6. Functional description
6.1 Architectural overview
The LPC2921/2923/2925 consists of:
• An ARM968E-S processor with real-time emulation support
• An AMBA multilayer Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB) for interfacing to the
on-chip memory controllers
• Two DTL buses (an universal NXP interface) for interfacing to the interrupt controller
and the Power, Clock and Reset Control SubSystem (PCRSS).
• Three ARM Peripheral Buses (APB - a compatible super set of ARM's AMBA
advanced peripheral bus) for connection to on-chip peripherals clustered in
subsystems.
• One ARM Peripheral Bus for event router and system control.
The LPC2921/2923/2925 configures the ARM968E-S processor in little-endian byte order.
All peripherals run at their own clock frequency to optimize the total system power
consumption. The AHB2APB bridge used in the subsystems contains a write-ahead buffer
one transaction deep. This implies that when the ARM968E-S issues a buffered write
action to a register located on the APB side of the bridge, it continues even though the
actual write may not yet have taken place. Completion of a second write to the same
subsystem will not be executed until the first write is finished.
6.2 ARM968E-S processor
The ARM968E-S is a general purpose 32-bit RISC processor, 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 (CISC). This simplicity results in a high instruction throughput
and impressive real-time interrupt response from a small and cost-effective controller
core.
Amongst the most compelling features of the ARM968E-S are:
• Separate directly connected instruction and data Tightly Coupled Memory (TCM)
interfaces.

NXP Semiconductors
ARM9 microcontroller with CAN, LIN, and USB
• Write buffers for the AHB and TCM buses.
• Enhanced 16 × 32 multiplier capable of single-cycle MAC operations and 16-bit fixedpoint DSP instructions to accelerate signal-processing algorithms and applications.
Pipeline techniques are employed so that all parts of the processing and memory systems
can operate continuously. The ARM968E-S is based on the ARMv5TE five-stage pipeline
architecture. Typically, in a three-stage pipeline architecture, while one instruction is being
executed its successor is being decoded and a third instruction is being fetched from
memory. In the five-stage pipeline additional stages are added for memory access and
write-back cycles.
The ARM968E-S processor also employs a unique architectural strategy known as
THUMB, which makes it ideally suited to high-volume applications with memory
restrictions or to applications where code density is an issue.
The key idea behind THUMB is that of a super-reduced instruction set. Essentially, the
ARM968E-S processor has two instruction sets:
• Standard 32-bit ARMv5TE set
• 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 controller using 16-bit registers. This is possible because THUMB code
operates on the same 32-bit register set as ARM code.
THUMB code can provide up to 65 % of the code size of ARM, and 160 % of the
performance of an equivalent ARM controller connected to a 16-bit memory system.
The ARM968E-S processor is described in detail in the ARM968E-S data sheet Ref. 2.
6.3 On-chip flash memory system
The LPC2921/2923/2925 includes a 128 kB, 256 kB, or 512 kB flash memory system.
This memory can be used for both code and data storage. Programming of the flash
memory can be accomplished via the flash memory controller or the JTAG.
The flash controller also supports a 16 kB, byte-accessible on-chip EEPROM integrated
on the LPC2921/2923/2925.
6.4 On-chip static RAM
In addition to the two 16 kB TCMs, the LPC2921/2923/2925 includes two static RAM
memories of 16 kB each for a total of 32 kB (LPC2925 only) or one block of 16 kB
(LPC2921/2923). They may be used for code and/or data storage.
The 8 kB SRAM block for the ETB can be used as static memory for code and data
storage as well. However, DMA access to this memory region is not supported.

6.6 Reset, debug, test, and power description
6.6.1 Reset and power-up behavior
The LPC2921/2923/2925 contains external reset input and internal power-up reset
circuits. This ensures that a reset is extended internally until the oscillators and flash have
reached a stable state. See Section 8 for trip levels of the internal power-up reset circuit1.
See Section 9 for characteristics of the several start-up and initialization times. Table 4
shows the reset pin.
Table 4.
Reset pin
Symbol
Direction
Description
RST
IN
external reset input, active LOW; pulled up internally
At activation of the RST pin the JTAGSEL pin is sensed as logic LOW. If this is the case
the LPC2921/2923/2925 is assumed to be connected to debug hardware, and internal
circuits re-program the source for the BASE_SYS_CLK to be the crystal oscillator instead
of the Low-Power Ring Oscillator (LP_OSC). This is required because the clock rate when
running at LP_OSC speed is too low for the external debugging environment.
6.6.2 Reset strategy
The LPC2921/2923/2925 contains a central module, the Reset Generator Unit (RGU) in
the Power, Clock and Reset Subsystem (PCRSS), which controls all internal reset signals
towards the peripheral modules. The RGU provides individual reset control as well as the
monitoring functions needed for tracing a reset back to source.
6.6.3 IEEE 1149.1 interface pins (JTAG boundary-scan test)
The LPC2921/2923/2925 contains boundary-scan test logic according to IEEE 1149.1,
also referred to in this document as Joint Test Action Group (JTAG). The boundary-scan
test pins can be used to connect a debugger probe for the embedded ARM processor. Pin
JTAGSEL selects between boundary-scan mode and debug mode. Table 5 shows the
boundary- scan test pins.

The ETM provides real-time trace capability for deeply embedded processor cores. It
outputs information about processor execution to a trace buffer. A software debugger
allows configuration of the ETM using a JTAG interface and displays the trace information
that has been captured in a format that a user can easily understand. The ETB stores
trace data produced by the ETM.
The ETM/ETB module has the following features:
•
•

•
•
Closely tracks the instructions that the ARM core is executing.
On-chip trace data storage (ETB).
All registers are programmed through JTAG interface.
Does not consume power when trace is not being used.

6.7 Clocking strategy
6.7.1 Clock architecture
The LPC2921/2923/2925 contains several different internal clock areas. Peripherals like
Timers, SPI, UART, CAN and LIN have their own individual clock sources called base
clocks. All base clocks are generated by the Clock Generator Unit (CGU0). They may be
unrelated in frequency and phase and can have different clock sources within the CGU.
The system clock for the CPU and AHB Bus infrastructure has its own base clock. This
means most peripherals are clocked independently from the system clock. See Figure 4
for an overview of the clock areas within the device.
Within each clock area there may be multiple branch clocks, which offers very flexible
control for power-management purposes. All branch clocks are outputs of the Power
Management Unit (PMU) and can be controlled independently. Branch clocks derived
from the same base clock are synchronous in frequency and phase. See Section 6.15 for
more details of clock and power control within the device.

6.8 Flash memory controller
The flash memory has a 128-bit wide data interface and the flash controller offers two
128-bit buffer lines to improve system performance. The flash has to be programmed
initially via JTAG. In-system programming must be supported by the bootloader. Flash
memory contents can be protected by disabling JTAG access. Suspension of burning or
erasing is not supported.
The Flash Memory Controller (FMC) interfaces to the embedded flash memory for two
tasks:
• Memory data transfer
• Memory configuration via triggering, programming, and erasing
The key features are:
•
•
•
•
Programming by CPU via AHB
Programming by external programmer via JTAG
JTAG access protection
Burn-finished and erase-finished interrupt
6.8.1 Functional description
After reset flash initialization is started. During this initialization, flash access is not
possible and AHB transfers to flash are stalled, blocking the AHB bus.
During flash initialization, the index sector is read to identify the status of the JTAG access
protection and sector security. If JTAG access protection is active, the flash is not
accessible via JTAG. In this case, ARM debug facilities are disabled and flash-memory
contents cannot be read. If sector security is active, only the unsecured sections can be
read.
Flash can be read synchronously or asynchronously to the system clock. In synchronous
operation, the flash goes into standby after returning the read data. Started reads cannot
be stopped, and speculative reading and dual buffering are therefore not supported.
With asynchronous reading, transfer of the address to the flash and of read data from the
flash is done asynchronously, giving the fastest possible response time. Started reads can
be stopped, so speculative reading and dual buffering are supported.
Buffering is offered because the flash has a 128-bit wide data interface while the AHB
interface has only 32 bits. With buffering a buffer line holds the complete 128-bit flash
word, from which four words can be read. Without buffering every AHB data port read
starts a flash read. A flash read is a slow process compared to the minimum AHB cycle
time, so with buffering the average read time is reduced improving system performance.
With single buffering, the most recently read flash word remains available until the next
flash read. When an AHB data-port read transfer requires data from the same flash word
as the previous read transfer, no new flash read is done and the read data is given without
wait cycles.
When an AHB data port read transfer requires data from a different flash word to that
involved in the previous read transfer, a new flash read is done and wait states are given
until the new read data is available.

With dual buffering, a secondary buffer line is used, the output of the flash being
considered as the primary buffer. On a primary buffer, hit data can be copied to the
secondary buffer line, which allows the flash to start a speculative read of the next flash
word.
Both buffer lines are invalidated after:
•
•
•
•
Initialization
Configuration-register access
Data-latch reading
Index-sector reading
The modes of operation are listed in Table 9.

flash-word read is started; highest performance for linear reads
6.8.2 Flash layout
The ARM processor can program the flash for ISP (In-System Programming) through the
flash memory controller. Note that the flash always has to be programmed by ‘flash words’
of 128 bits (four 32-bit AHB bus words, hence 16 bytes).
The flash memory is organized into eight ‘small’ sectors of 8 kB each and up to 11 ‘large’
sectors of 64 kB each. The number of large sectors depends on the device type. A sector
must be erased before data can be written to it. The flash memory also has sector-wise
protection. Writing occurs per page which consists of 4096 bits (32 flash words). A small
sector contains 16 pages; a large sector contains 128 pages.
Table 10 gives an overview of the flash-sector base addresses.

The index sector is a special sector in which the JTAG access protection and sector
security are located. The address space becomes visible by setting the FS_ISS bit and
overlaps the regular flash sector’s address space.
Note that the index sector, once programmed, cannot be erased. Any flash operation must
be executed out of SRAM (internal or external).
6.8.3 Flash bridge wait-states
To eliminate the delay associated with synchronizing flash-read data, a predefined
number of wait-states must be programmed. These depend on flash-memory response
time and system clock period. The minimum wait-states value can be calculated with the
following formulas:
Synchronous reading:
t acc ( clk )
WST > ------------------ – 1
tt
(1)
tclk ( sys )
Asynchronous reading:
t acc ( addr )
WST > ---------------------- – 1
t tclk ( sys )
(2)
Remark: If the programmed number of wait-states is more than three, flash-data reading
cannot be performed at full speed (i.e. with zero wait-states at the AHB bus) if speculative
reading is active.
6.8.4 Pin description
The flash memory controller has no external pins. However, the flash can be programmed
via the JTAG pins, see Section 6.6.3.
6.8.5 Clock description
The flash memory controller is clocked by CLK_SYS_FMC, see Section 6.7.2.

6.8.6 EEPROM
EEPROM is a non-volatile memory mostly used for storing relatively small amounts of
data, for example for storing settings. It contains one 16 kB memory block and is
byte-programmable and byte-erasable.
The EEPROM can be accessed only through the flash controller.
6.9 General Purpose DMA (GPDMA) controller
The GPDMA controller allows 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 receives. The
source and destination areas can each be either a memory region or a peripheral, and
can be accessed through the same AHB master or one area by each master.
The GPDMA controls eight DMA channels with hardware prioritization. The DMA
controller interfaces to the system via two AHB bus masters, each with a full 32-bit data
bus width. DMA operations may be set up for 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit data widths, and can
be either big-endian or little-endian. Incrementing or non-incrementing addressing for
source and destination are supported, as well as programmable DMA burst size. 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.
6.9.1 DMA support for peripherals
The GPDMA supports the following peripherals: SPI0/1/2 and UART0/1. The GPDMA can
access both embedded SRAM blocks, both TCMs, external static memory, and flash
memory.
6.9.2 Clock description
The DMA controller is clocked by CLK_SYS_DMA derived from BASE_SYS_CLK, see
Section 6.7.2.
6.10 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 bus supports hot plugging and dynamic
configuration of the devices. All transactions are initiated by the Host controller.
The LPC2921/2923/2925 USB interface includes a device controller with on-chip PHY for
device. Details on typical USB interfacing solutions can be found in Section 10.2.
6.10.1 USB device controller
The device controller enables 12 Mbit/s data exchange with a USB Host controller. It
consists of a register interface, serial interface engine, endpoint buffer memory, and a
DMA controller. The serial interface engine decodes the USB data stream and writes data
to the appropriate endpoint buffer. The status of a completed USB transfer or error
condition is indicated via status registers. An interrupt is also generated if enabled. When
enabled, the DMA controller transfers data between the endpoint buffer and the on-chip
SRAM.

6.11 General subsystem
6.11.1 General subsystem clock description
The general subsystem is clocked by CLK_SYS_GESS, see Section 6.7.2.
6.11.2 Chip and feature identification
The Chip/Feature ID (CFID) module contains registers which show and control the
functionality of the chip. It contains an ID to identify the silicon and also registers
containing information about the features enabled or disabled on the chip.
The key features are:
• Identification of product
• Identification of features enabled
The CFID has no external pins.
6.11.3 System Control Unit (SCU)
The system control unit contains system-related functions.The key feature is configuration
of the I/O port-pins multiplexer. It defines the function of each I/O pin of the
LPC2921/2923/2925. The I/O pin configuration should be consistent with peripheral
function usage.
The SCU has no external pins.
6.11.4 Event router
The event router provides bus-controlled routing of input events to the vectored interrupt
controller for use as interrupt or wake-up signals.
Key features:
• Up to 16 level-sensitive external interrupt pins, including the receive pins of SPI, CAN,
LIN, and UART, as well as the I2C-bus SCL pins plus three internal event sources.
• Input events can be used as interrupt source either directly or latched
(edge-detected).
•
•
•
•
•
Direct events disappear when the event becomes inactive.
Latched events remain active until they are explicitly cleared.
Programmable input level and edge polarity.
Event detection maskable.
Event detection is fully asynchronous, so no clock is required.
The event router allows the event source to be defined, its polarity and activation type to
be selected and the interrupt to be masked or enabled. The event router can be used to
start a clock on an external event.
The vectored interrupt-controller inputs are active HIGH.

• Watchdog control register change-protected with key
• Programmable 32-bit watchdog timer period with programmable 32-bit prescaler.
6.12.2.1
Functional description
The watchdog timer consists of a 32-bit counter with a 32-bit prescaler.
The watchdog should be programmed with a time-out value and then periodically
restarted. When the watchdog times out, it generates a reset through the RGU.
To generate watchdog interrupts in watchdog debug mode the interrupt has to be enabled
via the interrupt enable register. A watchdog-overflow interrupt can be cleared by writing
to the clear-interrupt register.
Another way to prevent resets during debug mode is via the Pause feature of the
watchdog timer. The watchdog is stalled when the ARM9 is in debug mode and the
PAUSE_ENABLE bit in the watchdog timer control register is set.
The Watchdog Reset output is fed to the Reset Generator Unit (RGU). The RGU contains
a reset source register to identify the reset source when the device has gone through a
reset. See Section 6.15.4.
6.12.2.2
Clock description
The watchdog timer is clocked by two different clocks; CLK_SYS_PESS and CLK_SAFE,
see Section 6.7.2. The register interface towards the system bus is clocked by
CLK_SYS_PESS. The timer and prescale counters are clocked by CLK_SAFE which is
always on.
6.12.3 Timer
The LPC2921/2923/2925 contains six identical timers: four in the peripheral subsystem
and two in the Modulation and Sampling Control SubSystem (MSCSS) located at different
peripheral base addresses. This section describes the four timers in the peripheral
subsystem. Each timer has four capture inputs and/or match outputs. Connection to
device pins depends on the configuration programmed into the port function-select
registers. The two timers located in the MSCSS have no external capture or match pins,
but the memory map is identical, see Section 6.14.6. One of these timers has an external
input for a pause function.
The key features are:
• 32-bit timer/counter with programmable 32-bit prescaler.
• Up to four 32-bit capture channels per timer. These take a snapshot of the timer value
when an external signal connected to the TIMERx CAPn input changes state. A
capture event may also optionally generate an interrupt.
• Four 32-bit match registers per timer 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 per timer corresponding to match registers, with the
following capabilities:
– Set LOW on match.

– Set HIGH on match.
– Toggle on match.
– Do nothing on match.
• Pause input pin (MSCSS timers only).
The timers are designed to count cycles of the clock and optionally generate interrupts or
perform other actions at specified timer values, based on four match registers. They also
include capture inputs to trap the timer value when an input signal changes state,
optionally generating an interrupt. The core function of the timers consists of a 32 bit
prescale counter triggering the 32 bit timer counter. Both counters run on clock
CLK_TMRx (x runs from 0 to 3) and all time references are related to the period of this
clock. Note that each timer has its individual clock source within the Peripheral
SubSystem. In the Modulation and Sampling SubSystem each timer also has its own
individual clock source. See Section 6.15.5 for information on generation of these clocks.
6.12.3.1
Pin description
The four timers in the peripheral subsystem of the LPC2921/2923/2925 have the pins

external pins except for the pause pin on MSCSS timer 1. See Section 6.14.6 for a
description of these timers and their associated pins. The timer pins are combined with
other functions on the port pins of the LPC2921/2923/2925, see Section 6.11.3. Table

from the same base clock BASE_CLK_TMR. The register interface towards the system
bus is clocked by CLK_SYS_PESS. The timer and prescale counters are clocked by

• Internal loopback test mode.
The SPI module can operate in:
• Master mode:
– Normal transmission mode
– Sequential slave mode
• Slave mode
6.12.5.1
Functional description
The SPI module is a master or slave interface for synchronous serial communication with
peripheral devices that have either Motorola SPI or Texas Instruments Synchronous Serial
Interfaces.
The SPI module performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data received from a peripheral
device. The transmit and receive paths are buffered with FIFO memories (16 bits wide ×
32 words deep). Serial data is transmitted on pins SDOx and received on pins SDIx.
The SPI module includes a programmable bit-rate clock divider and prescaler to generate
the SPI serial clock from the input clock CLK_SPIx.
The SPI module’s operating mode, frame format, and word size are programmed through
the SLVn_SETTINGS registers.
A single combined interrupt request SPI_INTREQ output is asserted if any of the
interrupts are asserted and unmasked.
Depending on the operating mode selected, the SPI SCS outputs operate as an
active-HIGH frame synchronization output for Texas Instruments synchronous serial
frame format or an active-LOW chip select for SPI.
Each data frame is between four and 16 bits long, depending on the size of words
programmed, and is transmitted starting with the MSB.
6.12.5.2
Pin description
The SPI pins are combined with other functions on the port pins of the

Clock description
The SPI modules are clocked by two different clocks; CLK_SYS_PESS and CLK_SPIx

power management. The frequency of all clocks CLK_SPIx is identical as they are derived
from the same base clock BASE_CLK_SPI. The register interface towards the system bus
is clocked by CLK_SYS_PESS. The serial-clock rate divisor is clocked by CLK_SPIx.
The SPI clock frequency can be controlled by the CGU. In master mode the SPI clock
frequency (CLK_SPIx) must be set to at least twice the SPI serial clock rate on the
interface. In slave mode CLK_SPIx must be set to four times the SPI serial clock rate on
the interface.
6.12.6 General-purpose I/O
The LPC2921/2923/2925 contains two general-purpose I/O ports located at different
peripheral base addresses. All I/O pins are bidirectional, and the direction can be
programmed individually. The I/O pad behavior depends on the configuration programmed
in the port function-select registers.
The key features are:
•
•
•
•
6.12.6.1
General-purpose parallel inputs and outputs.
Direction control of individual bits.
Synchronized input sampling for stable input-data values.
All I/O pins default to input at reset to avoid any possible bus conflicts.
Functional description
The general-purpose I/O provides individual control over each bidirectional port pin. There
are two registers to control I/O direction and output level. The inputs are synchronized to
achieve stable read-levels.
To generate an open-drain output, set the bit in the output register to the desired value.
Use the direction register to control the signal. When set to output, the output driver
actively drives the value on the output. When set to input, the signal floats and can be
pulled up internally or externally.

6.13.3 I2C-bus serial I/O controllers
The LPC2921/2923/2925 each contain two 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 as 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 is a multi-master bus, and it can be
controlled by more than one bus master connected to it.
The main features if the I2C-bus interfaces are:
• I2C0 and I2C1 use standard I/O pins with bit rates of up to 400 kbit/s (Fast I2C-bus)
and do not support powering off of individual devices connected to the same bus
lines.
• Easy to configure as master, slave, or master/slave.

6.14 Modulation and Sampling Control SubSystem (MSCSS)
The Modulation and Sampling Control Subsystem (MSCSS) in the LPC2921/2923/2925
includes four Pulse-Width Modulators (PWMs), two 10-bit successive approximation
Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) and two timers.
The key features of the MSCSS are:
• Two 10-bit, 400 ksamples/s, 8-channel ADCs with 3.3 V inputs and various triggerstart options.
• Four 6-channel PWMs (Pulse-Width Modulators) with capture and trap functionality.
• Two dedicated timers to schedule and synchronize the PWMs and ADCs.
• Quadrature encoder interface.
6.14.1 Functional description
The MSCSS contains Pulse-Width Modulators (PWMs), Analog-to-Digital Converters
(ADCs) and timers.
Figure 5 provides an overview of the MSCSS. An AHB-to-APB bus bridge takes care of
communication with the AHB system bus. Two internal timers are dedicated to this
subsystem. MSCSS timer 0 can be used to generate start pulses for the ADCs and the
first PWM. The second timer (MSCSS timer 1) is used to generate ‘carrier’ signals for the
PWMs. These carrier patterns can be used, for example, in applications requiring current
control. Several other trigger possibilities are provided for the ADCs (external, cascaded
or following a PWM). The capture inputs of both timers can also be used to capture the
start pulse of the ADCs.

The PWMs can be used to generate waveforms in which the frequency, duty cycle and
rising and falling edges can be controlled very precisely. Capture inputs are provided to
measure event phases compared to the main counter. Depending on the applications,
these inputs can be connected to digital sensor motor outputs or digital external signals.
Interrupt signals are generated on several events to closely interact with the CPU.
The ADCs can be used for any application needing accurate digitized data from analog
sources. To support applications like motor control, a mechanism to synchronize several
PWMs and ADCs is available (sync_in and sync_out).
Note that the PWMs run on the PWM clock and the ADCs on the ADC clock, see
Section 6.15.2.

6.14.3 Clock description
The MSCSS is clocked from a number of different sources:
•
•
•
•
CLK_SYS_MSCSS_A clocks the AHB side of the AHB-to-APB bus bridge
CLK_MSCSS_APB clocks the subsystem APB bus
CLK_MSCSS_MTMR0/1 clocks the timers
CLK_MSCSS_PWM0:3 clocks the PWMs.
Each ADC has two clock areas; an APB part clocked by CLK_MSCSS_ADCx_APB (x = 1
or 2) and a control part for the analog section clocked by CLK_ADCx = 1 or 2), see
Section 6.7.2.
All clocks are derived from the BASE_MSCSS_CLK, except for CLK_SYS_MSCSS_A
which is derived form BASE_SYS_CLK, and the CLK_ADCx clocks which are derived
from BASE_CLK_ADC. If specific PWM or ADC modules are not used their corresponding
clocks can be switched off.
6.14.4 Analog-to-digital converter
The MSCSS in the LPC2921/2923/2925 includes two 10-bit successive-approximation
analog-to-digital converters.
The key features of the ADC interface module are:
• ADC1 and ADC2: Eight analog inputs; time-multiplexed; measurement range up to
3.3 V.
• External reference-level inputs.
• 400 ksamples per second at 10-bit resolution up to 1500 ksamples per second at
2-bit resolution.
• Programmable resolution from 2-bit to 10-bit.
• Single analog-to-digital conversion scan mode and continuous analog-to-digital
conversion scan mode.
• Optional conversion on transition on external start input, timer capture/match signal,
PWM_sync or ‘previous’ ADC.
• Converted digital values are stored in a register for each channel.
• Optional compare condition to generate a ‘less than’ or an ‘equal to or greater than’
compare-value indication for each channel.
• Power-down mode.
6.14.4.1
Functional description
The ADC block diagram, Figure 6, shows the basic architecture of each ADC. The ADC
functionality is divided into two major parts; one part running on the MSCSS Subsystem
clock, the other on the ADC clock. This split into two clock domains affects the behavior
from a system-level perspective. The actual analog-to-digital conversions take place in the
ADC clock domain, but system control takes place in the system clock domain.

NXP Semiconductors
ARM9 microcontroller with CAN, LIN, and USB
A mechanism is provided to modify configuration of the ADC and control the moment at
which the updated configuration is transferred to the ADC domain.
The ADC clock is limited to 4.5 MHz maximum frequency and should always be lower than
or equal to the system clock frequency. To meet this constraint or to select the desired
lower sampling frequency, the clock generation unit provides a programmable fractional
system-clock divider dedicated to the ADC clock. Conversion rate is determined by the
ADC clock frequency divided by the number of resolution bits plus one. Accessing ADC
registers requires an enabled ADC clock, which is controllable via the clock generation
unit, see Section 6.15.2.
Each ADC has four start inputs. Note that start 0 and start 2 are captured in the system
clock domain while start 1 and start 3 are captured in the ADC domain. The start inputs
are connected at MSCSS level, see Section 6.14 for details.

Clock description
The ADC modules are clocked from two different sources; CLK_MSCSS_ADCx_APB and
CLK_ADCx (x = 1 or 2), see Section 6.7.2. Note that each ADC has its own CLK_ADCx
and CLK_MSCSS_ADCx_APB branch clocks for power management. If an ADC is
unused both its CLK_MSCSS_ADCx_APB and CLK_ADCx can be switched off.
The frequency of all the CLK_MSCSS_ADCx_APB clocks is identical to
CLK_MSCSS_APB since they are derived from the same base clock
BASE_MSCSS_CLK. Likewise the frequency of all the CLK_ADCx clocks is identical
since they are derived from the same base clock BASE_ADC_CLK.
The register interface towards the system bus is clocked by CLK_MSCSS_ADCx_APB.
Control logic for the analog section of the ADC is clocked by CLK_ADCx, see also
Figure 6.
6.14.5 Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)
The MSCSS in the LPC2921/2923/2925 includes four PWM modules with the following
features.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Six pulse-width modulated output signals
Double edge features (rising and falling edges programmed individually)
Optional interrupt generation on match (each edge)
Different operation modes: continuous or run-once
16-bit PWM counter and 16-bit prescale counter allow a large range of PWM periods
A protective mode (TRAP) holding the output in a software-controllable state and with
optional interrupt generation on a trap event
• Three capture registers and capture trigger pins with optional interrupt generation on
a capture event
• Interrupt generation on match event, capture event, PWM counter overflow or trap
event
• A burst mode mixing the external carrier signal with internally generated PWM
• Programmable sync-delay output to trigger other PWM modules (master/slave
behavior)
6.14.5.1
Functional description
The ability to provide flexible waveforms allows PWM blocks to be used in multiple
applications; e.g. dimmer/lamp control and fan control. Pulse-width modulation is the
preferred method for regulating power since no additional heat is generated, and it is
energy-efficient when compared with linear-regulating voltage control networks.
The PWM delivers the waveforms/pulses of the desired duty cycles and cycle periods. A
very basic application of these pulses can be in controlling the amount of power
transferred to a load. Since the duty cycle of the pulses can be controlled, the desired
amount of power can be transferred for a controlled duration. Two examples of such
applications are:
• Dimmer controller: The flexibility of providing waves of a desired duty cycle and cycle
period allows the PWM to control the amount of power to be transferred to the load.
The PWM functions as a dimmer controller in this application.

controlled to have a certain pattern sequence. In this way the force/torque of the
motor can be adjusted as desired. This makes the PWM function as a motor drive.

PWM block diagram
The PWM block diagram in Figure 7 shows the basic architecture of each PWM. PWM
functionality is split into two major parts, a APB domain and a PWM domain, both of which
run on clocks derived from the BASE_MSCSS_CLK. This split into two domains affects
behavior from a system-level perspective. The actual PWM and prescale counters are
located in the PWM domain but system control takes place in the APB domain.
The actual PWM consists of two counters; a 16-bit prescale counter and a 16-bit PWM
counter. The position of the rising and falling edges of the PWM outputs can be
programmed individually. The prescale counter allows high system bus frequencies to be
scaled down to lower PWM periods. Registers are available to capture the PWM counter
values on external events.
Note that in the Modulation and Sampling SubSystem, each PWM has its individual clock
source CLK_MSCSS_PWMx (x runs from 0 to 3). Both the prescale and the timer
counters within each PWM run on this clock CLK_MSCSS_PWMx, and all time references
are related to the period of this clock. See Section 6.15 for information on generation of
these clocks.
6.14.5.2
Synchronizing the PWM counters
A mechanism is included to synchronize the PWM period to other PWMs by providing a
sync input and a sync output with programmable delay. Several PWMs can be
synchronized using the trans_enable_in/trans_enable_out and sync_in/sync_out ports.
See Figure 5 for details of the connections of the PWM modules within the MSCSS in the
LPC2921/2923/2925. PWM0 can be master over PWM1; PWM1 can be master over
PWM2, etc.

6.14.5.3
Master and slave mode
A PWM module can provide synchronization signals to other modules (also called Master
mode). The signal sync_out is a pulse of one clock cycle generated when the internal
PWM counter (re)starts. The signal trans_enable_out is a pulse synchronous to sync_out,
generated if a transfer from system registers to PWM shadow registers occurred when the
PWM counter restarted. A delay may be inserted between the counter start and
generation of trans_enable_out and sync_out.
A PWM module can use input signals trans_enable_in and sync_in to synchronize its
internal PWM counter and the transfer of shadow registers (Slave mode).

Note that each PWM has its own CLK_MSCSS_PWMx branch clock for power
management. The frequency of all these clocks is identical to CLK_MSCSS_APB since
they are derived from the same base clock BASE_MSCSS_CLK.
Also note that unlike the timer modules in the Peripheral SubSystem, the actual timer
counter registers of the PWM modules run at the same clock as the APB system interface
CLK_MSCSS_APB. This clock is independent of the AHB system clock.
If a PWM module is not used its CLK_MSCSS_PWMx branch clock can be switched off.
6.14.6 Timers in the MSCSS
The two timers in the MSCSS are functionally identical to the timers in the peripheral
subsystem, see Section 6.12.3. The features of the timers in the MSCSS are the same as
the timers in the peripheral subsystem, but the capture inputs and match outputs are not
available on the device pins. These signals are instead connected to the ADC and PWM
modules as outlined in the description of the MSCSS, see Section 6.14.1.
See Section 6.12.3 for a functional description of the timers.

6.14.7 Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI)
A quadrature encoder, also known as a 2-channel incremental encoder, converts angular
displacement into two pulse signals. By monitoring both the number of pulses and the
relative phase of the two signals, the user can track the position, direction of rotation, and
velocity. In addition, a third channel, or index signal, can be used to reset the position
counter. The quadrature encoder interface decodes the digital pulses from a quadrature
encoder wheel to integrate position over time and determine direction of rotation. In
addition, the QEI can capture the velocity of the encoder wheel.
The QEI has the following features:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

•
•
Tracks encoder position.
Increments/ decrements depending on direction.
Programmable for 2x or 4x position counting.

Uses 32-bit registers for position and velocity.
Three position compare registers with interrupts.
Index counter for revolution counting.
Index compare register with interrupts.
Can combine index and position interrupts to produce an interrupt for whole and
partial revolution displacement.
• Digital filter with programmable delays for encoder input signals.
• Can accept decoded signal inputs (clk and direction).
• Connected to APB.

Block diagram of the CGU0 (see Table 24 for all base clocks)
There are two primary clock generators: a low-power ring oscillator (LP_OSC) and a
crystal oscillator. See Figure 9.
LP_OSC is the source for the BASE_PCR_CLK that clocks the CGU itself and for
BASE_SAFE_CLK that clocks a minimum of other logic in the device (like the watchdog
timer). To prevent the device from losing its clock source LP_OSC cannot be put into
power-down. The crystal oscillator can be used as source for high-frequency clocks or as
an external clock input if a crystal is not connected.
Secondary clock generators are a PLL and seven fractional dividers (FDIV0:6). The PLL
has three clock outputs: normal, 120° phase-shifted and 240° phase-shifted.

Fig 10. Structure of the clock generation scheme
Any output generator (except for BASE_SAFE_CLK and BASE_PCR_CLK) can be
connected to either a fractional divider (FDIV0:6) or to one of the outputs of the PLL or to
LP_OSC/crystal oscillator directly. BASE_SAFE_CLK and BASE_PCR_CLK can use only
LP_OSC as source.
The fractional dividers can be connected to one of the outputs of the PLL or directly to
LP_OSC/crystal Oscillator.
The PLL is connected to the crystal oscillator.
In this way every output generating the base clocks can be configured to get the required
clock. Multiple output generators can be connected to the same primary or secondary
clock source, and multiple secondary clock sources can be connected to the same PLL
output or primary clock source.
Invalid selections/programming - connecting the PLL to an FDIV or to one of the PLL
outputs itself for example - will be blocked by hardware. The control register will not be
written, the previous value will be kept, although all other fields will be written with new
data. This prevents clocks being blocked by incorrect programming.
Default Clock Sources: Every secondary clock generator or output generator is
connected to LP_OSC at reset. In this way the device runs at a low frequency after reset.
It is recommended to switch BASE_SYS_CLK to a high-frequency clock generator as
(one of) the first step(s) in the boot code after verifying that the high-frequency clock
generator is running.
Clock Activity Detection: Clocks that are inactive are automatically regarded as invalid,
and values of ‘CLK_SEL’ that would select those clocks are masked and not written to the
control registers. This is accomplished by adding a clock detector to every clock

LPC2921/2923/2925
NXP Semiconductors
ARM9 microcontroller with CAN, LIN, and USB
generator. The RDET register keeps track of which clocks are active and inactive, and the
appropriate ‘CLK_SEL’ values are masked and unmasked accordingly. Each clock
detector can also generate interrupts at clock activation and deactivation so that the
system can be notified of a change in internal clock status.
Clock detection is done using a counter running at the BASE_PCR_CLK frequency. If no
positive clock edge occurs before the counter has 32 cycles of BASE_PCR_CLK the clock
is assumed to be inactive. As BASE_PCR_CLK is slower than any of the clocks to be
detected, normally only one BASE_PCR_CLK cycle is needed to detect activity. After
reset all clocks are assumed to be ‘non-present’, so the RDET status register will be
correct only after 32 BASE_PCR_CLK cycles.
Note that this mechanism cannot protect against a currently-selected clock going from
active to inactive state. Therefore an inactive clock may still be sent to the system under
special circumstances, although an interrupt can still be generated to notify the system.
Glitch-Free Switching: Provisions are included in the CGU to allow clocks to be switched
glitch-free, both at the output generator stage and also at secondary source generators.
In the case of the PLL the clock will be stopped and held low for long enough to allow the
PLL to stabilize and lock before being re-enabled. For all non-PLL Generators the switch
will occur as quickly as possible, although there will always be a period when the clock is
held low due to synchronization requirements.
If the current clock is high and does not go low within 32 cycles of BASE_PCR_CLK it is
assumed to be inactive and is asynchronously forced low. This prevents deadlocks on the
interface.
6.15.2.2
PLL functional description
A block diagram of the PLL is shown in Figure 11. The input clock is fed directly to the
analog section. This block compares the phase and frequency of the inputs and generates
the main clock2. These clocks are either divided by 2 × P by the programmable post
divider to create the output clock, or sent directly to the output. The main output clock is
then divided by M by the programmable feedback divider to generate the feedback clock.
The output signal of the analog section is also monitored by the lock detector to signal
when the PLL has locked onto the input clock.

Triple output phases: For applications that require multiple clock phases two additional
clock outputs can be enabled by setting register P23EN to logic 1, thus giving three clocks
with a 120° phase difference. In this mode all three clocks generated by the analog
section are sent to the output dividers. When the PLL has not yet achieved lock the
second and third phase output dividers run unsynchronized, which means that the phase
relation of the output clocks is unknown. When the PLL LOCK register is set the second
and third phase of the output dividers are synchronized to the main output clock CLKOUT
PLL, thus giving three clocks with a 120° phase difference.
Direct output mode: In normal operating mode (with DIRECT set to logic 0) the CCO
clock is divided by 2, 4, 8 or 16 depending on the value on the PSEL[1:0] input, giving an
output clock with a 50 % duty cycle. If a higher output frequency is needed the CCO clock
can be sent directly to the output by setting DIRECT to logic 1. Since the CCO does not
directly generate a 50 % duty cycle clock, the output clock duty cycle in this mode can
deviate from 50 %.
Power-down control: A Power-down mode has been incorporated to reduce power
consumption when the PLL clock is not needed. This is enabled by setting the PD control
register bit. In this mode the analog section of the PLL is turned off, the oscillator and the
phase-frequency detector are stopped and the dividers enter a reset state. While in
Power-down mode the LOCK output is low, indicating that the PLL is not in lock. When
Power-down mode is terminated by clearing the PD control-register bit the PLL resumes
normal operation, and makes the LOCK signal high once it has regained lock on the input
clock.

The CGU1 block is functionally identical to the CGU0 block and generates the clock for
the USB interface and a dedicated output clock. The CGU1 block uses its own PLL and
fractional divider. The PLLs used in CGU0 and CGU1 are identical (see Section 6.15.2.2).
The clock input to the CGU1 PLL is provided by one of two base clocks generated in the
CGU0: BASE_ICLK0_CLK or BASE_ICLK1_CLK. The base clock not used for the PLL
can be configured to drive the output clock directly.

Functional description
Each reset output is defined as a combination of reset input sources including the external
reset input pins and internal power-on reset, see Table 27. The first five resets listed in this
table form a sort of cascade to provide the multiple levels of impact that a reset may have.

Using the base clocks from the CGU as input, the PMU generates branch clocks to the
rest of the LPC2921/2923/2925. Output clocks branched from the same base clock are
phase- and frequency-related. These branch clocks can be individually controlled by
software programming.
The key features are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
6.15.5.1
Individual clock control for all LPC2921/2923/2925 sub-modules.
Activates sleeping clocks when a wake-up event is detected.
Clocks can be individually disabled by software.
Supports AHB master-disable protocol when AUTO mode is set.
Disables wake-up of enabled clocks when Power-down mode is set.
Activates wake-up of enabled clocks when a wake-up event is received.
Status register is available to indicate if an input base clock can be safely switched off
(i.e. all branch clocks are disabled).
Functional description
The PMU controls all internal clocks coming out of the CGU0 for power-mode
management. With some exceptions, each branch clock can be switched on or off
individually under control of software register bits located in its individual configuration
register. Some branch clocks controlling vital parts of the device operate in a fixed mode.
Table 29 shows which mode- control bits are supported by each branch clock.
By programming the configuration register the user can control which clocks are switched
on or off, and which clocks are switched off when entering Power-down mode.
Note that the standby-wait-for-interrupt instructions of the ARM968E-S processor (putting
the ARM CPU into a low-power state) are not supported. Instead putting the ARM CPU
into power-down should be controlled by disabling the branch clock for the CPU.
Remark: For any disabled branch clocks to be re-activated their corresponding base
clocks must be running (controlled by the CGU0).
Table 29 shows the relation between branch and base clocks, see also Section 6.7.1.
Every branch clock is related to one particular base clock: it is not possible to switch the
source of a branch clock in the PMU.

6.16 Vectored interrupt controller
The LPC2921/2923/2925 contains a very flexible and powerful Vectored Interrupt
Controller (VIC) to interrupt the ARM processor on request.
The key features are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Level-active interrupt request with programmable polarity.
56 interrupt-request inputs.
Software-interrupt request capability associated with each request input.
Interrupt request state can be observed before masking.
Software-programmable priority assignments to interrupt requests up to 15 levels.
Software-programmable routing of interrupt requests towards the ARM-processor
inputs IRQ and FIQ.
• Fast identification of interrupt requests through vector.
• Support for nesting of interrupt service routines.
6.16.1 Functional description
The Vectored Interrupt Controller routes incoming interrupt requests to the ARM
processor. The interrupt target is configured for each interrupt request input of the VIC.
The targets are defined as follows:
• Target 0 is ARM processor FIQ (fast interrupt service).
• Target 1 is ARM processor IRQ (standard interrupt service).
Interrupt-request masking is performed individually per interrupt target by comparing the
priority level assigned to a specific interrupt request with a target-specific priority
threshold. The priority levels are defined as follows:
• Priority level 0 corresponds to ‘masked’ (i.e. interrupt requests with priority 0 never
lead to an interrupt).
• Priority 1 corresponds to the lowest priority.

All parameters are guaranteed over the virtual junction temperature range by design. Pre-testing is performed at Tamb = 85 °C on wafer
level. Cased products are tested at Tamb = 25 °C (final testing). Both pre-testing and final testing use correlated test conditions to cover
the specified temperature and power-supply voltage range.
[2]
Leakage current is exponential to temperature; worst-case value is at 85 °C Tvj. All clocks off. Analog modules and FLASH powered
down.
[3]
For I/O Port 0, the maximum input voltage is defined by VI(ADC).
[4]
Not 5 V-tolerant when pull-up is on.
[5]
For Port 0, pin 0 to pin 15 add maximum 1.5 pF for input capacitance to ADC. For Port 0, pin 16 to pin 31 add maximum 1.0 pF for input
capacitance to ADC.
[6]
Cxtal is crystal load capacitance and Cext are the two external load capacitors.
[7]
This parameter is not part of production testing or final testing, hence only a typical value is stated. Maximum and minimum values are
based on simulation results.
[8]
The power-up reset has a time filter: VDD(CORE) must be above Vtrip(high) for 2 µs before reset is de-asserted; VDD(CORE) must be below
Vtrip(low) for 11 µs before internal reset is asserted.

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 14.
[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 14.
[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 14.
[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 14.
[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 14.

10.4 XIN_OSC input
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 recommended that the input be coupled through a capacitor 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 mVrms is needed. For more details see the LPC29xx User
manual UM10316.

10.5 XIN_OSC 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 Cx1 and 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 noise coupled in via the PCB as small as possible. Also
parasitics 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.

12. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow
soldering description”.
12.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high
densities that come with increased miniaturization.
12.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
• Through-hole components
• Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,
due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages
Package placement
Inspection and repair
Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering
12.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
• Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are
exposed to the wave
• Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

12.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 33) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
• Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with
Table 40 and 41
Table 40.

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 33.
