OM11015,598 - NXP SEMICONDUCTORS

1. General description

NXP Semiconductors designed the LPC2478 microcontroller, powered by the

ARM7TDMI-S core, to be a highly integrated microcontroller for a wide range of

applications that require advanced communications and high q uality graphic displays. The

LPC2478 microcontroller has 512 kB of on-chip high-speed flash memory. This flash

memory includes a special 128-bit wide memory interface and accelerator architecture

that enables the CPU to execute sequential instructions from flash memory at the

maximum 72 MHz system clock rate. This feature is available only on the LPC2000 ARM

microcontroller family of products. The LPC2478, with real-time debug interfaces that

include both JTAG and embedded trace, can execute both 32-bit ARM and 16-bit Thumb

instructions.

The LPC2478 microcontroller incorporates an LCD controller, a 10/100 Ethernet Media

Access Controller (MAC), a USB full-speed Device/Host/OTG Controller with 4 kB of

endpoint RAM, four UARTs, two Controller Area Network (CAN) channels, an SPI

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

Supporting this collection of serial communications interface s ar e the follo win g fe at ur e

components; an on-chip 4 MHz internal oscillator, 98 kB of total RAM consisting of 64 kB

of local SRAM, 16 kB SRAM for Ethernet, 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 portable electronics and Point-of-Sale (POS) applicatio ns.

Complementing the many serial communication controllers, versatile clocking capabilities,

and memory features are vario us 32-bit timers, a 10-bit ADC, 10-bit DAC, two PWM units,

and up to 160 fast GPIO lines. The LPC2478 connects 64 of the GPIO pins to the

hardware based Vector Interrupt Controller (VIC) allowing the external inputs to generate

edge-triggered inter rupt s. All of these featur es make the LPC2478 particul arly suitable for

industrial control and medical systems.

NXP Semiconductors LPC2478

Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

7. Functional description

7.1 Architectural overview

The LPC2478 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 AMB A 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 LPC2478 implements two AHBs in order to allow the Etherne t 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, 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 bl ock (via the bus bridge fr om AHB2). Bus masters with access to AHB2

are the ARM7 and the Ethernet block.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

decode mechanism are much simpler than those of microprogrammed complex

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

restrictions, or applications where code density is an issue.

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

ARM7TDMI-S processor has two instruction sets:

•the standard 32-bit ARM set

•a 16-bit Thumb s et

Product data sheet Rev. 3 — 12 September 2011 29 of 93

NXP Semiconductors LPC2478

Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

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

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

7.2 On-chip flash programming memory

The LPC2478 incorporates 512 kB flash memory system. 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 (UART0). 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 and firmware upgrades.

The flash memory is 128 bits wide and includes pre-fetching and buffering techniques to

allow it to operate at speeds of 72 MHz.

7.3 On-chip SRAM

The LPC2478 includes a SRAM memory of 64 kB reserved for the ARM processor

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

as 8 bits, 16 bits, and 32 bits.

A 16 kB SRAM block serving as a buffer for the Ethernet controller and a 16 kB SRAM

associated with the second AHB can be used for data and code storage. The 2 kB RTC

SRAM can be used for data storage only. The RTC SRAM is battery powered and ret a ins

the content in the absence of the main power supply.

The LPC2478 me mory map incor porates seve ral distinct regi ons as shown in Table 5 and

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

7.5 Interrupt controller

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

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

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

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

assigned and adjusted.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Vectored IRQs, which include all interrupt request s that ar e not classified as FIQs, have a

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

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

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.

7.5.1 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.

7.6 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 conn ected to the appro priate pins prior to being activated and pr ior

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

not mapped to a related pin should be considered undefined.

7.7 External memory controller

The LPC2478 EMC is an ARM PrimeCell MultiPort Memory Controller peripheral offering

support for asynchronous static memory devic es such as RAM, ROM, and flash. In

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

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

peripheral.

7.7.1 Features

•Dynamic memory interface support including single data rate SDRAM.

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

without asynchronous page mode.

•Low transaction latency.

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

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

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

•Static memory features include:

Product data sheet Rev. 3 — 12 September 2011 33 of 93

NXP Semiconductors LPC2478

Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

–Asynchronous page mode read

–Programmable Wait States

–Bus turnaround delay

–Output enable and write enable delays

–Extended wait

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

devices.

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

•Dynamic memory self-refresh mode controlled by software.

•Controller supports 2048 (A0 to A10), 4096 (A0 to A11), and 8192 (A0 to A12) row

address synchronous memory parts. That is typical 512 MB, 256 MB, and 128 MB

parts, with 4, 8, 16, or 32 data bits per device.

•Separate reset domains allow auto-refre sh through a chip reset if desired.

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

7.8 General purpose DMA controller

The GPDMA is an AMBA AHB compliant peripheral allowing selected LPC2478

peripherals to have DMA support.

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

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

provides unidirectional serial DMA transfers for a single source and destin ation. 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.

7.8.1 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-periphera l, 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 pr iority. 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 th e

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

Product data sheet Rev. 3 — 12 September 2011 34 of 93

NXP Semiconductors LPC2478

Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

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

request goes active.

•32-bit AHB master bus width.

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

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

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

peripheral.

•Internal four-word FIFO per channel.

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

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

error has occurred.

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

masked.

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

prior to masking.

7.9 Fast general purpose parallel I/O

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

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

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

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

LPC2478 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 configure d as an

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

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

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

the chip up from Power-down mode.

7.9.1 Features

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

bits in one port.

•Direction control of individual bits.

•All I/O default to inputs after reset.

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

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

7.10 LCD controller

The LCD controller provides all of the necessary control signals to interface directly to a

variety of color and mono chro me LCD panels. Both ST N (sing le a nd dua l panel) and TFT

panels can be oper ated. The disp lay resolu tion is se lect able a nd can be up to 1024 768

pixels. Several color modes are provided, up to a 24-bit true-col or non-palettized mode.

An on-chip 512-byte color palette allows reducing bus utilization (i.e. memory size of the

displayed data) while still supporting a large number of colors.

The LCD interface includes its own DMA controller to allow it to operate independently of

the CPU and other sys te m fu nc tion s. A built-in FIFO acts as a buffer for display data,

providing flexibility for system timing. Hardware cursor support can further reduce the

amount of CPU time needed to operate the display.

pin.

7.11 Ethernet

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 an d wa ke-u p on LAN activity. Automatic frame transmissio n and recep tion

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

Product data sheet Rev. 3 — 12 September 2011 36 of 93

NXP Semiconductors LPC2478

Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

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

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

in the LPC2478 t akes pla ce on a dif ferent AHB subsystem, ef fectively separ ating 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.

7.11.1 Features

7.12 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 LPC2478 USB interface includes a device, host, and OTG controller. Details on

7.13 CAN controller and acceptance filters

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

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

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

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

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

or automotive applications.

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

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

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

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

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

Acceptance Filter.

7.20 I2C-bus serial I/O controller

The LPC2478 contains three I2C-bus controllers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The I2C-bus implemented in LPC2478 supports bit rates up to 400 kbit/s (Fast I2C-bus).

7.20.1 Features

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

•I2C1 and I2C2 use standard I/O pins and do not support powering off of individual

devices connected to the same bus lines.

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

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

master, and one slave. The I2S interface on the LPC2478 provides a separate transmit

and receive channel, each of which can operate as either a master or a slave.

The LPC2478 includes four 32-bit Timer/Counters. The Timer/Counter is designed to

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

generate interrupts or perform other actions at specified timer values, based on four

match registers. The Timer/Counter also includes four capture inputs to trap the timer

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

7.22.1 Features

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

•Counter or Timer operation.

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

NXP Semiconductors LPC2478

Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

7.23 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 LPC2478. 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.

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

dedicated match register controls the PWM cycle rate, by resett ing the count upo n match.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

outputs.

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

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

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

edge occurs prior to the rising edge).

7.23.1 Features

•LPC2478 has two PWMs with the same oper ational features. These may be oper ated

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 periph eral clock or one of th e capture inpu ts

as the clock source).

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

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

–Continuous operation with optional interrupt generation on match.

–Stop timer on match with optional interrupt generation.

–Reset timer on match with optional interrupt generation.

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

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

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

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

going pulses.

Product data sheet Rev. 3 — 12 September 2011 44 of 93

NXP Semiconductors LPC2478

Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

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

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

occur at the same repetition rate.

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

or negative going pulses.

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

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

effective.

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

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

7.24 Watchdog timer

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

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

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

amount of time.

7.24.1 Features

•Internally resets chip if not periodically reloaded.

•Debug mode.

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

disabled.

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

•Flag to indicate watchdog reset.

•Programmable 32-bit timer with internal prescaler.

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

multiples of Tcy(WDCLK) 4.

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

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

potential timing choices of Watchdog operation under different power reduction

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

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

wiring, for increased reliability.

7.25 RTC and battery RAM

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

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

the LPC2478, 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.

Product data sheet Rev. 3 — 12 September 2011 45 of 93

NXP Semiconductors LPC2478

Single-chip 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.

7.25.1 Features

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

•Ultra low power design to support battery powered systems.

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

Day of Year.

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

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

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

removed to all functions except the RTC and Battery RAM.

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

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

used as a System Timer.

•2 kB data SRAM powered by VBAT.

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

7.26 Clocking and power control

7.26.1 Crystal oscillators

The LPC2478 includes three independent oscillators. These are the Main Oscillator, the

Internal RC oscillator, and the R TC oscillator. Each oscillator can be used for more than

one purpose as req uir ed in a particular applicatio n. Any of th e three clock so urce s can be

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

Following reset, the LPC2478 will operate from the Internal RC oscillator until switched by

software. This allows systems to operate without any external crystal and the boo tloader

code to operate at a known frequency.

7.26.1.1 Internal RC oscillator

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

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

trimmed to 1 % accuracy.

Upon power-up or any chip reset, the LPC2478 uses the IRC as the clock source.

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

7.26.1.2 Main oscillator

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

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

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

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

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

Product data sheet Rev. 3 — 12 September 2011 46 of 93

NXP Semiconductors LPC2478

Single-chip 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 refe rred to as

PCLK. Refer to Section 7.26.2 for additional information.

7.26.1.3 RTC oscillator

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

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

7.26.2 PLL

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

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

clock used by the CPU and the USB block.

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

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

output frequencies from the same input frequency.

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

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

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

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

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

error value is used to adjust the CCO frequency.

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

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

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

7.26.3 Wake-up timer

The LPC2478 begins operation at power-up and whe n awakened from Power-down and

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

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

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

before they are used as a clock source.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wake-up Timer.

The Wake-up Timer monitors the crystal oscillator to check whether it is safe to begin

code execution. When power is applied to the chip, or when some eve nt caused the chip

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

sufficie nt amplitude to drive the clock logic. The amount of time d epends 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 q uartz cr yst al is used) , as well as any other external cir cuitry

(e.g., capacitors), and the characteristics of the oscillator itself under the existing ambient

conditions.

NXP Semiconductors LPC2478

Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

7.26.4 Power control

The LPC2478 supports a variety of power control features. There are four special modes

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

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

clock sources, reconfiguring PLL values, and/or altering the CPU clock divider value. This

allows a trade-off of power versus processing speed based on application req uirements.

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 periphera ls th at are not re qu ire d for th e ap plic at ion . Each of the peripherals

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

The LPC2478 also implements a separate power domain in ord er to allow turning off

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

referred to as the Battery RAM.

7.26.4.1 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.

7.26.4.2 Sleep mode

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

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

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

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

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

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

USB clock dividers automatically get reset to zero.

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

certain specific interrupts that are able to function withou t clocks. Since all dynamic

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

very low value. The flash memory is left on in Sleep mode, allowing a very quick wake-up.

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 divider s accordingly.

7.26.4.3 Power-down mode

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

oscillator and the flash memory. This saves more power, but requires waiting for

resumption of flash oper ation before execution of code or dat a access in the flash memory

can be accomplished.

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

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

before the code execution can then be resumed if the code was running from SRAM. In

Product data sheet Rev. 3 — 12 September 2011 48 of 93

NXP Semiconductors LPC2478

Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

the meantime, the flash wake-up timer then counts 4 MHz IRC clock cycles to make the

100 s flash start-up time. When it times out, access to the flash will be allowed. The

customers need to reconfigure the PLL and clock dividers accordingly.

7.26.4.4 Deep power-down mode

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

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

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

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

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

reset.

If power is supplied to the LPC2478 during Deep power-down mode, wake-up can be

caused by the RTC Alarm interrupt or by external Reset.

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

the LPC2478 will start up when external power is restored.

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

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

to the VBAT pin is maintained.

7.26.4.5 Power domains

The LPC2478 provides two independent power domains that allow the bulk of the device

to have power removed while maintaining operation of the RTC and the Batter y RAM.

On the LPC2478, I/O pads are powered by the 3.3 V (VDD(3V3)) pins, while the

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

the CPU and most of the peripherals.

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

schemes can be used depending on the actual application requirements.

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

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

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

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

peripherals alive.

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

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

converter powered independently from the I/O pad ring enables shutting do wn 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.

NXP Semiconductors LPC2478

Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

7.27 System control

7.27.1 Reset

Reset has four sources on the LPC2478: the RESET pin, the Watchdog reset, power-on

reset, and the BrownOut Detection (BOD) cir cuit. The RESET pin is a Schmitt trig ger input

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

level, starts the wake-up timer (see description in Section 7.26.3 “Wake-up timer”),

causing reset to remain asserted until the external Reset is de-asserted, the oscillator is

running, a fixed number of clocks have passed, and the flash control ler ha s comp leted it s

initialization.

When the internal Reset is removed, the processor begins executin g at address 0, which

is initially the Reset vector mapped from the Boot Block. At th at poin t, all of the pr ocessor

and peripheral registers have been initialized to predetermined values.

7.27.2 Brownout detection

The LPC2478 includ es 2-st age moni toring of the volta ge on the V DD(DCDC)(3V3) pins. If this

voltage falls below 2.95 V, the BOD asse rts 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 no t, so ftware can mo nitor the sig nal by readin g a

dedicated status register.

The second stage of low-volt age detection asserts Reset to inactivate the LPC24 78 when

the volt age on the V DD(DCDC)(3V3) pins falls below 2.65 V. This Reset prevents al teration o f

the flash as operation of the various elements of the chip would otherwise become

unreliable due to low voltage. The BOD circuit maintains this reset down below 1 V, at

which point the 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.

7.27.3 Code security (Code Read Protection - CRP)

This feature of the LPC2478 allows user to ena ble differ ent levels of security in the system

so that access to the on-chip flash and use of the JTAG and ISP ca n be rest rict ed . Whe n

needed, CRP is invoked by pr ogramming 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 neede d but all sectors can not be erased.

CRP2 disables ac ce ss to chip via th e JTAG and on ly allo ws 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 a call to reinvoke the ISP command to enable flash update via UART0.

Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

7.27.4 AHB

The LPC2478 implement s two AHB in order to allow the Ethernet block to opera te without

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

includes the Vectored Interrupt Controller, GPDMA controller, USB interface, and 16 kB

SRAM.

The second AHB, 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 USB block, the

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

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

7.27.5 External interrupt inputs

The LPC2478 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.

7.27.6 Memory mapping control

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

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

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

spaces to have control of the interrupts.

7.28 Emulation and debugging

The LPC2478 support emulation and debugging via a JTAG serial port. A trace port allows

tracing program execution. Debugging and trace functions a re 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.

7.28.1 EmbeddedICE

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

system requires a host computer running the debug ger 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 Debu g Co mmunication Channel (DCC) function built-in. The DCC

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

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

CAUTION

If level three Code Read Protection (CRP3) is selected, no future factory testing can be

performed on the device.

Product data sheet Rev. 3 — 12 September 2011 51 of 93

NXP Semiconductors LPC2478

Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

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

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

the normal progr am flow. The DCC data and control register s are mapped in to addresses

in the EmbeddedICE logic.

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

interface to operate.

7.28.2 Embedded trace

Since the LPC2478 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 debug ger allows

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

has been captured.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

restriction.

7.28.3 RealMonitor

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

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

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

present in the EmbeddedICE logic. The LPC2478 contain a specific configuration of

RealMonitor software programmed into the on-chip ROM memory.

9. Thermal characteristics

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

equation:

(1)

•Tamb = ambient temperature (C),

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

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

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

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

in some applications.

12. ADC electrical characteristics

[1] Conditions: VSSA =0V, V

DDA =3.3V.

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

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

[4] The 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 19.

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

ideal curve. See Figure 19.

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

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

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

ADC and the ideal transfer curve. See Figure 19.

[8] See Figure 20.

14.3 Crystal oscillator XTAL input and component selection

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

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

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

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

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

NXP Semiconductors LPC2478

Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit microcontroller

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

(Figure 27), with an amplitude between 200 mV (RMS) and 1000 mV (RMS). This

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

The XTAL2 pin in this configuration can be left unconnected.

External components and models used in oscillation mode are shown in Figure 28 and in

Table 23 and Table 24. Since the feedback resistance is integrated on chip, only a crystal

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

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

RS). Capacitance CP in Figure 28 represent s the p arallel p ackage cap acitance and sho uld

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

manufacturer.

14.4 RTC 32 kHz oscillator component selection

The RTC external oscillator circuit is shown in Figure 29. Sinc e the feedback resist ance is

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

externally to the microcontroller.

Table 25 gives the crystal p arameters that should be used. CL is the typical load

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

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

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

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

accurate time reference it is advise d to us e the loa d capacito rs as spec ifie d in Table 25

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

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

from PCB and package are not taken into account.

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

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

and output pins of the chip. Take care that the load capacitors C x1, Cx2, and Cx3 in case of

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

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

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

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

accordingly to the increase in parasitics of the PCB layout.

14.6 Standard I/O pin configuration

Figure 30 shows the possible pin modes for standard I/O pins with analog input function:

•Digital output driver

•Digital input: Pull-up enabled/disabled

•Digital input: Pull-down enabled/disabled

•Analog input (for ADC input channels)

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

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