LPC1311/13/42/43
32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
7.10 UART
The LPC1311/13/42/43 contains one UART.
Support for RS-485/9-bit mode allows both software address detection and automatic
address detection using 9-bit mode.
The UART includes a fractional baud rate generator. Standard baud rates such as
115200 Bd can be achieved with any crystal frequency above 2 MHz.
7.10.1 Features
• Maximum UART data bit rate of 4.5 MBit/s.
• 16-byte 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.
• Support for RS-485/9-bit mode.
• Support for modem control.
7.11 SSP serial I/O controller
The LPC1311/13/42/43 contain one SSP controller. An additional SSP controller is
available on the LPC1313FBD48/01 package.
The SSP controller is capable of operation on a SSP, 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.
7.11.1 Features
• Maximum SSP speed of 36 Mbit/s (master) or 6 Mbit/s (slave)
• 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
7.12 I2C-bus serial I/O controller
The LPC1311/13/42/43 contain one I2C-bus controller.
