LPC2361/62
Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit MCU
• 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
7.17 I
2
C-bus serial I/O controllers
The LPC2361/2362 each 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, it can be
controlled by more than one bus master connected to it.
The I
2
C-bus implemented in LPC2361/2362 supports bit rates up to 400 kbit/s (Fast
I
2
C-bus).
7.17.1 Features
• I
2
C0 is a standard I
2
C compliant bus interface with open-drain pins.
• I
2
C1 and I
2
C2 use standard I/O pins and do not support powering off of individual
devices connected to the same bus lines.
• 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.
7.18 I
2
S-bus serial I/O controllers
The I
2
S-bus provides a standard communication interface for digital audio applications.
The I
2
S-bus specification defines a 3-wire serial bus using one data line, one clock line,
and one word select signal. The basic I
2
S connection has one master, which is always the
master, and one slave. The I
2
S interface on the LPC2361/2362 provides a separate
transmit and receive channel, each of which can operate as either a master or a slave.
