This document is the user manual for Philips Semiconductors PHILIPS INTEGRATED CIRCUITS LPC2131/2132/2138. It describes the features and characteristics of the LPC2131/2132/2138 ARM-based Microcontroller.
This manual provides an overview of the Philips LPC2131, LPC2132 and LPC2138 ARM‑based microcontrollers. It introduces the devices, lists key features and typical applications, and describes the architectural blocks such as the ARM7TDMI‑S core, on‑chip flash, static RAM, PLL and power control.
Detailed sections cover pin descriptions, register maps, peripheral interfaces (UART, I2C, SPI, PWM, ADC, DAC, RTC, watchdog), memory addressing, boot options and the RealMonitor debugging environment. Build‑time options for RealMonitor are also documented.
| Processor core | ARM7TDMI‑S |
|---|---|
| Maximum Flash memory | 512 kB (LPC2138) |
| On‑chip static RAM | 16 kB |
The Power Control register controls the power state of the processor and its peripheral blocks.
