LPC2387
Single-chip 16-bit/32-bit MCU
7.14.1 Features
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.
Fractional divider for baud rate control, auto baud capabilities and FIFO control
mechanism that enables software flow control implementation.
UART1 equipped with standard modem interface signals. This module also provides
full support for hardware flow control (auto-CTS/RTS).
UART3 includes an IrDA mode to support infrared communication.
7.15 SPI serial I/O controller
The LPC2387 contains one SPI controller. SPI is a full duplex serial interface designed to
handle multiple masters and slaves connected to a given bus. Only a single master and a
single slave can communicate on the interface during a given data transfer. During a data
transfer the master always sends 8 bits to 16 bits of data to the slave, and the slave
always sends 8 bits to 16 bits of data to the master.
7.15.1 Features
Compliant with SPI specification
Synchronous, serial, full duplex communication
Combined SPI master and slave
Maximum data bit rate of one eighth of the input clock rate
8 bits to 16 bits per transfer
7.16 SSP serial I/O controller
The LPC2387 contains two SSP controllers. The SSP controller is capable of operation 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 transfers, with frames of 4 bits to 16 bits of
data flowing from the master to the slave and from the slave to the master. In practice,
often only one of these data flows carries meaningful data.
7.16.1 Features
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
