bit ADC, PWM features through output match on all timers, and 32 fast GPIO lines with
up to nine edge or level sensitive external interrupt pins make these microcontrollers
particularly suitable for industrial control and medical systems.

Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontrollers
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 set’s 16-bit instruction length allows it to approach twice the density of
standard ARM code while retaining most of the ARM’s 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 LPC2101/02/03 allows for full speed execution
also in ARM mode. It is recommended to program performance critical and short code
sections 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 LPC2101/02/03 incorporate a 8 kB, 16 kB or 32 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. The entire flash memory is available for user code as the
bootloader resides in a separate memory.
The LPC2101/02/03 flash memory provides a minimum of 100,000 erase/write cycles and
20 years of data-retention memory.

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-bits, 16-bits, and 32-bits. The LPC2101/02/03 provide 2 kB, 4 kB or 8 kB of
static RAM.
6.4 Memory map
The LPC2101/02/03 memory map incorporates several distinct regions, as shown in
Figure 4.
In addition, the CPU interrupt vectors may be re-mapped to allow them to reside in either
flash memory (the default) or on-chip static RAM. This is described in Section 6.17
“System control”.

NXP Semiconductors LPC2101/02/03
Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontrollers
6.5 Interrupt controller
The VIC accepts all of the interrupt request inputs and categorizes them as FIQ, vectored
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 are configured as input with the following exceptions: If the
DBGSEL pin is HIGH (Debug mode enabled), the JTAG pins will assume their JTAG
functionality for use with EmbeddedICE and cannot be configured via the pin connect
block.

NXP Semiconductors LPC2101/02/03
Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontrollers
6.7 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 number of outputs simultaneously. The value of the
output register may be read back, as well as the current state of the port pins.
LPC2101/02/03 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.

receive data lines, UART1 also provides a full modem control handshake interface.
Compared to previous LPC2000 microcontrollers, UARTs in LPC2101/02/03 include a
fractional baud rate generator for both UARTs. Standard baud rates such as 115200 can
be achieved with any crystal frequency above 2 MHz.

need for external crystals of particular values.
Transmission FIFO control enables implementation of software (XON/XOFF) flow
control on both UARTs.
UART1 is equipped with standard modem interface signals. This module also
provides full support for hardware flow control (auto-CTS/RTS).
6.10 I2C-bus serial I/O controllers
The LPC2101/02/03 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., LCD driver) or a transmitter with the
capability to both receive and send information such as serial 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 LPC2101/02/03 supports bit rates up to 400 kbit/s (Fast
I2C-bus).
6.10.1 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 also be used for test and diagnostic purposes.
6.11 SPI serial I/O controller
The LPC2101/02/03 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 8 bits to 16 bits of data to the
slave, and the slave always sends 8 bits to 16 bits of data to the master.
6.11.1 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.
6.12 SSP serial I/O controller
The LPC2101/02/03 each contain one 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 flowing from the master to the slave and from the slave to the master. Often only
one of these data streams carries meaningful data.

Compatible with Motorola SPI, 4-wire Texas Instruments SSI, and National
Semiconductor’s Microwire buses
Synchronous serial communication
Master or slave operation
8-frame FIFOs for both transmit and receive

6.13 General purpose 32-bit 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 LPC2101/02/03 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.
6.13.1 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.

6.15 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.
6.15.1 Features

6.16 Real-time clock
The Real-Time Clock (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).
6.16.1 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. The 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.
6.17 System control
6.17.1 Crystal oscillator
The 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 6.17.2 “PLL
and Section 10.1 “XTAL1 input” for additional information.
6.17.2 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 70 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, and then connect to the PLL as a
clock source. The PLL settling time is 100 µs.

Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontrollers
6.17.3 Reset and wake-up timer
Reset has two sources on the LPC2101/02/03: the RST pin and watchdog reset. The RST
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 reset 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 and Deep power-down mode, any wake-up of the processor from
the Power-down modes 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.

6.17.4 Code security (Code Read Protection - CRP)
This feature of the LPC2101/02/03 allows user to enable different levels of security in the
system so that access to the on-chip flash and use of the JTAG and ISP can be restricted.
When needed, CRP is invoked by programming a specific pattern into a dedicated flash
location. IAP commands are not affected by the CRP.
Implemented in bootloader code version 2.21 are three levels of the Code Read
Protection:
1. 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 cannot be erased.
2. CRP2 disables access to chip via the JTAG and only allows full flash erase and
update using a reduced set of the ISP commands.
3. 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 P0.14
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.
Remark: Parts LPC2101/02/03 Revision ‘-’ have CRP2 enabled only (bootloader code
version 2.2).
6.17.5 External interrupt inputs
The LPC2101/02/03 include up to three edge or level sensitive external interrupt inputs as
selectable pin functions. When the pins are combined, external events can be processed
as three independent interrupt signals. The external interrupt inputs can optionally be
used to wake-up the processor from Power-down mode and Deep power-down mode.
Additionally all 10 capture input pins can also be used as external interrupts without the
option to wake the device up from Power-down mode.
6.17.6 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.
6.17.7 Power control
The LPC2101/02/03 supports three reduced power modes: Idle mode, Power-down
mode, and Deep power-down mode.
CAUTION
If level three Code Read Protection (CRP3) is selected, no future factory testing can be
performed on the device.

NXP Semiconductors LPC2101/02/03
Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontrollers
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.
In Deep-power down mode all power is removed from the internal chip logic except for the
RTC module, the I/O ports, the SRAM, and the 32 kHz external oscillator. For additional
power savings, SRAM and the 32 kHz oscillator can be powered down individually. The
Deep power-down mode produces the lowest possible power consumption without
actually removing power from the entire chip. In Deep power-down mode, the contents of
registers and memory are not preserved except for SRAM, if selected, and three general
purpose registers. Therefore, to resume operations, a full chip reset process is required.
A power selector module switches the RTC power supply from VBAT to VDD(1V8) whenever
the core voltage is present on pin VDD(1V8) to conserve battery power.
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.
6.17.8 APB
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 so that they can operate at the
speed chosen for the ARM processor. In order to achieve this, the APB may be slowed
down to 12 to 14 of the processor clock rate. Because the APB 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), the default condition at reset is for the APB to run at 14of 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.
6.18 Emulation and debugging
The LPC2101/02/03 support emulation and debugging via a JTAG serial port.

6.18.1 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 converter. The EmbeddedICE protocol converter converts the
remote debug protocol commands to the JTAG data needed to access the ARM core.
The ARM core has a debug communication channel function built-in. The debug
communication channel 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 debug communication channel is accessed as a
coprocessor 14 by the program running on the ARM7TDMI-S core. The debug
communication channel allows the JTAG port to be used for sending and receiving data
without affecting the normal program flow. The debug communication channel data and
control registers are mapped in to addresses in the EmbeddedICE logic. The JTAG clock
(TCK) must be slower than 16 of the CPU clock (CCLK) for the JTAG interface to operate.
6.18.2 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 LPC2101/02/03 contain a specific configuration of
RealMonitor software programmed into the on-chip boot ROM memory.

[3] Bus capacitance Cb in pF, from 10 pF to 400 pF.
10. Application information
10.1 XTAL1 input
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 Cgwhich attenuates the input voltage by a factor Ci/(Ci+C
g). In slave
mode, a minimum of 200 mV (RMS) is needed. For more details see the

10.2 XTAL and RTC 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 and 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 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.
