6.17.4

External interrupt inputs

The LPC2104, LPC2105 and LPC2106 include three External Interrupt Inputs as

selectable pin functions. The External Interrupt Inputs can optionally be used to wake

up the processor from Power-down mode.

6.17.5

Memory Mapping Control

The Memory Mapping Control alters the mapping of the interrupt vectors that appear

beginning at address 0x00000000. Vectors may be mapped to the bottom of the

on-chip Flash memory, or to the on-chip static RAM. This allows code running in

different memory spaces to have control of the interrupts.

6.17.6

Power Control

The LPC2104, LPC2105 and LPC2106 support two reduced power modes: Idle

mode and Power-down mode. In Idle mode, execution of instructions is suspended

until either a Reset or interrupt occurs. Peripheral functions continue operation during

Idle mode and may generate interrupts to cause the processor to resume execution.

Idle mode eliminates power used by the processor itself, memory systems and

related controllers, and internal buses.

In Power-down mode, the oscillator is shut down and the chip receives no internal

clocks. The processor state and registers, peripheral registers, and internal SRAM

values are preserved throughout Power-down mode and the logic levels of chip

output pins remain static. The Power-down mode can be terminated and normal

operation resumed by either a Reset or certain specific interrupts that are able to

function without clocks. Since all dynamic operation of the chip is suspended,

Power-down mode reduces chip power consumption to nearly zero.

A Power Control for Peripherals feature allows individual peripherals to be turned off if

they are not needed in the application, resulting in additional power savings.

6.17.7

VPB bus

The VPB Divider determines the relationship between the processor clock (cclk) and

the clock used by peripheral devices (PCLK). The VPB Divider serves two purposes.

The first is that the VPB bus cannot operate at the highest speeds of the CPU. In

order to compensate for this, the VPB bus may be slowed down to one half or one

fourth of the processor clock rate. The default condition at reset is for the VPB bus to

run at one quarter of the CPU clock. The second purpose of the VPB Divider is to

allow power savings when an application does not require any peripherals to run at

the full processor rate. Because the VPB Divider is connected to the PLL output, the

PLL remains active (if it was running) during Idle mode.

6.18 Emulation and debugging

The LPC2104, LPC2105 and LPC2106 support emulation and debugging via a JTAG

serial port. A trace port allows tracing program execution. Each of these functions

requires a trade-off of debugging features versus device pins. Because the LPC2104,

LPC2105 and LPC2106 are provided in a small package, there is no room for

permanently assigned JTAG or Trace pins. An alternate JTAG port allows an option to

debug functions assigned to the pins used by the primary JTAG port.
