Introduction
Many engineers use 8 bit microcontrollers because of their low cost and ease of use. 32 bit microcontrollers generally offer higher performance
than 8 bit parts, but many believe their cost is significantly higher than bit uCs and that they are more difficult to use than 8 bit parts. While 32 bit
parts are generally a little more complicated than 8 bit parts, the cost of 8 and 32 bit parts aren’t that far apart in many cases. Additionally, the 32
bit parts offer significantly higher performance. In other words, give 32 bit parts a chance!
NXP has introduced a very low cost (i.e. often less than $1 in production volumes) line of 32 bit microcontrollers, the LPC111X family. There are
several other companies also offering some type of ARM Cortex M0 microcontroller. NXP was one of the earliest, but Freescale (Kinetis L), ST
Micro (STM32 F0), and Nuvoton (M051,M058,Mini51,NUC100,NUC122) also have Cortex M0 offerings. This document will give a brief
introduction on how to get up and running using NXP's . The code will work on several other members of the LPC11xx family as well. LPC1114
The assumption inherent in this document is that most engineers follow a fairly similar method of learning when presented with a new
microcontroller family. They start by getting a development kit and trying to toggle a pin, transmit/receive with a serial port, read an ADC pin
etc. This document will show some very simple examples of how to enable and operate these peripherals. This will not be exhaustive of every
operating mode and every peripheral but, it is hoped that it will cover the basics in sufficient detail to allow an engineer to get up and running
quickly. Also included are some tips regarding custom design of PCBs using these parts (see example schematic and BOM below in the
"Hardware" section.
This document is primarily targeted at those who are familiar with 8 bit microcontrollers, but are interested in learning to use a 32 bit part. It is
hoped that this document can make getting started with a 32 bit part as painless as possible. It is realized that this code is very simplistic, and if
one were going to write production code, there would certainly be other features, such as error checking, that would be needed. This code is
provided purely to provide a simplistic “working” example.

Hardware
The examples described in this document will be run on Embedded Artists’ (shown at the top of this wiki page). It should be notedEA-XPR-002
that from Embedded Artists is identical to from NXP. So the two part numbers can be used interchangeably. ThisEA-XPR-002 OM11049,598
document generally refers to , but that is just for convenience. Any example given in this document should work on both boardsEA-XPR-002
using the Code Red Software (discussed below). This PCB can be used standalone, plugged into a solderless , or it can be pluggedbreadboard
into a dedicated base board such as (shown in Figure 1 below). The or the plugs in on top of thisEA-XPR-021 EA-XPR-002 OM11049,598
baseboard and allows you to use the peripherals of the in an easily measurable/observable way. Since this page was first built NXPLPC1114
purchased Embedded Artists and has obsoleted the . So just use the OM11049,598. All the examples should work exactly theEA-XPR-002
same.

works very well too. If you don't like the idea of cutting the board, the can be used without physically splitting the PCB in two. ToOM11049,598

Software
All software examples were written in the C programming language using LPCXpresso v4.1.5 [12/12/2011] development system. This
development environment is available free of charge at ; The comments in the codehttp://www.support.code-red-tech.com/CodeRedWiki
examples that have a parenthetical note such as (sec 3.5.14) refer to the NXP's "UM10398 LPC11x/LPC11Cxx User Manual" Rev. 12 - 24
September 2012
Important Note: Many of the software examples below write to a register with a name that begins with "LPC_IOCON...". All of these code
samples have been tested and run on real hardware. However on another custom circuit board the author found that in order to successfully
modify these registers the following piece of code had to be included:
LPC_SYSCON->SYSAHBCLKCTRL |= (1<<16); //enable the clock to the
IOCON block (section 3.5.14)
So if one of the code examples shown here doesn't function correctly. Check and see if one of the "LPC_IOCON..." registers are being
modified. If so, add the line of code above before trying to write to an "LPC_IOCON..." register and see if that fixes the problem. The author
found this to be the solution to a problem experienced when using pin PIO1_1 (pin 34 on the 48 pin QFP part). The pin wouldn't toggle until the
line above was added enabling the clock to the IOCON register. So keep this in mind when using the examples here.
Code Example 0: Toggle a GPIO Pin
This code snippet shows a simple program that was compiled and run on the LPCXpresso board successfully. The program toggles pin 23 on
and off within the infinite while loop. Pin 23 will turn the boards lone LED on and off. For more examples of this type click or (for a plainhere here
text file).

#include "LPC11xx.h"
int main(void) { //Toggle a GPIO (FBD48 pin 23, PIO0_7, controls the
LED on the LPC Expresso PCB)
LPC_SYSCON->SYSAHBCLKCTRL |= (1<<6); //enable clock GPIO (sec
3.5.14)
LPC_IOCON->PIO0_7 &= ~(0x10); //NOT REQUIRED, turn off
pull up (sec 7.4.19)
LPC_GPIO0->DIR |= (1<<7); //set pin direction to
output (sec 12.3.2)
unsigned int i = 0;
while(1){ //infinite loop
LPC_GPIO0->DATA |= (1<<7); //set pin high (sec
12.3.1)
for(i=0; i<0xFFFFF; ++i); //arbitrary delay
LPC_GPIO0->DATA &= ~(1<<7); //set pin low (sec
12.3.1)
for(i=0; i<0xFFFFF; ++i); //arbitrary delay
}
return 0 ;
}
Important Note: The LPC1114 toggles pins rather slowly. If you set the oscillator to a frequency of 48MHz and comment out the two "for" loops
you’ll find that this program will only toggle a pin at around 1MHz. It’s something to be aware of if you are planning to toggle pins in a timing
critical application. Some other NXP chips such the LPC13xx, LPC17xx, LPC23xx, LPC8xx, and some members of the LPC21xx family have
“fast GPIO” that will toggle much faster than the LPC111X parts.
Code Example 1: Read a GPIO Pin
This program reads pin 40 (PIO1_4/AD5) and toggles pin 23 in response to pin 40s state. If pin 40 is high, the pin 23 is set high and vice
versa. Recall that on the board pin 23 is attached to an LED. This LED turns on when pin 23 is high. For more examples ofOM11049,598
reading pins as general purpose inputs click . Note that pin 40 is labelled as "AD5" on the PCB since it serves dual functionhere OM11049,598
as an analog to digital converter input if configured differently.
\#include "LPC11xx.h"
int main(void) {
//Toggle a pin 23 in response to digital voltage change on pin 40
LPC_SYSCON->SYSAHBCLKCTRL |= (1<<6); //enable clock GPIO (sec 3.5.14)
LPC_IOCON->PIO0_7 &= ~(0x10); //NOT NECESSARY, turn off pull up
(sec 7.4.19)
LPC_GPIO0->DIR |= (1<<7); //set pin 23/PIO0_7 direction to
output (sec 12.3.2)
LPC_GPIO1->DIR &= ~(1<<4); //set pin 1_4 (pin 40 of QFP) to
input

//unsigned int i = 0;
while(1){ //infinite loop
if(LPC_GPIO1->DATA & (1<<4)) //check state of pin 40, PIO1_4
(sec 12.3.1)
LPC_GPIO0->DATA |= (1<<7); //set pin high (sec 12.3.1)
else
LPC_GPIO0->DATA &= ~(1<<7); //set pin low (sec 12.3.1)
}
return 0 ;
}
In order to change the state of pin 40 on the board a switch such as may be used in conjunction with the pull up (orOM11049,598 450-1467-ND
pull down) functions of PIO1_4 itself. The default state of the pin is to be pulled up.
Code Example 2: Setting Up the Oscillator
Here is a bit of code that will set the clock generation unit to produce a 48MHz clock from the 12MHz system oscillator and connects this clock to
the ARM Cortex-M0 core. This operation is discussed in the user’s manual primarily in Chapter 3, section 3.4. The block diagram shown in
Figure 8 is particularly useful in understanding the function of the code.
#include "LPC11xx.h"
int main(void) {
//USE EXTERNAL CRYSTAL TO GENERATE INTERNAL SYSTEM CLOCK
LPC_SYSCON->SYSAHBCLKDIV = 0x1; //set clock
divider for core to 1
LPC_SYSCON->MAINCLKSEL &= ~(0x03); //set "main
clock" to IRC oscillator, if not system will lock up when PLL turns off!
(sec. 3.5.11)
LPC_SYSCON->MAINCLKUEN &= ~(1); //write a zero
to the MAINCLKUEN register (sec. 3.5.12), necessary for MAINCLKSEL to
update
LPC_SYSCON->MAINCLKUEN |= 1; //write a one to
the MAINCLKUEN register (sec. 3.5.12), necessary for MAINCLKSEL to update
LPC_SYSCON->SYSPLLCLKSEL = 0x01; //connect system
oscillator to SYSTEM PLL (sec. 3.5.9)
LPC_SYSCON->SYSPLLCLKUEN &= ~(1); //write a zero
to SYSPLLUEN register (sec. 3.5.10), necessary for SYSPLLCLKSEL to update
LPC_SYSCON->SYSPLLCLKUEN |= 1; //write a one to
SYSPLLUEN register (sec. 3.5.10), necessary for SYSPLLCLKSEL to update
LPC_SYSCON->PDRUNCFG |= (1<<7); //power down the
PLL before changing divider values (sec 3.5.35)
LPC_SYSCON->SYSPLLCTRL = 0x23; //set MSEL =
0x00011 and PSEL = 0x01 (sec 3.5.3 and table 46 of sec. 3.11.4.1)
LPC_SYSCON->PDRUNCFG &= ~(1<<7); //power up PLL
after divider values changed (sec. 3.5.35)
while((LPC_SYSCON->SYSPLLSTAT & 1) == 0); //wait for PLL
to lock
LPC_SYSCON->MAINCLKSEL = 0x03; //set system
oscillator to the output of the PLL (sec. 3.5.11)
LPC_SYSCON->MAINCLKUEN &= ~(1); //write a zero

to the MAINCLKUEN register (sec. 3.5.12), necessary for MAINCLKSEL to
update
LPC_SYSCON->MAINCLKUEN |= 1; //write a one to
the MAINCLKUEN register (sec. 3.5.12)
for(;;){ //infinite loop
//your application code here
}
return 0 ;
}
The critical bit of code to keep in mind is this line:
LPC_SYSCON->SYSPLLCTRL = 0x42; //set MSEL = 0x00011 and PSEL = 0x01
(table 46 of sec. 3.11.4.1)
This is where the frequency is actually set. If you look at section 3.5.3 you can see how this value is constructed. In this case, it is 0x23. A value
of 0x23 means that MSEL has a binary value of 0_0011, and PSEL has a binary value of 01. Combined as shown in section 3.5.3 they give a
binary value of 010_0011, or a hex value of 0x23. Table 46 in section 3.11.4.2 gives MSEL and PSEL values for two other frequencies as
well: 0x42 for 36MHz and 0x41 for 24MHz.
If you want to look at the output of the clock directly and you aren’t using pin PIO0_7 (pin 23 on the LQFP48 package), you can port the internal
clock directly to the outside world on this pin. Here’s how one would do it. If this code is inserted at the beginning of main() then you can use
your oscilloscope to look at the clock signal directly.
//CONNECT SYSTEM OSCILLATOR TO CLKOUT PIN: This allows measurement
with o-scope.
LPC_IOCON->PIO0_1 &= 0xFFFFFFF8; //clear FUNC bits
(sec. 7.4.4)
LPC_IOCON->PIO0_1 |= 0x01; //set FUNC bits to
CLKOUT function (sec. 7.4.4)
LPC_GPIO0->DIR |= 0x01; //set CLKOUT pin to
output (sec. 12.3.2)
LPC_SYSCON->CLKOUTCLKSEL = 0x3; //sec. 3.5.21
LPC_SYSCON->CLKOUTUEN = 0; //"CLKOUTUEN" has to
be toggled for "CLKOTUCLKSEL" to accept the value written to it
LPC_SYSCON->CLKOUTUEN = 1; //"CLKOUTUEN" has to
be toggled for "CLKOTUCLKSEL" to accept the value written to it
LPC_SYSCON->CLKOUTDIV = 1; //set divider to 1
(sec. 3.5.23)
Code Example 3: Transmitting Data Using the UART
The program below will transmit a single value, in this case 0x55, over the UART. This is a very simple program that doesn’t use interrupts or
check any of the possible error flags, but it gives an idea of how to set up the device. For different baud rates you can adjust the UARTCLKDIV
value. The “UART Fractional Divider Register” can be used to generate the proper baud rate as well (see section 13.5.15 of the LPC11xx User
Manual).

#include "LPC11xx.h"
int main(void) {
//SET UP UART (sec. 13.2 in datasheet "BASIC CONFIGURATION")
LPC_IOCON->PIO1_7 |= 0x01; //configure UART TXD pin
(sec. 7.4.41)
LPC_SYSCON->SYSAHBCLKCTRL |= (1<<12); //enable clock to UART
(sec. 3.5.14)
LPC_SYSCON->UARTCLKDIV |= 0x9B; //0x9B will give approx.
19.2K baud signal (sec. 3.5.16)
LPC_UART->FCR |= 0x01; //enable UART FIFOs
(necessary for operation) (sec. 13.5.6)
LPC_UART->LCR |= 0x03; //set for 8 bit data
width (sec. 13.5.7)
LPC_UART->TER |= 0x80; //transmit enable (sec.
13.5.16)
unsigned int i = 0;
while(1){ //infinite loop
LPC_UART->THR |= 0x55; //transmit data (sec.
13.5.2)
for(i=0; i < 0xFFFFF; ++i); //simple delay to make
scope readings easier to read
}
return 0 ;
}

Figure 6: Example scope shot of 19.2k baud transmission of hex value 0x55 using UART code given above.
Code Example 4: Receiving Data Using the UART
The program below demonstrates how data can be received through the serial port. Note that this code will only work if the TX pin (PIO1_7) and
RX pin (PIO1_7) are shorted together. As always this is a very simple program that doesn’t use interrupts or check any of the possible error
flags, but it shows a simple UART application for receiving data. Inside the main while loop, the program first transmits a byte (after incrementing
it). After a for loop delay, the program checks the UART Line Status Register's "Receiver Data Ready" bit to see if a byte has been received. If a
byte has been received it breaks out of the while loop and updates the data variable with the new byte. If a scope is placed on the loop back data
line you can see each byte being transmitted. You can also easily see the data being incremented. If one is using the board forOM11049,598
development, the shorting of the RX and TX pins can be easily accomplished with a small jumper between the two vias on the edge of the PCB.
#include "LPC11xx.h"
int main(void) {
//SET UP UART (section 13.2 in datasheet "BASIC CONFIGURATION")
LPC_IOCON->PIO1_6 |= 0x01; //configure UART RXD
pin (sec 7.4.40)

LPC_SYSCON->UARTCLKDIV |= 0x4e; //set clk divider to
4e (sec 3.5.16)
LPC_UART->FCR |= 0x01; //enable FIFO (sec
13.5.6)
LPC_UART->LCR |= 0x03; //set for 8 bit data
width, 1 stop bit, no parity (sec 13.5.7)
LPC_UART->TER |= 0x80; //enable transmission
(sec 13.5.16)
unsigned int i = 0;
unsigned int data = 0x55;
while(1){ //infinite loop
LPC_UART->THR |= ++data & 0xFF; //transmit data (sec
13.5.2)
for(i=0;i<0x3FFFF;++i); //arbitrary delay
while(1){ //wait for transmitted
byte to loop back and be received
if(LPC_UART->LSR & 0x01) //if Receiver Data
Ready bit set (sec 13.5.9)
break;
}
data = LPC_UART->RBR; //store received data
(sec 13.5.1)
}
return 0 ;
}
Code Example 5: Using the Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)
Another essential peripheral for most embedded applications is the analog to digital converter. The program below will read a value from ADC
channel 0 (pin 32 on the QFP package). This code snippet is a little longer because the UART code is retained so that the ADC data can be sent
out on the UART to look at on an oscilloscope. Generally, the ADC is one of the simpler peripherals to use. There are only 5 registers to
contend with in the ADC unit. For more examples of how to use other channels of the ADC unit click for a word document or for a plainhere here
text file.
#include "LPC11xx.h"

unsigned int i = 0;
while(1){ //infinite loop

//transmit upper 8 bits of conversion result (sec. 13.5.2)
for(i=0; i < 0xFFFFF; ++i);
//simple delay to make scope shots easier to view
}
return 0 ;
}
Code Example 6: Transmitting with Synchronous Serial Port (SSP/SPI)
Here is a working example of how to set up and transmit using the SSP/SPI bus. The ADC is only included to provide data to output through the
SPI bus.
#include "LPC11xx.h"
int main(void) {
//SET UP THE SPI
LPC_IOCON->PIO2_3 = (LPC_IOCON->PIO2_3 & ~(0x3)) | 0x2;
//set PIO2_3 up as MOSI function (sec. 7.4.34)

Code Example 7: Setting Up the 16bit Timer for PWM
The following is a code snippet showing how to set up 16 bit timer 0 for PWM operation on PIO0_8 (pin 27 of the 48 pin LQFP package). In this
case, the value for the period of the PWM signal is loaded into LPC_TMR16B0->MR1. The duty cycle is loaded into LPC_TMR16B0->MR0.

Code Example 8: Transmitting with I2C
This code snippet shows an example of a simplistic I2C communication. This code was written to allow The LXP11XX part on the OM11049,598
PCB to toggle some LEDs using an I2C compatible LED driver. This part is available on the base board, and it was onPCA9532 EA-XPR-021
this base board that this code was tested. As usual this code doesn't check for errors or I2C states other than the ones expected in normal error-
free operation. Still, it is a starting place. It should be noted that the author found it quite difficult to get this peripheral up and running using
nothing but the datasheet. The compiler also seemed to be finicky about the way bits were set in the registers. For instance, in the code below
there is a line that contains the following C statement: LPC_I2C->CONCLR = 0x28; The datasheet says that writing zero's to this register has no
effect, so it would seem that this statement could be written: LPC_I2C->CONCLR |= 0x28; However, the author found that this was not true. The
code will only work with the former statement. If a reader knows why this is the case, please login and post your comments for everyone to see.
