The 60 MHz core speed places this ARM7 part in the mid-range of the LPC2100 family. At this clock, single-cycle multiply and 32-bit data paths handle control-loop update rates and protocol framing without external memory wait states. The 256 KB Flash is single-cycle at 60 MHz for sequential access, so timing closure on the bus is straightforward for most sensor and communication applications.
On-chip data converters and serial interfaces
The 16-channel 10-bit ADC and single 10-bit DAC allow direct connection to analog sensors and actuators, reducing the need for external converters. Serial interfaces include I²C, SPI, SSI, SSP, UART, and Microwire, covering common peripheral buses for memory, display, and wireless modules.
