1. General description
The LPC1759/58/56/54/52/51 are ARM Cortex-M3 based microcontrollers for embedded
applications featuring a high level of integration and low power consumption. The ARM
Cortex-M3 is a next generation core that offers system enhancements such as enhanced
debug features and a higher level of support block integration.

incorporates a 3-stage pipeline and uses a Harvard arc hit ec tu re with s eparate loca l
instruction and data buses as well as a third bus for peripherals. The ARM Cortex-M3
CPU also includes an internal prefetch unit that supports speculative branching.
The peripheral complement of the LPC1759/58/56/ 54/52/51 includes up to 512 kB of flash
memory, up to 64 kB of data memory, Ethernet MAC, USB Device/Host/OTG interface,

8. Functional description
8.1 Architectural overview
The ARM Cortex-M3 includes three AHB-Lite buses: the system bus, the I-code bus, and
the D-code bus (see Figure 1
system bus and are used similarly to Tightly Coupled Memory (TCM) interfaces: one bus
dedicated for instruction fetch (I-code) and one bus for data access (D-code). The use of
two core buses allows for simultaneous operations if concurr ent operations target dif ferent
devices.
The LPC1759/58/56/54/52/51 use a multi-layer AHB matrix to connect the ARM
Cortex-M3 buses and other bus masters to peripherals in a flexible manner that optimizes
performance by allowing peripherals that are on different slaves ports of th e matrix to be
accessed simultaneously by different bus masters.
8.2 ARM Cortex-M3 processor
The ARM Cortex-M3 is a general purpose, 32-bit microprocessor, which offers high
performance and very low power consumption. The ARM Cortex-M3 offer s ma ny new
features, including a Thumb-2 instruction set, low interrupt latency, hardware division,
hardware single-cycle multiply, interruptable/continuable multiple load and store
instructions, automatic state save and restore for interrupts, tightly integrated interrupt
controller with wakeup interrupt controller, and multiple core buses capable of
simultaneous accesses.

). The I-code and D-code core buses are faster than the
Pipeline techniques are employed so that all part s of the pro cessing and memory systems
can operate continuously. Typically , while on e in struction is b eing e xecuted, its successor
is being decoded, and a third instruction is being fetched from memory.
The ARM Cortex-M3 processor is described in detail in the Cortex-M3 Technical
Reference Manual that can be found on official ARM website.
8.3 On-chip flash program memory
The LPC1759/58/56/54/52/51 contain up to 512 kB of on-chip flash memory. A new
two-port flash accelerator maximizes performance for use with the two fast AHB-Lite
buses.
8.4 On-chip SRAM
The LPC1759/58/56/54/52/51 contain a total of up to 64 kB on-chip static RAM memory.
This includes the main 32/16/8 kB SRAM, accessible by the CPU and DMA co ntroller on a
higher-speed bus, and up to two additional 16 kB each SRAM blocks situated on a
separate slave port on the AHB multilayer matrix.
This architecture allows CPU and DMA accesses to be spread over three separate RAMs
that can be accessed simultaneously.

NXP Semiconductors
8.5 Memory Protection Unit (MPU)
The LPC1759/58/56/54/52/51 have a Memory Protection Unit (MPU) which can be used
to improve the reliability of an embedded system by protecting critical data within the user
application.
The MPU allows separating processing tasks by disallowing access to each other's data,
disabling access to memory regions, allowing memory regions to be defined as re ad -onl y
and detecting unexpected memory accesses that could potentially break the system.
The MPU separates the memory into distinct regions and implements protection by
preventing disallowed accesses. The MPU supports up to 8 regions each of which can be
divided into 8 subregions. Accesses to memory locations that are not defined in the MPU
regions, or not permitted by the region settin g , will ca use the Memory Management Fault
exception to take place.
8.6 Memory map
The LPC1759/58/56/54/52/51 incorporate several distinct memory regions, shown in the
following figures. Figure 3

remapping.

The AHB peripheral area is 2 MB in size, and is divided to allow for up to 128 peripherals.
The APB peripheral area is 1 MB in size and is divided to allow for up to 64 peripherals.
Each peripheral of either type is allocated 16 kB of space. This allows simplifying the
address decoding for each peripheral.

The NVIC is an integral part of the Cortex-M3. The tight coup ling to the CPU allows for low
interrupt latency and efficient processing of late arriving interrupts.
8.7.1 Features
• Controls system exceptions and peripheral interrupts
• In the LPC1759/58/56/54/52/51, the NVIC supports 33 vectored interrupts
Each peripheral device has one interrupt line con nected to the NVIC but may have several
interrupt flags. Individual interrupt flags may also represent more than one interrupt
source.
LPC1759/58/56/54/52/51
32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
Any pin on Port 0 and Port 2 (total of 30 pins) regardless of the selected function, can be
programmed to generate an interrupt on a rising edge, a falling edge, or both.
8.8 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.
Most pins can also be configured as open-drain outputs or to have a pull-up, pull- down, or
no resistor enabled.
8.9 General purpose DMA controller
The GPDMA is an AMBA AHB compliant peripheral allowing selected
LPC1759/58/56/54/52/51 peripherals to have DMA support.
The GPDMA enables peripheral-to-memory, memory-to-peripheral,
peripheral-to-peripheral, and memory-to-memory transactions. The source and
destination areas can each be either a memory region or a peripheral, and can be
accessed through the AHB master. The GPDMA controller allows data transfers between
the USB and Ethernet (LPC1758 only) controllers and the various on-chip SRAM areas.
The supported APB peripherals are SSP0/1, all UARTs, the I
and the DAC. Two match signals for each timer can be used to trigger DMA transfers.

8.10 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 simult an eously. The value of the
output register may be read back as well as the current state of the port pins.

C-bus is bidirectional for inter-IC control using only two wires: a Serial Clock Line
The I
(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 sla ve mode, de pendin g on wheth er the chip has
to initiate a data transfer or is only addressed. The I
controlled by more than one bus master connected to it.

• I
C1 and I2C2 use standard I/O pins with bit rates of up to 400 kbit/s (Fast I2C-bus).
• Easy to configure as master, slave, or master/slave.
