Product data sheet
1. General description
The LPC1768/67/66/65/64 are ARM Cortex-M3 based microcontrollers for embedded
applications featuring a high level of integration and low power consumption. The ARM
Cortex-M3 is a next generation core that offers system enhancements such as enhanced
debug features and a higher level of support block integration.
The LPC1768/67/66/65/64 operate at CPU frequencies of up to 100 MHz. The ARM
Cortex-M3 CPU incorporates a 3-stage pipeline and uses a Harvard architecture with
separate local instruction and data buses as well as a third bus for peripherals. The ARM
Cortex-M3 CPU also includes an internal prefetch unit that supports speculative
branching.
The peripheral complement of the LPC1768/67/66/65/64 includes up to 512 kB of flash
memory, up to 64 kB of data memory, Ethernet MAC, USB Device/Host/OTG interface,
8-channel general purpose DMA controller, 4 UARTs, 2 CAN channels, 2 SSP controllers,
SPI interface, 3 I2C-bus interfaces, 2-input plus 2-output I2S-bus interface, 8-channel
12-bit ADC, 10-bit DAC, motor control PWM, Quadrature Encoder interface, four general
purpose timers, 6-output general purpose PWM, ultra-low power Real-Time Clock (RTC)
with separate battery supply, and up to 70 general purpose I/O pins.
The LPC1768/67/66/65/64 are pin-compatible to the 100-pin LPC236x ARM7-based
microcontroller series.
2. Features
ARM Cortex-M3 processor, running at frequencies of up to 100 MHz. A Memory
Protection Unit (MPU) supporting eight regions is included.
ARM Cortex-M3 built-in Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC).
Up to 512 kB on-chip flash programming memory. Enhanced flash memory accelerator
enables high-speed 100 MHz operation with zero wait states.
In-System Programming (ISP) and In-Application Programming (IAP) via on-chip
bootloader software.
On-chip SRAM includes:
32/16 kB of SRAM on the CPU with local code/data bus for high-performance CPU
access.
Two/one 16 kB SRAM blocks with separate access paths for higher throughput.
These SRAM blocks may be used for Ethernet, USB, and DMA memory, as well as
for general purpose CPU instruction and data storage.
