Registers
• Different registers used for configuring or controlling a pin of an
ARM microcontroller.

• In microcontrollers, pins are divided into different PORTS.

• Usually a 32-bit microcontroller will have 32 pins per PORT

(sometimes it may vary).

• LPC2148 have 2 PORTS, P0 and P1. Each pin of these ports are
named as P0.0, P0.1, P0.2, P1.0, P1.2 etc.

INPUT/OUTPUT PORTS (GPIO of
LPC2148)
LPC2148 has two IO ports each of 32-bit wide, provided by
64 IO pins. Ports are named as P0 and P1.

Pins of each port labeled as Px.y where “x” stands for port

number, 0 or 1. Where “y” stands for pin number usually
between 0 to 31.

Each pin can perform multiple functions.

For example: Pin no.1 which is P0.21 serves as GPIO as

well as PWM5, AD1.6 (A/D converter1, input 6), CAP1.3
(Capture input for Timer1, Channel 3).

CONFIGURE GPIO in LPC2148:
PORT 0 is a 32-bit I/O port with individual direction controls for each
bit.
Total of 28 pins of the Port 0 can be used as a general purpose bi-
directional digital I/Os while P0.31 provides digital output functions
only.
The operation of port 0 pins depends upon the pin function selected
via the pin connect block. Pins P0.24, P0.26 and P0.27 are not
available.
PORT 1 is a 32-bit bi-directional I/O port with individual direction
controls for each bit.
The operation of port 1 pins depends upon the pin function selected
via the pin connect block. Pins 0 through 15 of port 1 are not
available.
PORT0 and PORT1 are controlled via two groups of registers

IOSEL0
Port 0 has 32 pins (P0.0 to P0.31). Each pin can have multiple
functions. On RESET, all pins are configured as GPIO pins. However
we can re-configure using the registers IOSEL0 and IOSEL1. IOSEL0
is used to select function of P0.0 to P0.15. Each pin has up to 4
functions so 2 bits/pin in IOSEL0 is provided for selecting function.
IOSEL1
IOSEL1 is used to select function of Pins P0.16 to P0.31
IOSEL2
IOSEL2 is used to select function of Pins P1.16 to P1.31

PINSELx:
• Most of the pins of an ARM microcontroller is multi-functional, every
pin can be made to perform one of the assigned function by setting bits of
PINSEL register.

 Registers for C programming
PINSELx:
The configuration register is called PINSEL and is classified in
to three registers: PINSEL0, PINSEL1 and PINSEL2.

These configuration registers are of 32-bit wide. Any pin on

the LPC2148 can have a maximum of 4 functions.

Hence in order to select one of the four functions, two

corresponding bits of the PINSEL register are needed.

So, a 32-bit PINSEL register can control 16 pins with 2-bits to

control each pin.

PINSEL0 controls PORT0 pins P0.0 to P0.15, PINSEL1 controls

PORT0 pins P0.16 to P0.31 and PINSEL2 controls PORT1 pins

• IO0DIR
• IO0DIR is used to configure pins of Port 0-P0 as input or output
pins.
• 1= Output Pin
0= Input Pin
• Example: IO0DIR=0x0000FFFF means P0.0 to P0.15 are
configured as output pins and P0.16 to P0.31 are configured as input
pins.
• IO1DIR
• IO1DIR is used to configure pins of Port 1-P1 as input or output
pins.
• 1= Output Pin
0= Input Pin
• Example: IO1DIR=0xAAAAAAAA means even pins (P1.0, P1.2,
P1.4 etc.) are configured as input pins and odd pins (P1.1, P1.3,
P1.5 etc.) are configured as input pins.

Phase Locked Loop (PLL)

• There are two PLL modules in the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 microcontroller.

• The PLL0 is used to generate the CCLK clock (system clock) while the PLL1 has to
supply the clock for the USB at the fixed rate of 48 MHz.

• Structurally these two PLLs are identical with exception of the PLL interrupt
capabilities reserved only for the PLL0.

• The PLL0 and PLL1 accept an input clock frequency in the range of 10 MHz to 25
MHz only.

• The input frequency is multiplied up the range of 10 MHz to 60 MHz for the CCLK
and 48 MHz for the USB clock using a Current Controlled Oscillators (CCO).

Department of EECE-19ECS431-EMBEDDED SYSTEMS 24

24
PLL

The multiplier can be an integer value from 1 to 32 (in practice, the multiplier value
cannot be higher than 6 on the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 due to the upper frequency limit of the
CPU).

The CCO operates in the range of 156 MHz to 320 MHz, so there is an additional
divider in the loop to keep the CCO within its frequency range while the PLL is
providing the desired output frequency.

The output divider may be set to divide by 2, 4, 8, or 16 to produce the output clock.
Since the minimum output divider value is 2, it is insured that the PLL output has a 50%
duty cycle.

Department of EECE-19ECS431-EMBEDDED SYSTEMS 25

25
PLL

PLL activation is controlled via the PLLCON register. The PLL multiplier and divider
values are controlled by the PLLCFG register. These two registers are protected in order
to prevent accidental alteration of PLL parameters or deactivation of the PLL.

• LCDs (Liquid Crystal Displays) are used for displaying status or

• A 16×2 LCD means it can display 16 characters per line and there are
2 such lines. In this LCD each character is displayed in a 5×7 pixel
matrix.

• LCD 16x2 is 16 pin device which has 8 data pins (D0-D7) and 3
control pins (RS, RW, EN). The remaining 5 pins are for supply and
backlight for the LCD.

• The control pins help us configure the LCD in command mode or

data mode. They also help configure read mode or write mode and
when to read or write.

The command register stores the command instructions given to the
LCD.

A command is an instruction given to LCD to do a predefined task

like initializing it, clearing its screen, setting the cursor position,
controlling the display, etc.

The data register stores the data to be displayed on the LCD. The data
is the ASCII value of the character to be displayed on the LCD. 

LCD 16x2 can be used in 4-bit mode or 8-bit mode depending on the
requirement of the application

• Analog to Digital Converter(ADC) is used to convert analog signal into
digital form. LPC2148 has two inbuilt 10-bit ADC i.e. ADC0 & ADC1.

• ADC0 has 6 channels &ADC1 has 8 channels.

• Hence, we can connect 6 distinct types of input analog signals to ADC0 and
8 distinct types of input analog signals to ADC1.

• ADCs in LPC2148 use Successive Approximation technique to convert

analog signal into digital form.

• This Successive Approximation process requires a clock less than or equal to

4.5 MHz. We can adjust this clock using clock divider settings.

• Both ADCs in LCP2148 convert analog signals in the range of 0V to VREF

AD0.1:4, AD0.6:7 & AD1.7:0 (Analog Inputs)
• These are Analog input pins of ADC.
• If ADC is used, signal level on analog pins must not be above the level
of VDDA (7th Pin) otherwise, ADC readings will be invalid.
• If ADC is not used, then the pins can be used as 5V tolerant digital I/O
pins.

VREF (Voltage Reference)

• Provide Voltage Reference for ADC.

VDDA& VSSA (Analog Power and Ground)

• These are the power and ground pins for ADC. These should be same
as VDD & VSS.

ADC (Analog to Digital Converter)
• Steps for Analog to Digital Conversion
Configure the ADxCR (ADC Control Register) according to the need of
application.

Start ADC conversion by writing appropriate value to START bits in ADxCR.

(Example, writing 001 to START bits of the register 26:24, conversion is
started immediately).

Monitor the DONE bit (bit number 31) of the corresponding ADxDRy (ADC
Data Register) till it changes from 0 to 1. This signals completion of
conversion. We can also monitor DONE bit of ADGSR or the DONE bit
corresponding to the ADC channel in the ADCxSTAT register.

Read the ADC result from the corresponding ADC Data Register.
ADxDRy. E.g. AD0DR1 contains ADC result of channel 1 of ADC0.
