LPC2378FBD144K IC MCU 16/32B 512KB FLSH 144LQFP

Description

The LPC2377/78 microcontrollers are 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 LPC2377/78 are 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 (LPC2378 only), four UARTs, two CAN channels (LPC2378 only), an SPI interface, two Synchronous Serial Ports (SSP), three I2C-bus interfaces, an I 2S-bus 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 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 suitable for industrial control and medical systems.
