LPC185x/3x/2x/1x
32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
7.16.1.1 Features
Maximum UART data bit rate of 8 MBit/s.
16 B Receive and Transmit FIFOs.
Register locations conform to 16C550 industry standard.
Receiver FIFO trigger points at 1 B, 4 B, 8 B, and 14 B.
Built-in fractional baud rate generator covering wide range of baud rates without a
need for external crystals of particular values.
Auto baud capabilities and FIFO control mechanism that enables software flow
control implementation.
Equipped with standard modem interface signals. This module also provides full
support for hardware flow control (auto-CTS/RTS).
Support for RS-485/9-bit/EIA-485 mode (UART1).
DMA support.
7.16.2 USART
Remark: The LPC185x/3x/2x/1x contain three USARTs. In addition to standard transmit
and receive data lines, the USARTs support a synchronous mode and a smart card mode.
The USARTs include a fractional baud rate generator. Standard baud rates such as
115200 Bd can be achieved with any crystal frequency above 2 MHz.
7.16.2.1 Features
Maximum UART data bit rate of 8 MBit/s.
16 B Receive and Transmit FIFOs.
Register locations conform to 16C550 industry standard.
Receiver FIFO trigger points at 1 B, 4 B, 8 B, and 14 B.
Built-in fractional baud rate generator covering wide range of baud rates without a
need for external crystals of particular values.
Auto baud capabilities and FIFO control mechanism that enables software flow
control implementation.
Support for RS-485/9-bit/EIA-485 mode.
USART3 includes an IrDA mode to support infrared communication.
All USARTs have DMA support.
Support for synchronous mode at a data bit rate of up to 8 Mbit/s.
Smart card mode conforming to ISO7816 specification
7.16.3 SSP serial I/O controller
Remark: The LPC185x/3x/2x/1x contain two SSP controllers.
The SSP controller can operate on a SPI, 4-wire SSI, or Microwire bus. It can interact with
multiple masters and slaves on the bus. Only a single master and a single slave can
communicate on the bus during a given data transfer. The SSP supports full-duplex
