General description

The LPC2101/2102/2103 microcontrollers are based on a 16-bit/32-bit ARM7TDMI-S CPU with real-time emulation that combines the microcontroller with 8 kB, 16 kB or 32 kB of embedded high-speed flash memory. A 128-bit wide memory interface and a unique accelerator architecture enable 32-bit code execution at the maximum clock rate. For critical performance in interrupt service routines and DSP algorithms, this increases performance up to 30 over Thumb mode. For critical code size applications, the alternative 16-bit Thumb mode reduces code by more than 30 with minimal performance penalty.
