The LPC2101/02/03 microcontrollers are based on a 16-bit/32-bit ARM7TDMI-S CPU with real-time emulation that combines the microcontroller with 8 kB, 16 kB or 32 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.
Enhanced features are available in parts LPC2101/02/03 labelled Revision A and higher :
- Deep power-down mode with option to retain SRAM memory and/or RTC.
- Three levels of flash Code Read Protection (CRP) implemented.
Key features :
- 16-bit/32-bit ARM7TDMI-S microcontroller in tiny LQFP48 and HVQFN48 packages.
- 2 kB/4 kB/8 kB of on-chip static RAM and 8 kB/16 kB/32 kB of on-chip flash program memory. 128-bit wide interface/accelerator enables high-speed 70 MHz operation.
