Rev. 04 — 14 April 2010
Product data sheet
1. General description
The LPC2927/2929 combine an ARM968E-S CPU core with two integrated TCM blocks
operating at frequencies of up to 125 MHz, Full-speed USB 2.0 OTG and device
controller, CAN and LIN, 56 kB SRAM, up to 768 kB flash memory, external memory
interface, three 10-bit ADCs, and multiple serial and parallel interfaces in a single chip
targeted at consumer, industrial and communication markets. To optimize system power
consumption, the LPC2927/2929 has a very flexible Clock Generation Unit (CGU) that
provides dynamic clock gating and scaling.
2. Features and benefits
ARM968E-S processor running at frequencies of up to 125 MHz maximum.
Multi-layer AHB system bus at 125 MHz with four separate layers.
On-chip memory:
Two Tightly Coupled Memories (TCM), 32 kB Instruction TCM (ITCM), 32 kB Data
TCM (DTCM).
Two separate internal Static RAM (SRAM) instances; 32 kB SRAM and 16 kB
SRAM.
8 kB ETB SRAM also available for code execution and data.
Up to 768 kB high-speed flash-program memory.
16 kB true EEPROM, byte-erasable and programmable.
Dual-master, eight-channel GPDMA controller on the AHB multi-layer matrix which can
be used with the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) interfaces and the UARTs, as well as
for memory-to-memory transfers including the TCM memories.
External Static Memory Controller (SMC) with eight memory banks; up to 32-bit data
bus; up to 24-bit address bus.
Serial interfaces:
USB 2.0 full-speed device/OTG controller with dedicated DMA controller and
on-chip device PHY.
Two-channel CAN controller supporting FullCAN and extensive message filtering.
Two LIN master controllers with full hardware support for LIN communication. The
LIN interface can be configured as UART to provide two additional UART
interfaces.
Two 550 UARTs with 16-byte Tx and Rx FIFO depths, DMA support, and
RS485/EIA-485 (9-bit) support.
Three full-duplex Q-SPIs with four slave-select lines; 16 bits wide; 8 locations deep;
Tx FIFO and Rx FIFO.
Two I2C-bus interfaces.
