LPC11U3x
32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller
Under nominal operating condition V
DD
 = 3.3 V and with the maximum sampling 
frequency fs = 400 kHz, the parameters assume the following values:
C
ia
 = 1 pF (max)
R
mux
 = 2 kΩ (max)
R
sw
 = 1.3 kΩ (max)
C
io
 = 7.1 pF (max)
The effective input impedance with these parameters is R
in
 = 308 kΩ.
11.7 ADC usage notes
The following guidelines show how to increase the performance of the ADC in a noisy 
environment beyond the ADC specifications listed in Table 6
:
• The ADC input trace must be short and as close as possible to the LPC11U3x chip.
• Shield The ADC input traces from fast switching digital signals and noisy power 
supply lines.
• The ADC and the digital core share the same power supply. Therefore, filter the power 
supply line adequately.
• To improve the ADC performance in a noisy environment, put the device in Sleep 
mode during the ADC conversion.
11.8 I/O Handler software library applications
The following sections provide application examples for the I/O Handler software library. 
All library examples make use of the I/O Handler hardware to extend the functionality of 
the part through software library calls. The libraries are available on 
http://www.LPCware.com.
11.8.1 I/O Handler I
2
S
The I/O Handler software library provides functions to emulate an I
2
S master transmit 
interface using the I/O Handler hardware block. 
The emulated I
2
S interface loops over a 1 kB buffer, transmitting the datawords according 
to the I
2
S protocol. Interrupts are generated every time when the first 512 bytes have been 
transmitted and when the last 512 bytes have been transmitted. This allows the ARM core 
to load the free portion of the buffer with new data, thereby enabling streaming audio. 
Two channels with 16-bit per channel are supported. The code size of the software library 
is 1 kB and code must be executed from the SRAM1 memory area reserved for the I/O 
Handler code.
11.8.2 I/O Handler UART
The I/O Handler UART library emulates one additional full-duplex UART. The emulated 
UART can be configured for 7 or 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 or 2 stop bits. The baud rate 
is configurable up to 115200 baud. The RXD signal is available on three I/O Handler pins 
(IOH_6, IOH_16, IOH_20), while TXD and CTS are available on all 21 I/O Handler pins.
The code size of the software library is about 1.2 kB and code must be executed from the 
SRAM1 memory area reserved for the I/O Handler code.
