Preliminary data sheet
1. General description
The LPC178x/7x is an ARM Cortex-M3 based microcontroller for embedded applications
requiring a high level of integration and low power dissipation.
The Cortex-M3 is a next generation core that offers better performance than the ARM7 at
the same clock rate and other system enhancements such as modernized debug features
and a higher level of support block integration. The Cortex-M3 CPU incorporates a
3-stage pipeline and has a Harvard architecture with separate local instruction and data
buses, as well as a third bus with slightly lower performance for peripherals. The
Cortex-M3 CPU also includes an internal prefetch unit that supports speculative
branches.
The LPC178x/7x adds a specialized flash memory accelerator to accomplish optimal
performance when executing code from flash. The LPC178x/7x operates at up to
120 MHz CPU frequency.
The peripheral complement of the LPC178x/7x includes up to 512 kB of flash program
memory, up to 96 kB of SRAM data memory, up to 4032 byte of EEPROM data memory,
External Memory Controller (EMC), LCD (LPC178x only), Ethernet, USB
Device/Host/OTG, a General Purpose DMA controller, five UARTs, three SSP controllers,
three I
2
C-bus interfaces, one eight-channel, 12-bit ADC, a 10-bit DAC, a Quadrature
Encoder Interface, four general purpose timers, two general purpose PWMs with six
outputs each and one motor control PWM, an ultra-low power RTC with separate battery
supply and event recorder, a windowed watchdog timer, a CRC calculation engine, up to
165 general purpose I/O pins, and more. The pinout of LPC178x/7x is intended to allow
pin function compatibility with the LPC24xx and LPC23xx.
2. Features and benefits
Functional replacement for the LPC23xx and LPC24xx family devices.
System:
ARM Cortex-M3 processor, running at frequencies of up to 120 MHz. A Memory
Protection Unit (MPU) supporting eight regions is included.
ARM Cortex-M3 built-in Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC).
Multilayer AHB matrix interconnect provides a separate bus for each AHB master.
AHB masters include the CPU,USB, Ethernet, and the General Purpose DMA
controller. This interconnect provides communication with no arbitration delays
unless two masters attempt to access the same slave at the same time.
Split APB bus allows for higher throughput with fewer stalls between the CPU and
DMA. A single level of write buffering allows the CPU to continue without waiting for
completion of APB writes if the APB was not already busy.

data rate SDRAM with an SDRAM clock of up to 80 MHz.
Eight channel General Purpose DMA controller (GPDMA) on the AHB multilayer
matrix that can be used with the SSP, I2S, UART, CRC engine, Analog-to-Digital and
Digital-to-Analog converter peripherals, timer match signals, GPIO, and for
memory-to-memory transfers.

NXP Semiconductors
LPC178x/7x
32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
CAN controller with two channels.
Digital peripherals:
SD/MMC memory card interface.
Up to 165 General Purpose I/O (GPIO) pins depending on the packaging with
configurable pull-up/down resistors, open-drain mode, and repeater mode. All
GPIOs are located on an AHB bus for fast access and support Cortex-M3
bit-banding. GPIOs can be accessed by the General Purpose DMA Controller. Any
pin of ports 0 and 2 can be used to generate an interrupt.
Two external interrupt inputs configurable as edge/level sensitive. All pins on port 0
and port 2 can be used as edge sensitive interrupt sources.
Four general purpose timers/counters with a total of eight capture inputs and ten
compare outputs. Each timer block has an external count input. Specific timer
events can be selected to generate DMA requests.
Quadrature encoder interface that can monitor one external quadrature encoder.
Two standard PWM/timer blocks with external count input option.
One motor control PWM with support for three-phase motor control.
Real-Time Clock (RTC) with a separate power domain. The RTC is clocked by a
dedicated RTC oscillator. The RTC block includes 20 bytes of battery-powered
backup registers, allowing system status to be stored when the rest of the chip is
powered off. Battery power can be supplied from a standard 3 V lithium button cell.
The RTC will continue working when the battery voltage drops to as low as 2.1 V.
An RTC interrupt can wake up the CPU from any reduced power mode.
Event Recorder that can capture the clock value when an event occurs on any of
three inputs. The event identification and the time it occurred are stored in
registers. The Event Recorder is located in the RTC power domain and can
therefore operate as long as there is RTC power.
Windowed Watchdog Timer (WWDT). Windowed operation, dedicated internal
oscillator, watchdog warning interrupt, and safety features.
CRC Engine block can calculate a CRC on supplied data using one of three
standard polynomials. The CRC engine can be used in conjunction with the DMA
controller to generate a CRC without CPU involvement in the data transfer.
Analog peripherals:
12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with input multiplexing among eight pins,
conversion rates up to 400 kHz, and multiple result registers. The 12-bit ADC can
be used with the GPDMA controller.
10-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) with dedicated conversion timer and
GPDMA support.
Power control:
Four reduced power modes: Sleep, Deep-sleep, Power-down, and Deep
power-down.
The Wake-up Interrupt Controller (WIC) allows the CPU to automatically wake up
from any priority interrupt that can occur while the clocks are stopped in
Deep-sleep, Power-down, and Deep power-down modes.
Processor wake-up from Power-down mode via any interrupt able to operate
during Power-down mode (includes external interrupts, RTC interrupt, PORT0/2
pin interrupt, and NMI).
Brownout detect with separate threshold for interrupt and forced reset.
On-chip Power-On Reset (POR).
