6.20.4

External interrupt inputs

The LPC2119/LPC2129 include up to nine edge or level sensitive External Interrupt

Inputs as selectable pin functions. When the pins are combined, external events can

be processed as four independent interrupt signals. The External Interrupt Inputs can

optionally be used to wake up the processor from Power-down mode.

6.20.5

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.

6.20.6

Power Control

The LPC2119/LPC2129 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.

6.20.7

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 to provide peripherals with the desired PCLK via VPB bus so

that they can operate at the speed chosen for the ARM processor. In order to achieve

Because the VPB bus must work properly at power-up (and its timing cannot be

altered if it does not work since the VPB divider control registers reside on the VPB

clock rate. 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.

6.21 Emulation and debugging

The LPC2119/LPC2129 support emulation and debugging via a JTAG serial port. A

trace port allows tracing program execution. Debugging and trace functions are

multiplexed only with GPIOs on Port 1. This means that all communication, timer and
