Find help, specifications and source code for the LPC900. The LPC900 challenges Microchip and AVR based on the worlds most popular 8-bit architecture the 80C51. With a 2-clock core the LPC900 series is a high performance, very flexible and low cost 8-bit microcontroller family. Designers using or interested in these devices are encouraged to share their know-how and ask questions.
Hi All, Does ICP (Serially Clocked) have supperior features over ISP (UART)? Obviously if you use ISP you need a stable clock source. If you program the flash for external xtals or external clock source.... and you forget or don't have an external source then you can not program the LPC900 in ISP mode... becuase internal RS Osc is not enabled. (becuase you need the baud rate gen for the UART... which is dependant on the osc source) Where as the ICP is self clocking (mode 0 of the UART Serially clocked) If you have LPC900 flash programmed for a external xtals or external source.... but have not external xtal or source.... Can you still program the LPC900 with ICP? Does ICP switch back to internal RC OSC? I would be intertested to hear your thoughts Thanks in advance Joe G
