LPC2420/2460  
Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller; Ethernet, CAN,  
ISP/IAP, USB 2.0 device/host/OTG, external memory interface  
Rev. 03 — 20 November 2008  
Preliminary data sheet  
1. General description  
NXP Semiconductors designed the LPC2420/2460 microcontroller around a 16-bit/32-bit  
ARM7TDMI-S CPU core with real-time debug interfaces that include both JTAG and  
embedded trace. The LPC2420/2460 is flashless. The LPC2420/2460 can execute both  
32-bit ARM and 16-bit Thumb instructions. Support for the two instruction sets means  
engineers can choose to optimize their application for either performance or code size at  
the sub-routine level. When the core executes instructions in Thumb state it can reduce  
code size by more than 30 % with only a small loss in performance while executing  
instructions in ARM state maximizes core performance.  
The LPC2420/2460 microcontroller is ideal for multi-purpose communication applications.  
It incorporates a 10/100 Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) (LPC2460 only), a USB  
full-speed Device/Host/OTG Controller with 4 kB of endpoint RAM, four UARTs, two  
Controller Area Network (CAN) channels (LPC2460 only), an SPI interface, two  
Synchronous Serial Ports (SSP), three I2C interfaces, and an I2S interface. Supporting  
this collection of serial communications interfaces are the following feature components;  
an on-chip 4 MHz internal precision oscillator, 82/98 kB of total RAM consisting of 64 kB  
of local SRAM, 16 kB SRAM for Ethernet (LPC2460 only), 16 kB SRAM for general  
purpose DMA, 2 kB of battery powered SRAM, and an External Memory Controller  
(EMC). These features make this device optimally suited for communication gateways and  
protocol converters. Complementing the many serial communication controllers, versatile  
clocking capabilities, and memory features are various 32-bit timers, an improved 10-bit  
ADC, 10-bit DAC, two PWM units, four external interrupt pins, and up to 160 fast GPIO  
lines. The LPC2420/2460 connects 64 of the GPIO pins to the hardware based Vector  
Interrupt Controller (VIC) that means these external inputs can generate edge-triggered  
interrupts. All of these features make the LPC2420/2460 particularly suitable for industrial  
control and medical systems.  
2. Features  
I ARM7TDMI-S processor, running at up to 72 MHz.  
I 82/98 kB on-chip SRAM includes:  
N 64 kB of SRAM on the ARM local bus for high performance CPU access.

outputs. Each timer block has an external count input.  
N Two PWM/timer blocks with support for three-phase motor control. Each PWM has  
an external count inputs.  
N RTC with separate power domain, clock source can be the RTC oscillator or the  
APB clock.  
N 2 kB SRAM powered from the RTC power pin, allowing data to be stored when the  
rest of the chip is powered off.  
N WatchDog Timer (WDT). The WDT can be clocked from the internal RC oscillator,  
the RTC oscillator, or the APB clock.  
I Standard ARM test/debug interface for compatibility with existing tools.  
I Emulation trace module supports real-time trace.  
I Single 3.3 V power supply (3.0 V to 3.6 V).  
I Three reduced power modes: idle, sleep, and power-down.  
I Four external interrupt inputs configurable as edge/level sensitive. All pins on port 0  
and port 2 can be used as edge sensitive interrupt sources.  
I Processor wake-up from Power-down mode via any interrupt able to operate during  
Power-down mode (includes external interrupts, RTC interrupt, USB activity, port 0/2  
pin interrupt, Ethernet wake-up interrupt (LPC2460 only), CAN bus activity (LPC2460  
only).  
I Two independent power domains allow fine tuning of power consumption based on  
needed features.

LPC2420/2460  
NXP Semiconductors  
Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller  
7. Functional description  
7.1 Architectural overview  
The LPC2420/2460 microcontroller consists of an ARM7TDMI-S CPU with emulation  
support, the ARM7 local bus for closely coupled, high-speed access to the majority of  
on-chip memory, the AMBA AHB interfacing to high-speed on-chip peripherals and  
external memory, and the AMBA APB for connection to other on-chip peripheral functions.  
The microcontroller permanently configures the ARM7TDMI-S processor for little-endian  
byte order.  
The LPC2460 only implements two AHB in order to allow the Ethernet block to operate  
without interference caused by other system activity. The primary AHB, referred to as  
AHB1, includes the VIC, GPDMA controller, and EMC.  
The second AHB (LPC2460 only), referred to as AHB2, includes only the Ethernet block  
and an associated 16 kB SRAM. In addition, a bus bridge is provided that allows the  
secondary AHB to be a bus master on AHB1, allowing expansion of Ethernet buffer space  
into off-chip memory or unused space in memory residing on AHB1.  
In summary, bus masters with access to AHB1 are the ARM7 itself, the GPDMA function,  
and the Ethernet block (via the bus bridge from AHB2). Bus masters with access to AHB2  
are the ARM7 and the Ethernet block.  
AHB peripherals are allocated a 2 MB range of addresses at the very top of the 4 GB  
ARM memory space. Each AHB peripheral is allocated a 16 kB address space within the  
AHB address space. Lower speed peripheral functions are connected to the APB. The  
AHB to APB bridge interfaces the APB to the AHB. APB peripherals are also allocated a  
2 MB range of addresses, beginning at the 3.5 GB address point. Each APB peripheral is  
allocated a 16 kB address space within the APB address space.  
The ARM7TDMI-S processor is a general purpose 32-bit microprocessor, which offers  
high performance and very low power consumption. The ARM architecture is based on  
Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) principles, and the instruction set and related  
decode mechanism are much simpler than those of microprogrammed complex  
instruction set computers. 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

LPC2420/2460  
NXP Semiconductors  
Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller  
The Thumb set’s 16-bit instruction length allows it to approach higher density compared to  
standard ARM code while retaining most of the ARM’s performance.  
7.2 On-chip SRAM  
The LPC2420/2460 includes a SRAM memory of 64 kB reserved for the ARM processor  
exclusive use. This RAM may be used for code and/or data storage and may be accessed  
as 8 bits, 16 bits, and 32 bits.  
A 16 kB SRAM block serving as a buffer for the Ethernet controller (LPC2460 only) and a  
16 kB SRAM associated with the second AHB can be used both for data and code  
storage, too. The 2 kB RTC SRAM can be used for data storage only. The RTC SRAM is  
battery powered and retains the content in the absence of the main power supply.  
7.3 Memory map  
The LPC2420/2460 memory map incorporates several distinct regions as shown in  
Table 5 and Figure 4.  
In addition, the CPU interrupt vectors may be remapped to allow them to reside in boot  
ROM or SRAM (see Section 7.25.6).

7.4 Interrupt controller  
The ARM processor core has two interrupt inputs called Interrupt Request (IRQ) and Fast  
Interrupt Request (FIQ). The VIC takes 32 interrupt request inputs which can be  
programmed as FIQ or vectored IRQ types. The programmable assignment scheme  
means that priorities of interrupts from the various peripherals can be dynamically  
assigned and adjusted.  
FIQs have the highest priority. If more than one request is assigned to FIQ, the VIC ORs  
the requests to produce the FIQ signal to the ARM processor. The fastest possible FIQ  
latency is achieved when only one request is classified as FIQ, because then the FIQ

NXP Semiconductors  
Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller  
service routine can simply start dealing with that device. But if more than one request is  
assigned to the FIQ class, the FIQ service routine can read a word from the VIC that  
identifies which FIQ source(s) is (are) requesting an interrupt.  
Vectored IRQs, which include all interrupt requests that are not classified as FIQs, have a  
programmable interrupt priority. When more than one interrupt is assigned the same  
priority and occur simultaneously, the one connected to the lowest numbered VIC channel  
will be serviced first.  
The VIC ORs the requests from all of the vectored IRQs to produce the IRQ signal to the  
ARM processor. The IRQ service routine can start by reading a register from the VIC and  
jumping to the address supplied by that register.  
7.4.1 Interrupt sources  
Each peripheral device has one interrupt line connected to the VIC but may have several  
interrupt flags. Individual interrupt flags may also represent more than one interrupt  
source.  
Any pin on port 0 and port 2 (total of 64 pins) regardless of the selected function, can be  
programmed to generate an interrupt on a rising edge, a falling edge, or both. Such  
interrupt request coming from port 0 and/or port 2 will be combined with the EINT3  
interrupt requests.  
7.5 Pin connect block  
The pin connect block allows selected pins of the microcontroller to have more than one  
function. Configuration registers control the multiplexers to allow connection between the  
pin and the on chip peripherals.  
Peripherals should be 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.  
7.6 External memory controller  
The LPC2420/2460 EMC is an ARM PrimeCell MultiPort Memory Controller peripheral  
offering support for asynchronous static memory devices such as RAM, ROM, and flash.  
In addition, it can be used as an interface with off-chip memory-mapped devices and  
peripherals. The EMC is an Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) compliant  
peripheral.  
7.6.1 Features

device.  
Separate reset domains allow the for auto-refresh through a chip reset if desired.  
Note: Synchronous static memory devices (synchronous burst mode) are not supported.  
7.7 General purpose DMA controller  
The GPDMA is an AMBA AHB compliant peripheral allowing selected LPC2420/2460  
peripherals to have DMA support.  
The GPDMA enables peripheral-to-memory, memory-to-peripheral,  
peripheral-to-peripheral, and memory-to-memory transactions. Each DMA stream  
provides unidirectional serial DMA transfers for a single source and destination. For  
example, a bidirectional port requires one stream for transmit and one for receive. The  
source and destination areas can each be either a memory region or a peripheral, and  
can be accessed through the AHB master.  
7.7.1 Features  
Two DMA channels. Each channel can support a unidirectional transfer.  
The GPDMA can transfer data between the 16 kB SRAM, external memory, and  
peripherals such as the SD/MMC, two SSPs, and the I2S interface.  
Single DMA and burst DMA request signals. Each peripheral connected to the  
GPDMA can assert either a burst DMA request or a single DMA request. The DMA  
burst size is set by programming the GPDMA.  
Memory-to-memory, memory-to-peripheral, peripheral-to-memory, and  
peripheral-to-peripheral transfers.  
Scatter or gather DMA is supported through the use of linked lists. This means that  
the source and destination areas do not have to occupy contiguous areas of memory.  
Hardware DMA channel priority. Each DMA channel has a specific hardware priority.  
DMA channel 0 has the highest priority and channel 1 has the lowest priority. If  
requests from two channels become active at the same time, the channel with the  
highest priority is serviced first.  
AHB slave DMA programming interface. The GPDMA is programmed by writing to the  
DMA control registers over the AHB slave interface.

One AHB master for transferring data. This interface transfers data when a DMA  
request goes active.  
32-bit AHB master bus width.  
Incrementing or non-incrementing addressing for source and destination.  
Programmable DMA burst size. The DMA burst size can be programmed to more  
efficiently transfer data. Usually the burst size is set to half the size of the FIFO in the  
peripheral.  
Internal four-word FIFO per channel.  
Supports 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit wide transactions.  
An interrupt to the processor can be generated on a DMA completion or when a DMA  
error has occurred.  
Interrupt masking. The DMA error and DMA terminal count interrupt requests can be  
masked.  
Raw interrupt status. The DMA error and DMA count raw interrupt status can be read  
prior to masking.  
7.8 Fast general purpose parallel I/O  
Device pins that are not connected to a specific peripheral function are controlled by the  
GPIO registers. Pins may be dynamically configured as inputs or outputs. Separate  
registers allow setting or clearing any number of outputs simultaneously. The value of the  
output register may be read back as well as the current state of the port pins.  
LPC2420/2460 use accelerated GPIO functions:  
GPIO registers are relocated to the ARM local bus so that the fastest possible I/O  
timing can be achieved.  
Mask registers allow treating sets of port bits as a group, leaving other bits  
unchanged.  
All GPIO registers are byte and half-word addressable.  
Entire port value can be written in one instruction.  
Additionally, any pin on port 0 and port 2 (total of 64 pins) that is not configured as an  
analog input/output can be programmed to generate an interrupt on a rising edge, a falling  
edge, or both. The edge detection is asynchronous, so it may operate when clocks are not  
present such as during Power-down mode. Each enabled interrupt can be used to wake  
the chip up from Power-down mode.  
7.8.1 Features  
Bit level set and clear registers allow a single instruction to set or clear any number of  
bits in one port.  
Direction control of individual bits.  
All I/O default to inputs after reset.  
Backward compatibility with other earlier devices is maintained with legacy port 0 and  
port 1 registers appearing at the original addresses on the APB.

7.9 Ethernet (LPC2460 only)  
The Ethernet block contains a full featured 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s Ethernet MAC  
designed to provide optimized performance through the use of DMA hardware  
acceleration. Features include a generous suite of control registers, half or full duplex  
operation, flow control, control frames, hardware acceleration for transmit retry, receive  
packet filtering and wake-up on LAN activity. Automatic frame transmission and reception  
with scatter-gather DMA off-loads many operations from the CPU.  
The Ethernet block and the CPU share a dedicated AHB subsystem that is used to access  
the Ethernet SRAM for Ethernet data, control, and status information. All other AHB traffic  
in the LPC2420/2460 takes place on a different AHB subsystem, effectively separating  
Ethernet activity from the rest of the system. The Ethernet DMA can also access off-chip  
memory via the EMC, as well as the SRAM located on another AHB. However, using  
memory other than the Ethernet SRAM, especially off-chip memory, will slow Ethernet  
access to memory and increase the loading of its AHB.  
The Ethernet block interfaces between an off-chip Ethernet PHY using the Media  
Independent Interface (MII) or Reduced MII (RMII) protocol and the on-chip Media  
Independent Interface Management (MIIM) serial bus.

7.10 USB interface  
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a 4-wire bus that supports communication between a  
host and one or more (up to 127) peripherals. The host controller allocates the USB  
bandwidth to attached devices through a token-based protocol. The bus supports hot  
plugging and dynamic configuration of the devices. All transactions are initiated by the  
host controller.  
The LPC2420/2460 USB interface includes a device, Host, and OTG Controller. Details on  
typical USB interfacing solutions can be found in Section 11.1 “Suggested USB interface  
solutions” on page 60.  
7.10.1 USB device controller  
The device controller enables 12 Mbit/s data exchange with a USB host controller. It  
consists of a register interface, serial interface engine, endpoint buffer memory, and a  
DMA controller. The serial interface engine decodes the USB data stream and writes data  
to the appropriate endpoint buffer. The status of a completed USB transfer or error  
condition is indicated via status registers. An interrupt is also generated if enabled. When  
enabled, the DMA controller transfers data between the endpoint buffer and the USB  
RAM.  
7.10.1.1 Features

7.11 CAN controller and acceptance filters (LPC2460 only)  
The Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial communications protocol which efficiently  
supports distributed real-time control with a very high level of security. Its domain of  
application ranges from high-speed networks to low cost multiplex wiring.  
The CAN block is intended to support multiple CAN buses simultaneously, allowing the  
device to be used as a gateway, switch, or router between two of CAN buses in industrial  
or automotive applications.  
Each CAN controller has a register structure similar to the NXP SJA1000 and the PeliCAN  
Library block, but the 8-bit registers of those devices have been combined in 32-bit words  
to allow simultaneous access in the ARM environment. The main operational difference is  
that the recognition of received Identifiers, known in CAN terminology as Acceptance  
Filtering, has been removed from the CAN controllers and centralized in a global  
Acceptance Filter.  
7.11.1 Features  
Two CAN controllers and buses.  
Data rates to 1 Mbit/s on each bus.  
32-bit register and RAM access.

operation on a SPI, 4-wire SSI, or Microwire bus. It can interact with multiple masters and  
slaves on the bus. Only a single master and a single slave can communicate on the bus  
during a given data transfer. The SSP supports full duplex transfers, with frames of 4 bits

7.18 I2C-bus serial I/O controller  
The LPC2420/2460 contains three I2C-bus controllers.  
The I2C-bus is bidirectional, for inter-IC control using only two wires: a serial clock line  
(SCL), and a serial data line (SDA). 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 and can  
be controlled by more than one bus master connected to it.  
The I2C-bus implemented in LPC2420/2460 supports bit rates up to 400 kbit/s (Fast  
I2C-bus).  
7.18.1 Features  
I2C0 is a standard I2C compliant bus interface with open-drain pins.

LPC2420/2460  
NXP Semiconductors  
Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller  
Do nothing on match.  
7.21 Pulse width modulator  
The PWM is based on the standard Timer block and inherits all of its features, although  
only the PWM function is pinned out on the LPC2420/2460. The Timer is designed to  
count cycles of the system derived clock and optionally switch pins, generate interrupts or  
perform other actions when specified 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.  
Two match registers can be used to provide a single edge controlled PWM output. A  
dedicated match register 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 PWMMR0 match occurs.  
Three match registers can be used to provide a PWM output with both edges controlled.  
Again, a dedicated 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).  
7.21.1 Features  
LPC2420/2460 has two PWMs with the same operational features. These may be  
operated in a synchronized fashion by setting them both up to run at the same rate,  
then enabling both simultaneously. PWM0 acts as the master and PWM1 as the slave  
for this use.  
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 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.  
7.22 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.  
7.22.1 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 prescaler.  
Selectable time period from (Tcy(WDCLK) × 256 × 4) to (Tcy(WDCLK) × 232 × 4) in  
multiples of Tcy(WDCLK) × 4.  
The Watchdog Clock (WDCLK) source can be selected from the RTC clock, the  
Internal RC oscillator (IRC), or the APB peripheral clock. This gives a wide range of  
potential timing choices of Watchdog operation under different power reduction  
conditions. It also provides the ability to run the WDT from an entirely internal source  
that is not dependent on an external crystal and its associated components and  
wiring, for increased reliability.  
7.23 RTC and battery RAM  
The RTC is a set of counters for measuring time when system power is on, and optionally  
when it is off. It uses little power in Power-down mode. On the LPC2420/2460, the RTC  
can be clocked by a separate 32.768 kHz oscillator or by a programmable prescale divider  
based on the APB clock. Also, the RTC is powered by its own power supply pin, VBAT,  
which can be connected to a battery or to the same 3.3 V supply used by the rest of the  
device.

LPC2420/2460  
NXP Semiconductors  
Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller  
The VBAT pin supplies power only to the RTC and the Battery RAM. These two functions  
require a minimum of power to operate, which can be supplied by an external battery.  
When the CPU and the rest of chip functions are stopped and power removed, the RTC  
can supply an alarm output that can be used by external hardware to restore chip power  
and resume operation.  
7.23.1 Features  
Measures the passage of time to maintain a calendar and clock.  
Ultra low power design to support battery powered systems.  
Provides Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Day of Month, Month, Year, Day of Week, and Day  
of Year.  
Dedicated 32 kHz oscillator or programmable prescaler from APB clock.  
Dedicated power supply pin can be connected to a battery or to the main 3.3 V.  
An alarm output pin is included to assist in waking up when the chip has had power  
removed to all functions except the RTC and Battery RAM.  
Periodic interrupts can be generated from increments of any field of the time registers,  
and selected fractional second values. This enhancement enables the RTC to be  
used as a System Timer.  
2 kB data SRAM powered by VBAT.  
RTC and Battery RAM power supply is isolated from the rest of the chip.  
7.24 Clocking and power control  
7.24.1 Crystal oscillators  
The LPC2420/2460 includes three independent oscillators. These are the Main Oscillator,  
the Internal RC oscillator, and the RTC oscillator. Each oscillator can be used for more  
than one purpose as required in a particular application. Any of the three clock sources  
can be chosen by software to drive the PLL and ultimately the CPU.  
Following reset, the LPC2420/2460 will operate from the Internal RC oscillator until  
switched by software. This allows systems to operate without any external crystal and the  
bootloader code to operate at a known frequency.  
7.24.1.1 Internal RC oscillator  
The IRC may be used as the clock source for the WDT, and/or as the clock that drives the  
PLL and subsequently the CPU. The nominal IRC frequency is 4 MHz. The IRC is  
trimmed to 1 % accuracy.  
Upon power-up or any chip reset, the LPC2420/2460 uses the IRC as the clock source.  
Software may later switch to one of the other available clock sources.  
7.24.1.2 Main oscillator  
The main oscillator can be used as the clock source for the CPU, with or without using the  
PLL. The main oscillator operates at frequencies of 1 MHz to 24 MHz. This frequency can  
be boosted to a higher frequency, up to the maximum CPU operating frequency, by the  
PLL. The clock selected as the PLL input is PLLCLKIN. The ARM processor clock  
frequency is referred to as CCLK elsewhere in this document. The frequencies of

LPC2420/2460  
NXP Semiconductors  
Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller  
PLLCLKIN and CCLK are the same value unless the PLL is active and connected. The  
clock frequency for each peripheral can be selected individually and is referred to as  
PCLK. Refer to Section 7.24.2 for additional information.  
7.24.1.3 RTC oscillator  
The RTC oscillator can be used as the clock source for the RTC and/or the WDT. Also, the  
RTC oscillator can be used to drive the PLL and the CPU.  
7.24.2 PLL  
The PLL accepts an input clock frequency in the range of 32 kHz to 24 MHz. The input  
frequency is multiplied up to a high frequency, then divided down to provide the actual  
clock used by the CPU and the USB block.  
The PLL input, in the range of 32 kHz to 24 MHz, may initially be divided down by a value  
‘N’, which may be in the range of 1 to 256. This input division provides a wide range of  
output frequencies from the same input frequency.  
Following the PLL input divider is the PLL multiplier. This can multiply the input divider  
output through the use of a Current Controlled Oscillator (CCO) by a value ‘M’, in the  
range of 1 through 32768. The resulting frequency must be in the range of 275 MHz to  
550 MHz. The multiplier works by dividing the CCO output by the value of M, then using a  
phase-frequency detector to compare the divided CCO output to the multiplier input. The  
error value is used to adjust the CCO frequency.  
The PLL is turned off and bypassed following a chip Reset and by entering Power-down  
mode. PLL is enabled by software only. The program must configure and activate the PLL,  
wait for the PLL to lock, then connect to the PLL as a clock source.  
7.24.3 Wake-up timer  
The LPC2420/2460 begins operation at power-up and when awakened from Power-down  
mode by using the 4 MHz IRC oscillator as the clock source. This allows chip operation to  
resume quickly. If the main oscillator or the PLL is needed by the application, software will  
need to enable these features and wait for them to stabilize before they are used as a  
clock source.  
When the main oscillator is initially activated, the wake-up timer allows software 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 crystal 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  
sufficient amplitude to drive the clock logic. The amount of time depends on many factors,  
including the rate of VDD(3V3) ramp (in the case of power on), the type of crystal and its  
electrical 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.

Flashless 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller  
7.24.4 Power control  
The LPC2420/2460 supports a variety of power control features. There are three special  
modes of processor power reduction: Idle mode, Sleep mode, and Power-down mode.  
The CPU clock rate may also be controlled as needed by changing clock sources,  
reconfiguring PLL values, and/or altering the CPU clock divider value. This allows a  
trade-off of power versus processing speed based on application requirements. In  
addition, Peripheral power control allows shutting down the clocks to individual on-chip  
peripherals, allowing fine tuning of power consumption by eliminating all dynamic power  
use in any peripherals that are not required for the application. Each of the peripherals  
has its own clock divider which provides even better power control.  
The LPC2420/2460 also implements a separate power domain in order to allow turning off  
power to the bulk of the device while maintaining operation of the RTC and a small SRAM,  
referred to as the Battery RAM.  
7.24.4.1 Idle mode  
In Idle mode, execution of instructions is suspended until either a Reset or interrupt  
occurs. Peripheral functions continue operation during Idle mode and may generate  
interrupts to cause the processor to resume execution. Idle mode eliminates dynamic  
power used by the processor itself, memory systems and related controllers, and internal  
buses.  
7.24.4.2 Sleep mode  
In Sleep mode, the oscillator is shut down and the chip receives no internal clocks. The  
processor state and registers, peripheral registers, and internal SRAM values are  
preserved throughout Sleep mode and the logic levels of chip pins remain static. The  
output of the IRC is disabled but the IRC is not powered down for a fast wake-up later. The  
32 kHz RTC oscillator is not stopped because the RTC interrupts may be used as the  
wake-up source. The PLL is automatically turned off and disconnected. The CCLK and  
USB clock dividers automatically get reset to zero.  
The Sleep mode can be terminated and normal operation resumed by either a Reset or  
certain specific interrupts that are able to function without clocks. Since all dynamic  
operation of the chip is suspended, Sleep mode reduces chip power consumption to a  
very low value.  
On the wake-up from Sleep mode, if the IRC was used before entering Sleep mode, the  
code execution and peripherals activities will resume after 4 cycles expire. If the main  
external oscillator was used, the code execution will resume when 4096 cycles expire.  
The customers need to reconfigure the PLL and clock dividers accordingly.  
7.24.4.3 Power-down mode  
Power-down mode does everything that Sleep mode does but also turns off the IRC  
oscillator.  
On the wake-up from Power-down mode, if the IRC was used before entering Power-down  
mode, it will take IRC 60 µs to start-up. After this 4 IRC cycles will expire before the code  
execution can then be resumed if the code was running from SRAM. The customers need  
to reconfigure the PLL and clock dividers accordingly after a wake-up from Power-down  
mode.

7.24.4.4 Power domains  
The LPC2420/2460 provides two independent power domains that allow the bulk of the  
device to have power removed while maintaining operation of the RTC and the Battery  
RAM.  
On the LPC2420/2460, I/O pads are powered by the 3.3 V (VDD(3V3)) pins, while the  
VDD(DCDC)(3V3) pins power the on-chip DC-to-DC converter which in turn provides power to  
the CPU and most of the peripherals.  
Although both the I/O pad ring and the core require a 3.3 V supply, different powering  
schemes can be used depending on the actual application requirements.  
The first option assumes that power consumption is not a concern and the design ties the  
VDD(3V3) and VDD(DCDC)(3V3) pins together. This approach requires only one 3.3 V power  
supply for both pads, the CPU, and peripherals. While this solution is simple, it does not  
support powering down the I/O pad ring “on the fly” while keeping the CPU and  
peripherals alive.  
The second option uses two power supplies; a 3.3 V supply for the I/O pads (VDD(3V3)) and  
a dedicated 3.3 V supply for the CPU (VDD(DCDC)(3V3)). Having the on-chip DC-DC  
converter powered independently from the I/O pad ring enables shutting down of the I/O  
pad power supply “on the fly”, while the CPU and peripherals stay active.  
The VBAT pin supplies power only to the RTC and the Battery RAM. These two functions  
require a minimum of power to operate, which can be supplied by an external battery.  
When the CPU and the rest of chip functions are stopped and power removed, the RTC  
can supply an alarm output that may be used by external hardware to restore chip power  
and resume operation.  
7.25 System control  
7.25.1 Reset  
Reset has four sources on the LPC2420/2460: the RESET pin, the Watchdog reset,  
power-on reset, and the BrownOut Detection (BOD) circuit. The RESET pin is a Schmitt  
trigger input pin. Assertion of chip Reset by any source, once the operating voltage attains  
a usable level, starts the Wake-up timer (see description in Section 7.24.3 “Wake-up  
timer”), causing reset to remain asserted until the external Reset is de-asserted, the  
oscillator is running, and a fixed number of clocks have passed.  
Once the internal reset is removed, all of the processor and peripheral registers have  
been initialized to predetermined values and the LPC2420/2460 continues with booting  
from an external static memory.  
7.25.2 Boot process  
The processor always boots from the off-chip static memory bank 1, executing code from  
address 0x8100 0000 (see Table 5 “LPC2420/2460 memory usage and details”). During  
the boot process initiated by POR, the boot pins P3[15]/D15 and P3[14]/D14 are sampled,  
and the external memory banks 0 and 1 are configured with the same data bus width. The  
data bus width is determined by the setting of the two boot pins. Unused address pins are  
configured as GPIO. See Section 11.2 “Suggested boot memory interface solutions” for  
an example of address and data bus interfacing.

Remark: After POR, the address ranges of chip select 1 and chip select 0 are swapped.  
The user code residing in the external boot memory must be linked to execute from  
address location 0x8000 0000.  
When booting from external memory, the interrupt vectors are mapped to the bottom of  
the external memory. Once booting is over, the application must map interrupt vectors to  
the proper domain.  
7.25.3 Brownout detection  
The LPC2420/2460 includes 2-stage monitoring of the voltage on the VDD(3V3) pins. If this  
voltage falls below 2.95 V, the BOD asserts an interrupt signal to the Vectored Interrupt  
Controller. This signal can be enabled for interrupt in the Interrupt Enable Register in the  
VIC 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 BOD Reset and generates a Reset  
(if this reset source is enabled in software) to inactivate the LPC2420/2460 when the  
voltage on the VDD(3V3) pins falls below 2.65 V. The BOD circuit maintains this reset down  
below 1 V, at which point the power-on reset circuitry maintains the overall Reset.  
Both the 2.95 V and 2.65 V thresholds include some hysteresis. In normal operation, this  
hysteresis allows the 2.95 V detection to reliably interrupt, or a regularly-executed event  
loop to sense the condition.  
7.25.4 AHB  
The LPC2460 implements two AHB in order to allow the Ethernet block to operate without  
interference caused by other system activity. The primary AHB, referred to as AHB1, is  
implemented on LPC2420 as well and includes the Vectored Interrupt Controller, GPDMA  
controller, USB interface, and 16 kB SRAM.  
The second AHB, referred to as AHB2, is implemented on LPC2460 only and includes  
only the Ethernet block and an associated 16 kB SRAM. In addition, a bus bridge is  
provided that allows the secondary AHB to be a bus master on AHB1, allowing expansion  
of Ethernet buffer space into off-chip memory or unused space in memory residing on  
AHB1.  
In summary, bus masters with access to AHB1 are the ARM7 itself, the USB block, the  
GPDMA function, and the Ethernet block (via the bus bridge from AHB2). Bus masters  
with access to AHB2 are the ARM7 and the Ethernet block.  
7.25.5 External interrupt inputs  
The LPC2420/2460 includes up to 68 edge sensitive interrupt inputs combined with up to  
four level sensitive external interrupt inputs as selectable pin functions. The external  
interrupt inputs can optionally be used to wake up the processor from Power-down mode.  
7.25.6 Memory mapping control  
The memory mapping control alters the mapping of the interrupt vectors that appear at the  
beginning at address 0x0000 0000. Vectors may be mapped to the bottom of the Boot  
ROM, the SRAM, or external memory. This allows code running in different memory  
spaces to have control of the interrupts.

7.26 Emulation and debugging  
The LPC2420/2460 support 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 P2[0] to P2[9]. This means that all communication, timer, and interface  
peripherals residing on other pins are available during the development and debugging  
phase as they are when the application is run in the embedded system itself.  
7.26.1 EmbeddedICE  
The EmbeddedICE logic provides on-chip debug support. The debugging of the target  
system requires a host computer running the debugger software and an EmbeddedICE  
protocol convertor. The EmbeddedICE protocol convertor converts the Remote Debug  
Protocol commands to the JTAG data needed to access the ARM7TDMI-S core present  
on the target system.  
The ARM core has a 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 coprocessor 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.  
The JTAG clock (TCK) must be slower than 16 of the CPU clock (CCLK) for the JTAG  
interface to operate.  
7.26.2 Embedded trace  
Since the LPC2420/2460 have significant amounts of on-chip memories, it is not possible  
to determine how the processor core is operating simply by observing the external pins.  
The ETM provides real-time trace capability for deeply embedded processor cores. It  
outputs information about processor execution to a trace port. A software debugger allows  
configuration of the ETM using a JTAG interface and displays the trace information that  
has been captured.  
The ETM is connected directly to the ARM core and not to the main AMBA system bus. It  
compresses the trace information and exports it through a narrow trace port. An external  
Trace Port Analyzer captures the trace information under software debugger control. The  
trace port can broadcast the Instruction trace information. Instruction trace (or PC trace)  
shows the flow of execution of the processor and 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.

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

debug their foreground application. It communicates with the host using the DCC, which is  
present in the EmbeddedICE logic. The LPC2420/2460 contain a specific configuration of  
RealMonitor software programmed into the on-chip ROM memory.

[1] Conditions: VSSA = 0 V, VDDA = 3.3 V.  
[2] The ADC is monotonic, there are no missing codes.  
[3] The differential linearity error (ED) is the difference between the actual step width and the ideal step width. See Figure 5.  
[4] The integral non-linearity (EL(adj)) is the peak difference between the center of the steps of the actual and the ideal transfer curve after  
appropriate adjustment of gain and offset errors. See Figure 5.  
[5] The offset error (EO) is the absolute difference between the straight line which fits the actual curve and the straight line which fits the  
ideal curve. See Figure 5.  
[6] The gain error (EG) is the relative difference in percent between the straight line fitting the actual transfer curve after removing offset  
error, and the straight line which fits the ideal transfer curve. See Figure 5.  
[7] The absolute error (ET) is the maximum difference between the center of the steps of the actual transfer curve of the non-calibrated ADC  
and the ideal transfer curve. See Figure 5.  
[8] See Figure 6.
