7.2 Pin description

The pin description table shows the pin functions that are fixed to specific pins on each
package. See Table 4. These fixed-pin functions are selectable through the switch matrix
between GPIO and the comparator, ADC, SWD, RESET, and the XTAL pins. By default,
the GPIO function is selected except on pins PIO0_2, PIO0_3, and PIO0_5. JTAG
functions are available in boundary scan mode only.

Movable functions for the I2C, USART, SPI, CTimer, SCT pins, and other peripherals can
be assigned through the switch matrix to any pin that is not power or ground in place of
the pin’s fixed functions.

The following exceptions apply:

Do not assign more than one output to any pin. However, an output and/or one or more
inputs can be assigned to a pin. Once any function is assigned to a pin, the pin’s GPIO
functionality is disabled.

Pin PIO0_4 triggers a wake-up from deep power-down mode. If the part must wake up
from deep power-down mode via an external pin, do not assign any movable function to
this pin.

PIO0_10 and PIO_11 are high current source pins while PIO0_2, PIO0_3, PIO0_12, and
PIO0_16 are high drive output pins.

The JTAG functions TDO, TDI, TCK, TMS, and TRST are selected on pins PIO0_0 to
PIO0_4 by hardware when the part is in boundary scan mode.

8.7 Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)

The Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) is part of the Cortex-M0+. The tight
coupling to the CPU allows for low interrupt latency and efficient processing of late arriving
interrupts.

8.7.1 Features
• Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller is a part of the Arm Cortex-M0+.
• Tightly coupled interrupt controller provides low interrupt latency.
• Controls system exceptions and peripheral interrupts.
• Supports 32 vectored interrupts.
• In the LPC84x, the NVIC supports vectored interrupts for each of the peripherals and
the eight pin interrupts.
• Four programmable interrupt priority levels with hardware priority level masking.
• Software interrupt generation using the Arm exceptions SVCall and PendSV.
• Supports NMI.

8.7.2 Interrupt sources

Each peripheral device has at least one interrupt line connected to the NVIC but can have
several interrupt flags. Individual interrupt flags can also represent more than one interrupt
source.

8.8 System tick timer

The Arm Cortex-M0+ includes a 24-bit system tick timer (SysTick) that is intended to
generate a dedicated SysTick exception at a fixed time interval (typically 10 ms).

8.9 I/O configuration

The IOCON block controls the configuration of the I/O pins. Each digital or mixed
digital/analog pin with the PIO0_n designator (except the true open-drain pins PIO0_10
and PIO0_11) in Table 4 can be configured as follows:

• Enable or disable the weak internal pull-up and pull-down resistors.

• Select a pseudo open-drain mode. The input cannot be pulled up above VDD. The
pins are not 5 V tolerant when VDD is grounded.
• Program the input glitch filter with different filter constants using one of the IOCON
divided clock signals (IOCONCLKCDIV, see Figure 11 “LPC84x clock generation”).
You can also bypass the glitch filter.
• Invert the input signal.
• Hysteresis can be enabled or disabled.
• For pins PIO0_10 and PIO0_11, select the I2C-mode and output driver for standard
digital operation, for I2C standard and fast modes, or for I2C Fast mode+.
• The switch matrix setting enables the analog input mode on pins with analog and
digital functions. Enabling the analog mode disconnects the digital functionality.

Remark: The functionality of each I/O pin is flexible and is determined entirely through the
switch matrix. See Section 8.10 for details.

8.10 Switch Matrix (SWM)

The switch matrix controls the function of each digital or mixed analog/digital pin in a
highly flexible way by allowing to connect many functions, for example, the USART, SPI,
SCTimer/PWM, CTimer, and I2C functions to any pin that is not power or ground. These
functions are called movable functions and are listed in Table 5.

Functions that need specialized pads like the oscillator pins XTALIN and XTALOUT can
be enabled or disabled through the switch matrix. These functions are called fixed-pin
functions and cannot move to other pins. The fixed-pin functions are listed in Table 4. If a
fixed-pin function is disabled, any other movable function can be assigned to this pin.

8.11 Fast General-Purpose parallel I/O (GPIO)

Device pins that are not connected to a specific peripheral function are controlled by the
GPIO registers. Pins may be dynamically configured as inputs or outputs. Multiple outputs
can be set or cleared in one write operation.

LPC84x use accelerated GPIO functions:

• GPIO registers are on the Arm Cortex-M0+ IO bus for fastest possible single-cycle I/O
timing, allowing GPIO toggling with rates of up to 15 MHz.
• An entire port value can be written in one instruction.
• Mask, set, and clear operations are supported for the entire port.
All GPIO port pins are fixed-pin functions that are enabled or disabled on the pins by the
switch matrix. Therefore each GPIO port pin is assigned to one specific pin and cannot be
moved to another pin. Except for pins SWDIO/PIO0_2, SWCLK/PIO0_3, and
RESET/PIO0_5, the switch matrix enables the GPIO port pin function by default.

8.11.1 Features
• Bit level port registers allow a single instruction to set and clear any number of bits in
one write operation.
• Direction control of individual bits.
• All I/O default to GPIO inputs with internal pull-up resistors enabled after reset -
except for the I2C-bus true open-drain pins PIO0_10 and PIO0_11.
• Pull-up/pull-down configuration, repeater, and open-drain modes can be programmed
through the IOCON block for each GPIO pin (see Figure 9).
• Direction (input/output) can be set and cleared individually.
• Pin direction bits can be toggled.

8.12 Pin interrupt/pattern match engine

The pin interrupt block configures up to eight pins from all digital pins for providing eight
external interrupts connected to the NVIC.

The pattern match engine can be used, with software, to create complex state machines
based on pin inputs.

Any digital pin, independently of the function selected through the switch matrix, can be
configured through the SYSCON block as input to the pin interrupt or pattern match
engine. The registers that control the pin interrupt or pattern match engine are on the IO+
bus for fast single-cycle access.

8.12.1 Features
• Pin interrupts
– Up to eight pins can be selected from all digital pins as edge- or level-sensitive
interrupt requests. Each request creates a separate interrupt in the NVIC.
– Edge-sensitive interrupt pins can interrupt on rising or falling edges or both.
– Level-sensitive interrupt pins can be HIGH- or LOW-active.
– Pin interrupts can wake up the LPC84x from sleep mode, deep-sleep mode, and
power-down mode.
• Pin interrupt pattern match engine
– Up to eight pins can be selected from all digital pins to contribute to a boolean
expression. The boolean expression consists of specified levels and/or transitions
on various combinations of these pins.
– Each minterm (product term) comprising the specified boolean expression can
generate its own, dedicated interrupt request.
– Any occurrence of a pattern match can be also programmed to generate an RXEV
notification to the Arm CPU. The RXEV signal can be connected to a pin.
– The pattern match engine does not facilitate wake-up.

8.13 DMA controller

The DMA controller can access all memories and the USART, SPI, I2C, DAC, and
Capacitive Touch. DMA transfers can also be triggered by internal events like the ADC
interrupts, the pin interrupts (PININT0 and PININT1), the SCTimer DMA requests,
CTimer, and the DMA trigger outputs.

8.13.1 Features
• Twenty five channels with each channel connected to peripheral request inputs.
• DMA operations can be triggered by on-chip events or by two pin interrupts. Each
DMA channel can select one trigger input from13 sources.
• Priority is user selectable for each channel.
• Continuous priority arbitration.
• Address cache with two entries.
• Efficient use of data bus.
• Supports single transfers up to 1,024 words.
• Address increment options allow packing and/or unpacking data.

8.13.2 DMA trigger input MUX (TRIGMUX)

Each DMA trigger is connected to a programmable multiplexer which connects the trigger
input to one of multiple trigger sources. Each multiplexer supports the same trigger
sources: the ADC sequence interrupts, the SCT DMA request lines, and pin interrupts
PININT0 and PININT1, and the outputs of the DMA triggers 0 and 1 for chaining DMA
triggers.

8.14 USART0/1/2/3/4
All USART functions are movable functions and are assigned to pins through the switch
matrix.

8.14.1 Features
• Maximum bit rates of 1.875 Mbit/s in asynchronous mode and 10 Mbit/s in
synchronous mode for USART functions connected to all digital pins except the
open-drain pins.
• 7, 8, or 9 data bits and 1 or 2 stop bits
• Synchronous mode with master or slave operation. Includes data phase selection and
continuous clock option.

possible with software address detection and transceiver direction control.)
• Parity generation and checking: odd, even, or none.
• One transmit and one receive data buffer.
• RTS/CTS for hardware signaling for automatic flow control. Software flow control can
be performed using Delta CTS detect, Transmit Disable control, and any GPIO as an
RTS output.
• Received data and status can optionally be read from a single register
• Break generation and detection.
• Receive data is 2 of 3 sample "voting". Status flag set when one sample differs.
• Built-in Baud Rate Generator.
• A fractional rate divider is shared among all UARTs.

8.15 SPI0/1
All SPI functions are movable functions and are assigned to pins through the switch
matrix.

8.15.1 Features
• Maximum data rates of up to 30 Mbit/s in master mode and up to 18 Mbit/s in slave
mode for SPI functions connected to all digital pins except the open-drain pins.

Product data sheet Rev. 2.0 — 6 November 2019 24 of 98

NXP Semiconductors LPC84x
32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller

• Data frames of 1 to 16 bits supported directly. Larger frames supported by software.

• Master and slave operation.
• Data can be transmitted to a slave without the need to read incoming data, which can
be useful while setting up an SPI memory.
• Control information can optionally be written along with data, which allows very
versatile operation, including “any length” frames.
• One Slave Select input/output with selectable polarity and flexible usage.
Remark: Texas Instruments SSI and National Microwire modes are not supported.

8.16 I2C-bus interface (I2C0/1/2/3)

The I2C-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 (for example, 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 I2C is a multi-master bus and
can be controlled by more than one bus master.

The I2C0-bus functions are fixed-pin functions. All other I2C-bus functions for I2C1/2/3
are movable functions and can be assigned through the switch matrix to any pin.
However, only the true open-drain pins provide the electrical characteristics to support the
full I2C-bus specification (see Ref. 3).

8.16.1 Features
• I2C0 supports Fast-mode Plus with data rates of up to 1 Mbit/s in addition to standard
and fast modes on two true open-drain pins.
• True open-drain pins provide fail-safe operation: When the power to an I2C-bus
device is switched off, the SDA and SCL pins connected to the I2C0-bus are floating
and do not disturb the bus.
• I2C1/2/3 support standard and fast mode with data rates of up to 400 kbit/s.
• Independent Master, Slave, and Monitor functions.
• Supports both Multi-master and Multi-master with Slave functions.
• Multiple I2C slave addresses supported in hardware.
• One slave address can be selectively qualified with a bit mask or an address range in
order to respond to multiple I2C bus addresses.
• 10-bit addressing supported with software assist.
• Supports SMBus.

8.17 Capacitive Touch Interface

The Capacitive Touch interface is designed to handle up to nine capacitive buttons in
different sensor configurations, such as slider, rotary, and button matrix. It operates in
sleep, deep sleep, and power-down modes, allowing very low power performance.

Product data sheet Rev. 2.0 — 6 November 2019 25 of 98

NXP Semiconductors LPC84x
32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller

The Capacitive Touch module measures the change in capacitance of an electrode plate
when an earth-ground connected object (for example, finger) is brought within close
proximity.

8.18 SCTimer/PWM
The SCTimer/PWM can perform basic 16-bit and 32-bit timer/counter functions with
match outputs and external and internal capture inputs. In addition, the SCTimer/PWM
can employ up to eight different programmable states, which can change under the
control of events, to provide complex timing patterns.

The inputs to the SCT are multiplexed between movable functions from the switch matrix
and internal connections such as the ADC threshold compare interrupt, the comparator
output, and the Arm core signals Arm_TXEV and DEBUG_HALTED. The signal on each
SCT input is selected through the INPUT MUX.

All outputs of the SCT are movable functions and are assigned to pins through the switch
matrix. One SCT output can also be selected as one of the ADC conversion triggers.

8.18.1 Features
• Each SCTimer/PWM supports:
– Eight match/capture registers.
– Eight events.
– Eight states.
– Five inputs. The fifth input is hard-wired to a clock source. Each input is
configurable through an input multiplexer to use one of four external pins
(connected through the switch matrix) or one of four internal sources. The
maximum input signal frequency is 25 MHz.
– Six outputs. Connected to pins through the switch matrix.
• Counter/timer features:
– Each SCTimer is configurable as two 16-bit counters or one 32-bit counter.
– Counters can be clocked by the system clock or selected input.
– Configurable as up counters or up-down counters.
– Configurable number of match and capture registers. Up to eight match and
capture registers total.
– Upon match create the following events: interrupt; stop, limit, halt the timer or
change counting direction; toggle outputs.
– Counter value can be loaded into capture register triggered by a match or
input/output toggle.
• PWM features:
– Counters can be used with match registers to toggle outputs and create
time-proportioned PWM signals.
– Up to six single-edge or dual-edge PWM outputs with independent duty cycle and
common PWM cycle length.
• Event creation features:

Product data sheet Rev. 2.0 — 6 November 2019 26 of 98

NXP Semiconductors LPC84x
32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller

– The following conditions define an event: a counter match condition, an input (or
output) condition such as a rising or falling edge or level, a combination of match
and/or input/output condition.
– Selected events can limit, halt, start, or stop a counter or change its direction.
– Events trigger state changes, output toggles, interrupts, and DMA transactions.
– Match register 0 can be used as an automatic limit.
– In bidirectional mode, events can be enabled based on the count direction.
– Match events can be held until another qualifying event occurs.
• State control features:
– A state is defined by events that can happen in the state while the counter is
running.
– A state changes into another state as a result of an event.
– Each event can be assigned to one or more states.
– State variable allows sequencing across multiple counter cycles.

• One SCTimer match output can be selected as ADC hardware trigger input.

8.18.2 SCTimer/PWM input MUX (INPUT MUX)

Each input of the SCTimer/PWM is connected to a programmable multiplexer which
allows to connect one of multiple internal or external sources to the input. The available
sources are the same for each SCTimer/PWM input and can be selected from four pins
configured through the switch matrix, the ADC threshold compare interrupt, the
comparator output, and the Arm core signals Arm_TXEV and DEBUG_HALTED.

8.19 CTIMER

8.19.1 General-purpose 32-bit timers/external event counter

The LPC84x has one general-purpose 32-bit timer/counter.

The timer/counter is designed to count cycles of the system derived clock or an

externally-supplied clock. It can optionally generate interrupts, generate timed DMA
requests, or perform other actions at specified timer values, based on four match
registers. Each timer/counter also includes two capture inputs to trap the timer value when
an input signal transitions, optionally generating an interrupt.

8.19.2 Features
• A 32-bit timer/counter with a programmable 32-bit prescaler.
• Counter or timer operation.
• Up to three 32-bit captures can take a snapshot of the timer value when an input
signal transitions. A capture event may also optionally generate an interrupt. The
number of capture inputs for each timer that are actually available on device pins can
vary by device.
• Four 32-bit match registers that allow:
– Continuous operation with optional interrupt generation on match.
– Stop timer on match with optional interrupt generation.

Product data sheet Rev. 2.0 — 6 November 2019 27 of 98

NXP Semiconductors LPC84x
32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller

– Reset timer on match with optional interrupt generation.

– Shadow registers are added for glitch-free PWM output.
• For each timer, up to four external outputs corresponding to match registers with the
following capabilities (the number of match outputs for each timer that are actually
available on device pins can vary by device):
– Set LOW on match.
– Set HIGH on match.
– Toggle on match.
– Do nothing on match.
• Up to two match registers can be used to generate timed DMA requests.
• The timer and prescaler may be configured to be cleared on a designated capture
event. This feature permits easy pulse width measurement by clearing the timer on
the leading edge of an input pulse and capturing the timer value on the trailing edge.
• Up to four match registers can be configured for PWM operation, allowing up to three
single edged controlled PWM outputs. (The number of match outputs for each timer
that are actually available on device pins can vary by device.)

8.20 Multi-Rate Timer (MRT)

The Multi-Rate Timer (MRT) provides a repetitive interrupt timer with four channels. Each
channel can be programmed with an independent time interval, and each channel
operates independently from the other channels.

8.20.1 Features
• 31-bit interrupt timer
• Four channels independently counting down from individually set values
• Bus stall, repeat and one-shot interrupt modes

8.21 Windowed WatchDog Timer (WWDT)

The watchdog timer resets the controller if software fails to service the watchdog timer
periodically within a programmable time window.

8.21.1 Features
• Internally resets chip if not periodically reloaded during the programmable time-out
period.
• Optional windowed operation requires reload to occur between a minimum and
maximum time period, both programmable.
• Optional warning interrupt can be generated at a programmable time prior to
watchdog time-out.
• Enabled by software but requires a hardware reset or a watchdog reset/interrupt to be
disabled.
• Incorrect feed sequence causes reset or interrupt if enabled.
• Flag to indicate watchdog reset.
• Programmable 24-bit timer with internal prescaler.

NXP Semiconductors LPC84x
32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller

• Selectable time period from (Tcy(WDCLK)  256  4) to (Tcy(WDCLK)  224  4) in

multiples of Tcy(WDCLK)  4.
• The WatchDog Clock (WDCLK) is generated by the dedicated watchdog oscillator
(WDOSC).

8.22 Self-Wake-up Timer (WKT)

The self-wake-up timer is a 32-bit, loadable down counter. Writing any non-zero value to
this timer automatically enables the counter and launches a count-down sequence. When
the counter is used as a wake-up timer, this write can occur prior to entering a reduced
power mode.

8.22.1 Features
• 32-bit loadable down counter. Counter starts automatically when a count value is
loaded. Time-out generates an interrupt/wake up request.
• The WKT resides in a separate, always-on power domain.
• The WKT supports three clock sources: an external clock on the WKTCLKIN pin, the
low-power oscillator, and the FRO. The low-power oscillator is located in the
always-on power domain, so it can be used as the clock source in deep power-down
mode.
• The WKT can be used for waking up the part from any reduced power mode,
including deep power-down mode, or for general-purpose timing.

8.23 Analog comparator (ACMP)

The analog comparator with selectable hysteresis can compare voltage levels on external
pins and internal voltages.

After power-up and after switching the input channels of the comparator, the output of the
voltage ladder must be allowed to settle to its stable value before it can be used as a
comparator reference input. Settling times are given in Table 29.

The analog comparator output is a movable function and is assigned to a pin through the
switch matrix. The comparator inputs and the voltage reference are enabled through the
switch matrix.

8.24 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

The ADC supports a resolution of 12 bit and fast conversion rates of up to
1.2 MSamples/s. Sequences of analog-to-digital conversions can be triggered by multiple
sources. Possible trigger sources are the pin triggers, the SCT output SCT_OUT3, the
analog comparator output, and the Arm TXEV.

Product data sheet Rev. 2.0 — 6 November 2019 30 of 98

NXP Semiconductors LPC84x
32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller

The ADC includes a hardware threshold compare function with zero-crossing detection.

Remark: For best performance, select VREFP and VREFN at the same voltage levels as
VDD and VSS. When selecting VREFP and VREFN different from VDD and VSS, ensure
that the voltage midpoints are the same:

(VREFP-VREFN)/2 + VREFN = VDD/2

8.24.1 Features
• 12-bit successive approximation analog to digital converter.
• 12-bit conversion rate of up to 1.2 MSamples/s.

8.27 Clocking and power control

8.27.1 Crystal and internal oscillators

The LPC84x include four independent oscillators:

1. The crystal oscillator (SysOsc) operating at frequencies between 1 MHz and 25 MHz.
2. Free Running Oscillator.
3. Watchdog Oscillator
4. Low Power Oscillator

Each oscillator, except the low-frequency oscillator, can be used for more than one
purpose as required in a particular application.

Following reset, the LPC84x operates from the FRO until switched by software allowing
the part to run without any external crystal and the bootloader code to operate at a known
frequency.

See Figure 11 for an overview of the LPC84x clock generation.

8.27.1.1 Free Running Oscillator (FRO)

The FRO oscillator provides the default clock at reset and provides a clean system clock
shortly after the supply pins reach operating voltage.

• This oscillator provides a selectable 18 MHz, 24 MHz, and 30 MHz outputs that can
be used as a system clock. Also, these outputs can be divided down to 1.125 MHz,
1.5 MHz, 1.875 MHz, 9 MHz, 12 MHz, and 15 MHz for system clock.
• The FRO is trimmed to ±1 % accuracy over the entire voltage and temperature range
of 0 C to 70 C.
• By default, the fro_oscout is 24 MHz and is divided by 2 to provide a default system
(CPU) clock frequency of 12 MHz.

8.27.1.2 Crystal Oscillator (SysOsc)

The crystal oscillator can be used as the clock source for the CPU, with or without using
the PLL.

The SysOsc operates at frequencies of 1 MHz to 25 MHz. This frequency can be boosted
to a higher frequency, up to the maximum CPU operating frequency, by the system PLL.

8.27.1.3 Internal Low-power Oscillator and Watchdog Oscillator (WDOsc)

The nominal frequency of the WDOsc is programmable between 9.4 kHz and 2.3 MHz.
The frequency spread over silicon process variations is  40%.

The WDOsc is a dedicated oscillator for the windowed WWDT.

Product data sheet Rev. 2.0 — 6 November 2019 32 of 98

NXP Semiconductors LPC84x
32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller

The internal low-power 10 kHz ( 40% accuracy) oscillator serves as the clock input to the
WKT. This oscillator can be configured to run in all low-power modes.

8.27.2 Clock input

An external clock source can be supplied on the selected CLKIN pin directly to the PLL
input. When selecting a clock signal for the CLKIN pin, follow the specifications for digital
I/O pins in Table 13 “Static characteristics, supply pins” and Table 19 “Dynamic
characteristics: I/O pins[1]”.

An 1.8 V external clock source can be supplied on the XTALIN pins to the system
oscillator limiting the voltage of this signal (see Section 14.2 “XTAL oscillator”).

The maximum frequency for both clock signals is 25 MHz.

8.27.3 System PLL

The PLL accepts an input clock frequency in the range of 10 MHz to 25 MHz. The input
frequency is multiplied up to a high frequency with a Current Controlled Oscillator (CCO).
The multiplier can be an integer value from 1 to 32. The CCO operates in the range of
156 MHz to 320 MHz, so there is an additional divider in the loop to keep the CCO within
its frequency range while the PLL is providing the desired output frequency. The output
divider may be set to divide by 2, 4, 8, or 16 to produce the output clock. Since the
minimum output divider value is 2, it is insured that the PLL output has a 50 % duty cycle.
The PLL is turned off and bypassed following a chip reset and may be enabled by
software. The program must configure and activate the PLL, wait for the PLL to lock, and
then connect to the PLL as a clock source. The PLL settling time is nominally 100 s.

8.27.4 Clock output

The LPC84x features a clock output function that routes the FRO, the SysOsc, the
watchdog oscillator, or the main clock to the CLKOUT function. The CLKOUT function can
be connected to any digital pin through the switch matrix.

8.27.5 Power control

The LPC84x supports the Arm Cortex-M0+ sleep mode. The CPU clock rate may also be
controlled as needed by changing clock sources, reconfiguring PLL values, and/or altering
the CPU clock divider value. This allows a trade-off of power versus processing speed
based on application requirements. In addition, a register is provided for shutting down the
clocks to individual on-chip peripherals, allowing to fine-tune power consumption by
eliminating all dynamic power use in any peripherals that are not required for the
application. Selected peripherals have their own clock divider which provides even better
power control.

8.27.5.1 Sleep mode

When sleep mode is entered, the clock to the core is stopped. Resumption from the sleep
mode does not need any special sequence but re-enabling the clock to the Arm core.

In sleep mode, execution of instructions is suspended until either a reset or interrupt

occurs. Peripheral functions continue operation during sleep mode and may generate
interrupts to cause the processor to resume execution. sleep mode eliminates dynamic
power used by the processor itself, memory systems and related controllers, and internal
buses.

8.27.5.2 Deep-sleep mode

In deep-sleep mode, the LPC84x core is in sleep mode and all peripheral clocks and all
clock sources are off except for the FRO and watchdog oscillator or low-power oscillator if
selected. The FRO output is disabled. In addition, all analog blocks are shut down and the
flash is in standby mode. In deep-sleep mode, the application can keep the watchdog
oscillator and the BOD circuit running for self-timed wake-up and BOD protection.

The LPC84x can wake up from deep-sleep mode via a reset, digital pins selected as
inputs to the pin interrupt block, a watchdog timer interrupt, an interrupt from Capacitive
Touch, or an interrupt from the USART (if the USART is configured in synchronous slave
mode), the SPI, or the I2C blocks (in slave mode).

Any interrupt used for waking up from deep-sleep mode must be enabled in one of the
SYSCON wake-up enable registers and the NVIC.

Deep-sleep mode saves power and allows for short wake-up times.

8.27.5.3 Power-down mode

In power-down mode, the LPC84x is in sleep mode and all peripheral clocks and all clock
sources are off except for watchdog oscillator or low-power oscillator if selected. In
addition, all analog blocks and the flash are shut down. In power-down mode, the
application can keep the watchdog oscillator and the BOD circuit running for self-timed
wake-up and BOD protection.

The LPC84x can wake up from power-down mode via a reset, digital pins selected as
inputs to the pin interrupt block, a watchdog timer interrupt, an interrupt from Capacitive
Touch, or an interrupt from the USART (if the USART is configured in synchronous slave
mode), the SPI, or the I2C blocks (in slave mode).

Any interrupt used for waking up from power-down mode must be enabled in one of the
SYSCON wake-up enable registers and the NVIC.

Power-down mode reduces power consumption compared to deep-sleep mode at the

expense of longer wake-up times.

8.27.5.4 Deep power-down mode

In deep power-down mode, power is shut off to the entire chip except for the WAKEUP pin
and the self-wake-up timer. The LPC84x can wake up from deep power-down mode via
the WAKEUP pin, RESET pin, or without an external signal by using the time-out of the
self-wake-up timer (see Section 8.22).

Product data sheet Rev. 2.0 — 6 November 2019 37 of 98

NXP Semiconductors LPC84x
32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller

The LPC84x can be prevented from entering deep power-down mode by setting a lock bit
in the PMU block. Locking out deep power-down mode enables the application to keep
the watchdog timer or the BOD running at all times.

If the part must wake up from deep power-down mode via the WAKEUP pin or RESET
pin, do not assign any movable function to this pin and must be externally pulled HIGH
before entering deep power-down mode.

8.27.6 Wake-up process

The LPC84x begin operation at power-up by using the FRO as the clock source allowing
chip operation to resume quickly. If the SysOsc, the external clock source, or the PLL are
needed by the application, software must enable these features and wait for them to
stabilize before they are used as a clock source.

8.28 System control

8.28.1 Reset
Reset has four sources on the LPC84x: the RESET pin, the Watchdog reset, power-on
reset (POR), and the BrownOut Detection (BOD) circuit. The RESET pin is a Schmitt
trigger input pin. Assertion of chip reset by any source, once the operating voltage attains
a usable level, starts the FRO and initializes the flash controller.

A LOW-going pulse as short as 50 ns resets the part.

When the internal Reset is removed, the processor begins executing at address 0, which
is initially the Reset vector mapped from the boot block. At that point, all of the processor
and peripheral registers have been initialized to predetermined values.

In deep power-down mode, an external pull-up resistor is required on the RESET pin.

8.28.2 Brownout detection

The LPC84x includes up to four levels for monitoring the voltage on the VDD pin. If this
voltage falls below one of the selected levels, the BOD asserts an interrupt signal to the
NVIC. This signal can be enabled for interrupt in the Interrupt Enable Register in the NVIC
to cause a CPU interrupt. Alternatively, software can monitor the signal by reading a
dedicated status register. Four threshold levels can be selected to cause a forced reset of
the chip.

NXP Semiconductors LPC84x
32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller

8.28.3 Code security (Code Read Protection - CRP)

CRP provides different levels of security in the system so that access to the on-chip flash
and use of the Serial Wire Debugger (SWD) and In-System Programming (ISP) can be
restricted. Programming a specific pattern into a dedicated flash location invokes CRP.
IAP commands are not affected by the CRP.

In addition, ISP entry via the ISP entry pin can be disabled without enabling CRP. For
details, see the LPC84x user manual.

There are three levels of Code Read Protection:

1. CRP1 disables access to the chip via the SWD and allows partial flash update
(excluding flash sector 0) using a limited set of the ISP commands. This mode is
useful when CRP is required and flash field updates are needed but all sectors cannot
be erased.
2. CRP2 disables access to the chip via the SWD and only allows full flash erase and
update using a reduced set of the ISP commands.
3. Running an application with level CRP3 selected, fully disables any access to the chip
via the SWD pins and the ISP. This mode effectively disables ISP override using the
ISP entry pin as well. If necessary, the application must provide a flash update
mechanism using IAP calls or using a call to the reinvoke ISP command to enable
flash update via the USART.

CAUTION
If level three Code Read Protection (CRP3) is selected, no future factory testing can be
performed on the device.

In addition to the three CRP levels, sampling of the ISP entry pin for valid user code can
be disabled. For details, see the LPC84x user manual.

8.28.4 APB interface

The APB peripherals are located on one APB bus.

8.28.5 AHBLite
The AHBLite connects the CPU bus of the Arm Cortex-M0+ to the flash memory, the main
static RAM, the CRC, the DMA, the ROM, and the APB peripherals.

8.29 Emulation and debugging

Debug functions are integrated into the Arm Cortex-M0+. Serial wire debug functions are
supported in addition to a standard JTAG boundary scan. The Arm Cortex-M0+ is
configured to support up to four breakpoints and two watch points.

The Micro Trace Buffer is implemented on the LPC84x.

The RESET pin selects between the JTAG boundary scan (RESET = LOW) and the Arm
SWD debug (RESET = HIGH). The Arm SWD debug port is disabled while the LPC84x is
in reset. The JTAG boundary scan pins are selected by hardware when the part is in
boundary scan mode (see Table 4).

To perform boundary scan testing, follow these steps:

1. Erase any user code residing in flash.

2. Power up the part with the RESET pin pulled HIGH externally.
3. Wait for at least 250 s.
4. Pull the RESET pin LOW externally.
5. Perform boundary scan operations.
6. Once the boundary scan operations are completed, assert the TRST pin to enable the
SWD debug mode, and release the RESET pin (pull HIGH).

Remark: The JTAG interface cannot be used for debug purposes.

10. Thermal characteristics

The average chip junction temperature, Tj (C), can be calculated using the following
equation:

T j = T amb +  P D  R th  j – a   (1)

• Tamb = ambient temperature (C),

• Rth(j-a) = the package junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (C/W)
• PD = sum of internal and I/O power dissipation
The internal power dissipation is the product of IDD and VDD. The I/O power dissipation of
the I/O pins is often small and many times can be negligible. However it can be significant
in some applications.

11.4 Peripheral power consumption

The supply current per peripheral is measured as the difference in supply current between
the peripheral block enabled and the peripheral block disabled in the SYSAHBCLKCFG
and PDRUNCFG (for analog blocks) registers. All other blocks are disabled in both
registers and no code accessing the peripheral is executed. Measured on a typical
sample at Tamb = 25 C.

The supply currents are shown for FRO clock frequencies of 12 MHz and 30 MHz.

[1] See the I2C-bus specification UM10204 for details.

[2] Parameters are valid over operating temperature range unless otherwise specified.
[3] tHD;DAT is the data hold time that is measured from the falling edge of SCL; applies to data in transmission
and the acknowledge.
[4] A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for the SDA signal (with respect to the
VIH(min) of the SCL signal) to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
[5] Cb = total capacitance of one bus line in pF.
[6] The maximum tf for the SDA and SCL bus lines is specified at 300 ns. The maximum fall time for the SDA
output stage tf is specified at 250 ns. This allows series protection resistors to be connected in between the
SDA and the SCL pins and the SDA/SCL bus lines without exceeding the maximum specified tf.
[7] In Fast-mode Plus, fall time is specified the same for both output stage and bus timing. If series resistors
are used, designers should allow for this when considering bus timing.

NXP Semiconductors LPC84x
32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller

[8] The maximum tHD;DAT could be 3.45 s and 0.9 s for Standard-mode and Fast-mode but must be less than
the maximum of tVD;DAT or tVD;ACK by a transition time (see UM10204). This maximum must only be met if
the device does not stretch the LOW period (tLOW) of the SCL signal. If the clock stretches the SCL, the
data must be valid by the set-up time before it releases the clock.
[9] tSU;DAT is the data set-up time that is measured with respect to the rising edge of SCL; applies to data in
transmission and the acknowledge.
[10] A Fast-mode I2C-bus device can be used in a Standard-mode I2C-bus system but the requirement
tSU;DAT = 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the
LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must
output the next data bit to the SDA line tr(max) + tSU;DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the
Standard-mode I2C-bus specification) before the SCL line is released. Also the acknowledge timing must
meet this set-up time.

12.7 SPI interfaces

The actual SPI bit rate depends on the delays introduced by the external trace, the
external device, system clock (CCLK), and capacitive loading. Excluding delays
introduced by external device and PCB, the maximum supported bit rate for SPI master
mode is 30 Mbit/s, and the maximum supported bit rate for SPI slave mode is 1/(2 x 26 ns)
= 19 Mbit/s at 3.0v  VDD  3.6v and 1/(2 x 42 ns) = 12 Mbit/s at 1.8v  VDD < 3.0v.

Remark: SPI functions can be assigned to all digital pins. The characteristics are valid for
all digital pins except the open-drain pins PIO0_10 and PIO0_11.

14.2 XTAL oscillator

In the XTAL oscillator circuit, only the crystal (XTAL) and the capacitances CX1 and CX2
need to be connected externally on XTALIN and XTALOUT. See Figure 37.

XTALIN XTALOUT

= CL CP

XTAL

CX1 CX2

aaa-025725

Fig 37. XTAL oscillator components

For best results, it is very critical to select a matching crystal for the on-chip oscillator.
Load capacitance (CL), series resistance (RS), and drive level (DL) are important
parameters to consider while choosing the crystal. After selecting the proper crystal, the
external load capacitor CX1 and CX2 values can also be generally determined by the
following expression:

CX1 = CX2 = 2CL  (CPad + CParasitic)

Where:

CL - Crystal load capacitance

CPad - Pad capacitance of the XTALIN and XTALOUT pins (~3 pF).
CParasitic – Parasitic or stray capacitance of external circuit.

Although CParasitic can be ignored in general, the actual board layout and placement of
external components influences the optimal values of external load capacitors. Therefore,
it is recommended to fine tune the values of external load capacitors on actual hardware
board to get the accurate clock frequency. For fine tuning, measure the clock on the
XTALOUT pin and optimize the values of external load capacitors for minimum frequency
deviation.

14.2.1 XTAL Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design guidelines

• Connect the crystal and external load capacitors on the PCB as close as possible to
the oscillator input and output pins of the chip.
• The length of traces in the oscillation circuit should be as short as possible and must
not cross other signal lines.
• Ensure that the load capacitors CX1, CX2, and CX3, in case of third overtone crystal
usage, have a common ground plane.
• Loops must be made as small as possible to minimize the noise coupled in through
the PCB and to keep the parasitics as small as possible.
• Lay out the ground (GND) pattern under crystal unit.
• Do not lay out other signal lines under crystal unit for multi-layered PCB.

14.2.2 XTAL input

The input voltage to the on-chip oscillators is limited to 1.95 V. If the oscillator is driven by
a clock in slave mode, it is recommended to couple the input through a capacitor with Ci =
100 pF. To limit the input voltage to the specified range, choose an additional capacitor to
ground Cg which attenuates the input voltage by a factor Ci/(Ci + Cg). In slave mode, a
minimum of 200 mV(RMS) is needed.

;7$/,1

&L &J
S)

DDD

Fig 38. Slave mode operation of the on-chip oscillator

In slave mode the input clock signal should be coupled with a capacitor of 100 pF
(Figure 38), with an amplitude between 200 mV (RMS) and 1000 mV (RMS). This
corresponds to a square wave signal with a signal swing of between 280 mV and 1.4 V.
The XTALOUT pin in this configuration can be left unconnected.

14.3 Connecting power, clocks, and debug functions

Figure 39 shows the basic board connections used to power the LPC84x, connect the
external crystal, and provide debug capabilities via the serial wire port.

(2) Position the decoupling capacitors of 0.1 μF and 0.01 μF as close as possible to the VDD pin. Add one set of decoupling
capacitors to each VDD pin.
(3) Position the decoupling capacitors of 0.1 μF as close as possible to the VREFN and VDD pins. The 10 μF bypass capacitor
filters the power line. Tie VREFP to VDD if the ADC is not used. Tie VREFN to VSS if ADC is not used.

(5) When measuring signals of low frequency, use a low-pass filter to remove noise and to improve ADC performance. Also see
Ref. 4.
(6) External pull-up resistors on SWDIO and SWCLK pins are optional because these pins have an internal pull-up enabled by
default.

14.4 I/O power consumption

I/O pins are contributing to the overall dynamic and static power consumption of the part.
If pins are configured as digital inputs, a static current can flow depending on the voltage
level at the pin and the setting of the internal pull-up and pull-down resistors. This current
can be calculated using the parameters Rpu and Rpd given in Table 15 for a given input
voltage VI. For pins set to output, the current drive strength is given by parameters IOH and
IOL in Table 15, but for calculating the total static current, you also need to consider any
external loads connected to the pin.

I/O pins also contribute to the dynamic power consumption when the pins are switching
because the VDD supply provides the current to charge and discharge all internal and
external capacitive loads connected to the pin in addition to powering the I/O circuitry.

The contribution from the I/O switching current Isw can be calculated as follows for any
given switching frequency fsw if the external capacitive load (Cext) is known (see Table 15
for the internal I/O capacitance):

Isw = VDD x fsw x (Cio + Cext)

14.5 Termination of unused pins

Table 34 shows how to terminate pins that are not used in the application. In many cases,
unused pins may should be connected externally or configured correctly by software to
minimize the overall power consumption of the part.

Unused pins with GPIO function should be configured as outputs set to LOW with their
internal pull-up disabled. To configure a GPIO pin as output and drive it LOW, select the
GPIO function in the IOCON register, select output in the GPIO DIR register, and write a 0
to the GPIO PORT register for that pin. Disable the pull-up in the pin’s IOCON register.

In addition, it is recommended to configure all GPIO pins that are not bonded out on
smaller packages as outputs driven LOW with their internal pull-up disabled.

Table 34. Termination of unused pins

Pin Default Recommended termination of unused pins
state[1]
RESET/PIO0_5 I; PU In an application that does not use the RESET pin or its GPIO function, the
termination of this pin depends on whether deep power-down mode is used:
• Deep power-down used: Connect an external pull-up resistor and keep pin in
default state (input, pull-up enabled) during all other power modes.
• Deep power-down not used and no external pull-up connected: can be left
unconnected if internal pull-up is disabled and pin is driven LOW and
configured as output by software.
all PIOn_m (not I; PU Can be left unconnected if driven LOW and configured as GPIO output with pull-up
open-drain) disabled by software.
PIOn_m (I2C open-drain) IA Can be left unconnected if driven LOW and configured as GPIO output by software.
VREFP - Tie to VDD.
VREFN - Tie to VSS.

[1] I = Input, O = Output, IA = Inactive (no pull-up/pull-down enabled), F = floating, PU = Pull-Up.
