LPC1766
Fast communication chip
Eight channel General Purpose DMA controller (GPDMA) on the AHB multilayer
matrix that can be used with the SSP, I2S, UART, the Analog-to-Digital and
Digital-to-Analog converter peripherals, timer match signals, and for
memory-to-memory transfers.
Multilayer AHB matrix interconnect provides a separate bus for each AHB master.
AHB masters include the CPU, General Purpose DMA controller, Ethernet MAC, and
the USB interface. This interconnect provides communication with no arbitration
delays.
Split APB bus allows high throughput with few stalls between the CPU and DMA.
Serial interfaces:
Ethernet MAC with RMII interface and dedicated DMA controller.
USB 2.0 full-speed device/Host/OTG controller with dedicated DMA controller and
on-chip PHY for device, Host, and OTG functions.
Four UARTs with fractional baud rate generation, internal FIFO, DMA support, and
RS-485 support. One UART has modem control I/O, and one UART has IrDA
support.
CAN 2.0B controller with two channels.
SPI controller with synchronous, serial, full duplex communication and
programmable data length.
Two SSP controllers with FIFO and multi-protocol capabilities. The SSP interfaces
can be used with the GPDMA controller.
Two I2C-bus interfaces supporting fast mode with a data rate of 400 kbits/s with
multiple address recognition and monitor mode.
One I2C-bus interface supporting full I2C-bus specification and fast mode plus with
a data rate of 1 Mbit/s with multiple address recognition and monitor mode.
I2S (Inter-IC Sound) interface for digital audio input or output, with fractional rate
control. The I2S interface can be used with the GPDMA. The I2S interface supports
3-wire and 4-wire data transmit and receive as well as master clock input/output.
Other peripherals:
70 General Purpose I/O (GPIO) pins with configurable pull-up/down resistors and a
new, configurable open-drain operating mode.
12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with input multiplexing among eight pins,
conversion rates up to 1 MHz, and multiple result registers. The 12-bit ADC can be
used with the GPDMA controller.
10-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) with dedicated conversion timer and DMA
support.
Four general purpose timers/counters, with a total of eight capture inputs and ten
compare outputs. Each timer block has an external count input and DMA support.
One motor control PWM with support for three-phase motor control.
Quadrature encoder interface that can monitor one external quadrature encoder.
One standard PWM/timer block with external count input.
Real-Time Clock (RTC) with a separate power domain and dedicated RTC
oscillator. The RTC block includes 64 bytes of battery-powered backup registers.
Watchdog Timer (WDT) resets the microcontroller within a reasonable amount of
time if it enters an erroneous state.
System tick timer, including an external clock input option.
Repetitive interrupt timer provides programmable and repeating timed interrupts.
