Preliminary data sheet
6.11.1 Features
6.12.1 Features
6.11 Real-time clock
6.12 General purpose DMA controller
The Real Time Clock (RTC) is a set of counters for measuring time when system power is
on, and optionally when it is off. It uses little power in either mode.
The General Purpose DMA Controller (GPDMA) is an AMBA AHB compliant master
allowing selected LPC2880/LPC2888 peripherals to have DMA support. Peripherals that
can be serviced by the GPDMA channels include the MCI/SD card interface, UART TX
and/or RX, the I
and 16-bit dual DACs, the Simple Analog In (SAI) interfaces for data from the I2S/DAI and
16-bit dual ADCs, and the output to the LCD interface.

Optional interrupt via Event Router.
32-bit Prescaler and 32-bit Counter allow extended watchdog period.
Measures the passage of time to maintain a calendar and clock.
Ultra Low Power design to support battery powered systems.
Provides Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Day of Month, Month, Year, Day of Week, and Day
of Year.
Dedicated 32 kHz oscillator.
Dedicated power supply pin can be connected to a battery or to the main 1.8 V.
Eight DMA channels. Each channel can support a unidirectional transfer, or a pair of
channels can be used together to follow a linked list of buffer addresses and transfer
counts.
The GPDMA provides 16 peripheral DMA request lines. Most of these are connected
to the peripherals listed above; two can be used for external requests.
The GPDMA supports a subset of the flow control signals supported by ARM DMA
channels, specifically ‘single’ but not ‘burst’ operation.
Memory-to-memory, memory-to-peripheral, peripheral-to-memory, and
peripheral-to-peripheral transfers.
Scatter or gather DMA is supported through the use of linked lists. This means that
the source and destination areas do not have to occupy contiguous areas of memory.
Rotating channel priority. Each DMA channel has equal opportunity to perform
transfers.
The GPDMA is one of three AHB masters in the LPC2880/LPC2888, the others being
the ARM7 processor and the USB interface.
Incrementing or non-incrementing addressing for source and destination.
Supports 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit wide transactions.
GPDMA channels can be programmed to swap data between big- and little-endian
formats during a transfer.
