Single-chip 16/32-bit microcontrollers; 32/64/128/256/512 kB ISP/IAP Flash with 10-bit ADC and DAC

 General description

The LPC2131/2132/2134/2136/2138 microcontrollers are based on a 32/16 bit ARM7TDMI-S CPU with real-time emulation and embedded trace support, that combines the microcontroller with 32 kB, 64 kB, 128 kB, 256 kB and 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 maximum clock rate. For critical code size applications, the alternative 16-bit Thumb mode reduces code by more than 30 % with minimal performance penalty.

Due to their tiny size and low power consumption, these microcontrollers are ideal for applications where miniaturization is a key requirement, such as access control and point-of-sale. With a wide range of serial communications interfaces and on-chip SRAM options of 8/16/32 kB, they are very well suited for communication gateways and protocol converters, soft modems, voice recognition and low end imaging, providing both large buffer size and high processing power. Various 32-bit timers, single or dual 10-bit 8 channel ADC(s), 10-bit DAC, PWM channels and 47 GPIO lines with up to nine edge or level sensitive external interrupt pins make these microcontrollers particularly suitable for industrial control and medical systems.

Limiting values

In accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 60134).^[1]

[1] The following applies to the Limiting values:

    a) Stresses above those listed under Limiting values may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or any conditions other than those described in Section 8 “Static characteristics”and Section 9 “Dynamic characteristics” of this specification is not implied.

    b) This product includes circuitry specifically designed for the protection of its internal devices from the damaging effects of excessive static charge. Nonetheless, it is suggested that conventional precautions be taken to avoid applying greater than the rated maximum.

    c) Parameters are valid over operating temperature range unless otherwise specified. All voltages are with respect to VSS unless otherwise noted.

[2] Including voltage on outputs in 3-state mode.

[3] Only valid when the VDD supply voltage is present.

[4] Not to exceed 4.6 V.

[5] The peak current is limited to 25 times the corresponding maximum current.

[6] Dependent on package type.
