1.1 Introduction
The LPC11U3x/2x/1x are an ARM Cortex-M0 based, low-cost 32-bit MCU family,
designed for 8/16-bit microcontroller applications, offering performance, low power, simple
instruction set and memory5 addressing together with reduced code size compared to
existing 8/16-bit architectures.
The LPC11U3x/2x/1x operate at CPU frequencies of up to 50 MHz. Equipped with a
highly flexible and configurable full-speed USB 2.0 device controller, the LPC11U3x/2x/1x
bring unparalleled design flexibility and seamless integration to today's demanding
connectivity solutions.
The peripheral complement of the LPC11U3x/2x/1x includes up to 32 kB of flash memory,
up to 8 kB of SRAM data memory, one Fast-mode Plus I
2
C-bus interface, one
RS-485/EIA-485 USART with support for synchronous mode and smart card interface,
two SSP interfaces, four general purpose counter/timers, a 10-bit ADC, and up to 54
general purpose I/O pins.
The I/O Handler is a software library-supported hardware engine that can be used to add
performance, connectivity and flexibility to system designs. It is available on the
LPC11U37HFBD64/401. The I/O Handler can emulate serial interfaces such as UART,
I2C, and I2S with no or very low additional CPU load and can off-load the CPU by
performing processing-intensive functions like DMA transfers in hardware. Software
libraries for multiple I/O handler applications are available on http://www.LPCware.com
.

for additional documentation related to the LPC11Uxx
parts.
