Introduction
NXP Semiconductor designed the LPC2400 microcontrollers around a 16-bit/32-bit 
ARM7TDMI-S CPU core with real-time debug interfaces that include both JTAG and 
embedded Trace. The LPC2400 microcontrollers have 512 kB of on-chip high-speed 
Flash memory. This Flash memory includes a special 128-bit wide memory interface and 
accelerator architecture that enables the CPU to execute sequential instructions from 
Flash memory at the maximum 72 MHz system clock rate. This feature is available only 
on the LPC2000 ARM Microcontroller family of products. The LPC2400 can execute both 
32-bit ARM and 16-bit Thumb instructions. Support for the two Instruction Sets means 
Engineers can choose to optimize their application for either performance or code size at 
the sub-routine level. When the core executes instructions in Thumb state it can reduce 
code size by more than 30 % with only a small loss in performance while executing 
instructions in ARM state maximizes core performance.
The LPC2400 microcontrollers are ideal for multi-purpose communication applications. It 
incorporates a 10/100 Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC), a USB full speed 
device/host/OTG controller with 4 kB of endpoint RAM, four UARTs, two Controller Area 
Network (CAN) channels, an SPI interface, two Synchronous Serial Ports (SSP), three I
2
interfaces, and an I
2
S interface. Supporting this collection of serial communications 
interfaces are the following feature components; an on-chip 4 MHz internal precision 
oscillator, 98 kB of total RAM consisting of 64 kB of local SRAM, 16 kB SRAM for 
Ethernet, 16 kB SRAM for general purpose DMA, 2 kB of battery powered SRAM, and an 
External Memory Controller (EMC). These features make this device optimally suited for 
communication gateways and protocol converters. Complementing the many serial 
communication controllers, versatile clocking capabilities, and memory features are 
various 32-bit timers, an improved 10-bit ADC, 10-bit DAC, two PWM units, four external 
interrupt pins, and up to 160 fast GPIO lines. The LPC2400 connect 64 of the GPIO pins 
to the hardware based Vector Interrupt Controller (VIC) that means these external inputs 
can generate edge-triggered, interrupts. All of these features make the LPC2400 
particularly suitable for industrial control and medical systems.
