General description
The LPC3220/30/40/50 embedded microcontrollers were designed for low power, high performance applications. NXP achieved their performance goals using a 90 nanometer process to implement an ARM926EJ-S CPU core with a vector floating point co-processor and a large set of standard peripherals including USB On-The-Go. The LPC3220/30/40/50 operates at CPU frequencies of up to 266 MHz.
The NXP implementation uses a ARM926EJ-S CPU core with a Harvard architecture, 5-stage pipeline, and an integral Memory Management Unit (MMU). The MMU provides the virtual memory capabilities needed to support the multi-programming demands of modern operating systems. The ARM926EJ-S also has a hardware based set of DSP instruction extensions, which includes single cycle MAC operations, and hardware based native Jazelle Java Byte-code execution. The NXP implementation has a 32 kB instruction cache and a 32 kB data cache.
