LPC408x/7x
32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller
7.24.1 Features
Maximum SSP speed of 33 Mbit/s (master) or 10 Mbit/s (slave).
Compatible with Motorola SPI, 4-wire Texas Instruments SSI, and National
Semiconductor Microwire buses.
Synchronous serial communication.
Master or slave operation.
8-frame FIFOs for both transmit and receive.
4-bit to 16-bit frame.
DMA transfers supported by GPDMA.
7.25 I
2
C-bus serial I/O controllers
The LPC408x/7x contain three I
2
C-bus controllers.
The I
2
C-bus is bidirectional for inter-IC control using only two wires: a Serial Clock Line
(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 slave mode, depending on whether the chip has
to initiate a data transfer or is only addressed. The I
2
C is a multi-master bus and can be
controlled by more than one bus master connected to it.
7.25.1 Features
All I
2
C-bus controllers can use standard GPIO pins with bit rates of up to 400 kbit/s
(Fast I
2
C-bus). The I
2
C0-bus interface uses special open-drain pins with bit rates of
up to 400 kbit/s.
The I
2
C-bus interface supports Fast-mode Plus with bit rates up to 1 Mbit/s for I2C0
using pins P5[2] and P5[3].
Easy to configure as master, slave, or master/slave.
Programmable clocks allow versatile rate control.
Bidirectional data transfer between masters and slaves.
Multi-master bus (no central master).
Arbitration between simultaneously transmitting masters without corruption of serial
data on the bus.
Serial clock synchronization allows devices with different bit rates to communicate via
one serial bus.
Serial clock synchronization can be used as a handshake mechanism to suspend and
resume serial transfer.
The I
2
C-bus can be used for test and diagnostic purposes.
Both I
2
C-bus controllers support multiple address recognition and a bus monitor
mode.
7.26 I
2
S-bus serial I/O controllers
The LPC408x/7x contain one I
2
S-bus interface. The I
2
S-bus provides a standard
communication interface for digital audio applications.
