1. General description
The LPC546xx is a family of ARM Cortex-M4 based microcontrollers for embedded
applications featuring a rich peripheral set with very low power consumption and
enhanced debug features.
The ARM Cortex-M4 is a 32-bit core that offers system enhancements such as low power
consumption, enhanced debug features, and a high level of support block integration. The
ARM Cortex-M4 CPU incorporates a 3-stage pipeline, uses a Harvard architecture with
separate local instruction and data buses as well as a third bus for peripherals, and
includes an internal prefetch unit that supports speculative branching. The ARM
Cortex-M4 supports single-cycle digital signal processing and SIMD instructions. A
hardware floating-point processor is integrated into the core.
The LPC546xx family includes up to 512 KB of flash, 200 KB of on-chip SRAM, up to
16 kB of EEPROM memory, a quad SPI Flash Interface (SPIFI) for expanding program
memory, one high-speed and one full-speed USB host and device controller, Ethernet
AVB, LCD controller, Smart Card Interfaces, SD/MMC, CAN FD, an External Memory

Controller (EMC), a DMIC subsystem with PDM microphone interface and I S, five
general-purpose timers, SCTimer/PWM, RTC/alarm timer, Multi-Rate Timer (MRT), a
Windowed Watchdog Timer (WWDT), ten flexible serial communication peripherals
2 2
(USART, SPI, I S, I C interface), Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA), 12-bit 5.0 Msamples/sec
ADC, and a temperature sensor.

2
Booting from valid user code in flash, USART, SPI, and I C.
Legacy, Single, and Dual image boot.
OTP API for programming OTP memory.
Random Number Generator (RNG) API.
Serial interfaces:
Flexcomm Interface contains up to ten serial peripherals. Each Flexcomm Interface
2
can be selected by software to be a USART, SPI, or I C interface. Two Flexcomm
2
Interfaces also include an I S interface. Each Flexcomm Interface includes a FIFO
2
that supports USART, SPI, and I S if supported by that Flexcomm Interface. A
variety of clocking options are available to each Flexcomm Interface and include a
shared fractional baud-rate generator.
2
I C-bus interfaces support Fast-mode and Fast-mode Plus with data rates of up to
1Mbit/s and with multiple address recognition and monitor mode. Two sets of true
2
I C pads also support High Speed Mode (3.4 Mbit/s) as a slave.
Two ISO 7816 Smart Card Interfaces with DMA support.
USB 2.0 high-speed host/device controller with on-chip high-speed PHY.
USB 2.0 full-speed host/device controller with on-chip PHY and dedicated DMA
controller supporting crystal-less operation in device mode using software library.
See Technical note TN00032 for more details.
SPIFI with XIP feature uses up to four data lines to access off-chip SPI/DSPI/QSPI
flash memory at a much higher rate than standard SPI or SSP interfaces.
Ethernet MAC with MII/RMII interface with Audio Video Bridging (AVB) support and
dedicated DMA controller.
Two CAN FD modules with dedicated DMA controller.
Digital peripherals:
DMA controller with 30 channels and up to 24 programmable triggers, able to
access all memories and DMA-capable peripherals.
LCD Controller supporting both Super-Twisted Nematic (STN) and Thin-Film
Transistor (TFT) displays. It has a dedicated DMA controller, selectable display
resolution (up to 1024 x 768 pixels), and supports up to 24-bit true-color mode.
External Memory Controller (EMC) provides support for asynchronous static
memory devices such as RAM, ROM and flash, in addition to dynamic memories
such as single data rate SDRAM with an SDRAM clock of up to 100 MHz. EMC bus
width (bit) on TFBGA180, TFBGA100, and LQFP100 and packages supports up to
8/16 data line wide static memory, in addition to dynamic memories, such as,
SDRAM (2 banks only) with an SDRAM clock of up to 100 MHz.
Secured digital input/output (SD/MMC and SDIO) card interface with DMA support.
