hola ! ARM

ARM-7 LPC2129

*MCU-> Microcontroller unit

This post is meant to introduce readers to a new platform. Presented here are few of the features of LPC2129. LPC2129 is a 32 bit MCU dev by the NXP semiconductors. It’s based on ARM 7 TDMI-s architecture. LPC 2129 is a very good tool for student projects coz it is readily available, and also costs reasonable.

Here are a few features of this MCU

· High-performance 32-bit RISC Microcontroller

· Thumb extensions

· 256KB on-chip Flash ROM

· In-System Programming (ISP) and In-Application Programming (IAP)

· 16KB RAM, Vectored Interrupt Controller,

· Two UARTs,

· I2C serial interface,

· 2 SPI serial interfaces

· Two timers (7 capture/compare channels),

· PWM unit with up to 6 PWM outputs,

· 4-channels 10bit ADC,

· 2 CAN channels.

· Real Time Clock,

· Watchdog Timer,

· General purpose I/O pins.

· CPU clock up to 60 MHz,

· On-chip crystal oscillator and

· On-chip PLL.
