ISP/IAP, Ethernet, USB 2.0, CAN, and 10-bit ADC/DAC
Rev. 01 — 6 December 2006
Preliminary data sheet
1. General description
The LPC2378 microcontroller is based on a 16-bit/32-bit ARM7TDMI-S CPU with
real-time emulation that combines the microcontroller with 512 kB of embedded
high-speed flash memory. A 128-bit wide memory interface and a unique accelerator
architecture enable 32-bit code execution at the maximum clock rate. For critical
performance in interrupt service routines and DSP algorithms, this increases performance
up to 30 % over Thumb mode. For critical code size applications, the alternative 16-bit
Thumb mode reduces code by more than 30 % with minimal performance penalty.
The LPC2378 is ideal for multi-purpose serial communication applications. It incorporates
a 10/100 Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC), USB full speed device with 4 kB of
endpoint RAM, four UARTs, two CAN channels, an SPI interface, two Synchronous Serial
Ports (SSP), three I2C interfaces, an I2S interface, and an External Memory Controller
(EMC). This blend of serial communications interfaces combined with an on-chip 4 MHz
internal oscillator, SRAM of 32 kB, 16 kB SRAM for Ethernet, 8 kB SRAM for USB and
general purpose use, together with 2 kB battery powered SRAM make this device very
well suited for communication gateways and protocol converters. Various 32-bit timers, an
improved 10-bit ADC, 10-bit DAC, PWM unit, a CAN control unit, and up to 104 fast GPIO
lines with up to 50 edge and up to four level sensitive external interrupt pins make these
microcontrollers particularly suitable for industrial control and medical systems.
2. Features
n ARM7TDMI-S processor, running at up to 72 MHz.
n Up to 512 kB on-chip flash program memory with In-System Programming (ISP) and
In-Application Programming (IAP) capabilities. Flash program memory is on the ARM
local bus for high performance CPU access.
n 32 kB of SRAM on the ARM local bus for high performance CPU access.
n 16 kB SRAM for Ethernet interface. Can also be used as general purpose SRAM.
n 8 kB SRAM for general purpose DMA use also accessible by the USB.
n Dual Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB) system that provides for simultaneous
Ethernet DMA, USB DMA, and program execution from on-chip flash with no
contention between those functions. A bus bridge allows the Ethernet DMA to access
the other AHB subsystem.
n EMC provides support for static devices such as flash and SRAM as well as off-chip
memory mapped peripherals.
n Advanced Vectored Interrupt Controller (VIC), supporting up to 32 vectored interrupts.
n General Purpose AHB DMA controller (GPDMA) that can be used with the SSP serial
interfaces, the I2S port, and the Secure Digital/MultiMediaCard (SD/MMC) card port,
as well as for memory-to-memory transfers.

7. Functional description
7.1 Architectural overview
The LPC2378 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 LPC2378 implements two AHB buses 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, 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 bus.
The AHB to APB bridge interfaces the APB bus to the AHB bus. 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
The Thumb set’s 16-bit instruction length allows it to approach twice the density of
standard ARM code while retaining most of the ARM’s performance advantage over a
traditional 16-bit processor using 16-bit registers. This is possible because Thumb code
operates on the same 32-bit register set as ARM code.
Thumb code is able to provide up to 65 % of the code size of ARM, and 160 % of the
performance of an equivalent ARM processor connected to a 16-bit memory system.
7.2 On-chip flash programming memory
The LPC2378 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 SRAM speeds of 72 MHz.
The LPC2378 provides a minimum of 100000 write/erase cycles and 20 years of data
retention.
7.3 On-chip SRAM
The LPC2378 includes a SRAM memory of 32 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 and an 8 kB SRAM
associated with the USB device can be used both for data and code storage, too.
Remaining SRAM such as a 4 kB USB FIFO and a 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.
7.4 Memory map
The LPC2378 memory map incorporates several distinct regions as shown in Figure 3.
In addition, the CPU interrupt vectors may be remapped to allow them to reside in either
flash memory (default), boot ROM, or SRAM (see Section 7.26.6).

7.5 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.

LPC2378
NXP Semiconductors
Fast communication chip
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 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.
7.5.1 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 PORT0 and PORT2 (total of 46 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 PORT0 and/or PORT2 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 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.
7.7 External memory controller
The LPC2378 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.

• Static memory features include:
– Asynchronous page mode read
– Programmable Wait States (WST)
– Bus turnaround delay
– Output enable and write enable delays
– Extended wait
7.8 General purpose DMA controller
The GPDMA is an AMBA AHB compliant peripheral allowing selected LPC2378
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.
7.8.1 Features
• Two DMA channels. Each channel can support a unidirectional transfer.
• The GPDMA can transfer data between the 8 kB SRAM and peripherals such as the
SD/MMC, two SSP, and I2S interfaces.
• 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 bus 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.
7.9 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 number of outputs simultaneously. The value of the
output register may be read back as well as the current state of the port pins.
LPC2378 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 PORT0 and PORT2 (total of 46 pins) providing a digital function
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 up the chip from
Power-down mode.
7.9.1 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 PORT0
and PORT1 registers appearing at the original addresses on the APB bus.
7.10 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 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 LPC2378 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

7.11 USB interface
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a 4-wire bus that supports communication between a
host and a number (127 maximum) of peripherals. The host controller allocates the USB
bandwidth to attached devices through a token based protocol. The bus supports hot
plugging, unplugging and dynamic configuration of the devices. All transactions are
initiated by the host controller.
The two sets of pins needed by a USB device are named VBUS, USB_D+1, USB_D−1,
USB_UP_LED1, USB_CONNECT1, and USB_D+2, USB_D−2, USB_UP_LED2, and
USB_CONNECT2 respectively. At any given time only one of these two sets can be active
and used by the application.
7.11.1 USB device controller
The device controller enables 12 Mbit/s data exchange with a USB host controller. It
consists of register interface, serial interface engine, endpoint buffer memory, and the
DMA controller. The serial interface engine decodes the USB data stream and writes data
to the appropriate end point buffer memory. The status of a completed USB transfer or
error condition is indicated via status registers. An interrupt is also generated if enabled.
The DMA controller when enabled transfers data between the endpoint buffer and the
USB RAM.

7.12 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 among a number 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

handle multiple masters and slaves connected to a given bus. Only a single master and a
single slave can communicate on the interface during a given data transfer. During a data
transfer the master always sends 8 bits to 16 bits of data to the slave, and the slave

7.19 I2C-bus serial I/O controllers
The LPC2378 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 LPC2378 supports bit rates up to 400 kbit/s (Fast I2C-bus).

7.20 I2S-bus serial I/O controllers
The I2S-bus provides a standard communication interface for digital audio applications.
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 LPC2378 provides a separate transmit
and receive channel, each of which can operate as either a master or a slave.
7.20.1 Features
• The interface has separate input/output channels each of which can operate in master
or slave mode.
• Capable of handling 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit word sizes.
• Mono and stereo audio data supported.

the GPDMA block.
• Controls include reset, stop and mute options separately for I2S input and I2S output.
7.21 General purpose 32-bit timers/external event counters
The LPC2378 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.
7.21.1 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
value when an input signal transitions. A capture event may also optionally generate
an interrupt.
• Four 32-bit match registers that 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.
• Up to four external outputs corresponding to match registers, with the following
capabilities:
– Set LOW on match.
– Set HIGH on match.
– Toggle on match.
– Do nothing on match.
7.22 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 LPC2378. 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. One
match register (PWMMR0) 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, the PWMMR0 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).
7.22.1 Features
• LPC2378 has one PWM block with 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.

LPC2378
NXP Semiconductors
Fast communication chip
• 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.
7.23 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.
7.23.1 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.
7.24 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 LPC2378, 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.

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 Clocking and power control
7.25.1 Crystal oscillators
The LPC2378 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 LPC2378 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.
7.25.1.1
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 LPC2378 uses the IRC as the clock source.
Software may later switch to one of the other available clock sources.
7.25.1.2
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

LPC2378
NXP Semiconductors
Fast communication chip
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 7.25.2 for additional information.
7.25.1.3
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.
7.25.2 PLL
The PLL accepts an input clock frequency in the range of 32 kHz to 50 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 50 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.
7.25.3 Wake-up timer
The LPC2378 begins operation at power-up and when awakened from Power-down mode
or Deep 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.

LPC2378
NXP Semiconductors
Fast communication chip
7.25.4 Power control
The LPC2378 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 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 LPC2378 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.
7.25.4.1
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.
7.25.4.2
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. The flash memory is left on in Sleep mode, allowing a very quick wake-up.
On the wake-up of 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.
7.25.4.3
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 operation before execution of code or data access in the flash memory
can be accomplished.
On the wake-up of 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. In the meantime, the

Fast communication chip
flash wake-up timer then counts 4 MHz IRC clock cycles to make the 100 µs 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.
7.25.4.4
Deep power-down mode
Deep power-down mode is like Power-down mode, but the on-chip regulator that supplies
power to internal logic is also shut off. This produces the lowest possible power
consumption without actually removing power from the entire chip. Since 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 LPC2378 during Deep power-down mode, wake-up can be
caused by the RTC Alarm or external Reset.
While in Deep power-down mode, external device power may be removed. In this case,
the LPC2378 will start up when external power is restored.
Essential data may be retained through Deep power-down mode (or through complete
powering off of the chip) by storing data in the Battery RAM, as long as the external power
to the VBAT pin is maintained.
7.25.4.5
Power domains
The LPC2378 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 LPC2378, I/O pads are powered by the 3.3 V (VDD(3V3)) pins, while the
VDD(DCDC)(3V3) and VDD(1V8) pins power the on-chip DC-to-DC converter which in turn
provides power to the CPU and most of the peripherals.
Depending on the LPC2378 application, a design can use two power options to manage
power consumption.
The first option assumes power consumption is not a concern and the design ties the
VDD(3V3) and VDD(DCDC)(3V3) pins together while the VDD(1V8) pins are not connected. 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 1.8 V supply for the CPU (VDD(1V8)). When using this option, the on-chip
DC-to-DC converter remains powered down because the VDD(DCDC)(3V3) pins must not be
connected if the VDD(1V8) pins are attached to the 1.8 V supply. This second supply option
enables shutting down the VDD(3V3) supply to power off the I/O pads “on the fly”, while the
CPU and peripherals stay active thanks to the second independent 1.8 V supply.
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.

LPC2378
NXP Semiconductors
Fast communication chip
7.26 System control
7.26.1 Reset
Reset has four sources on the LPC2378: 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 7.25.3 “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 controller has completed its
initialization.
When the internal Reset is removed, the processor begins executing at address 0, which
is initially the Reset vector mapped from the Boot Block. At that point, all of the processor
and peripheral registers have been initialized to predetermined values.
7.26.2 Brownout detection
The LPC2378 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 Reset to inactivate the LPC2378 when
the voltage on the VDD(3V3) pins falls below 2.65 V. This Reset prevents alteration of 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.
7.26.3 Code security
This feature of the LPC2378 allows an application to control whether it can be debugged
or protected from observation.
If after reset the on-chip bootloader detects a valid checksum in flash and reads
0x8765 4321 from address 0x1FC in flash, debugging will be disabled and thus the code
in flash will be protected from observation. Once debugging is disabled, it can be enabled
by performing a full chip erase using the ISP.
7.26.4 AHB bus
The LPC2378 implements two AHB buses 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 Vectored Interrupt Controller, GPDMA controller, USB interface, and
8 kB SRAM primarily intended for use by the USB.
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.

LPC2378
NXP Semiconductors
Fast communication chip
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.
7.26.5 External interrupt inputs
The LPC2378 includes up to 50 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.
7.26.6 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.
7.27 Emulation and debugging
The LPC2378 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.
7.27.1 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.
7.27.2 Embedded trace
Since the LPC2378 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.
7.27.3 RealMonitor
RealMonitor is a configurable software module, developed by ARM Inc., which enables
real-time debug. It is a lightweight debug monitor that runs in the background while users
debug their foreground application. It communicates with the host using the DCC, which is
present in the EmbeddedICE logic. The LPC2378 contain a specific configuration of
RealMonitor software programmed into the on-chip ROM memory.

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 4.
[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 4.
[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 4.
[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 4.
[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 4.
[8]
See Figure 5.
