Evaluation Board Keil MCB2460

Detailed Description

With this hands-on process, you can determine the hardware and software requirements for current and future product development.

Hardware block diagram

The MCB2460 Evaluation Board ships with the LPC2468 device that is a superset of several other device variants of the LPC24xx microcontroller series. The MCB2460 Board contains all the hardware components required in a single-chip LPC24xx system.

The MCB2400 OEM board contains an NXP (formerly Philips) LPC2468 microcontroller with 512Kb on-chip Flash and 96Kb on-chip RAM. In addition, the MCB2400 OEM board contains the following components:

• External Flash
  
  • 128 MB NAND Flash plus 4 MB NOR Flash
• External RAM
  
  • 32 Mb SDRAM
• I2C EPROM
  • 256 Kbit
• Crystals
  • 12.0000 MHz for MCU, CAN and USB
  • 32.768 kHz for Real-Time Clock
• 100/10M Ethernet
  • Micrel KSZ8001L Ethernet PHY/ transceiver
• Backup Power
  • 0.3F capacitor

The connectors on the MCB2400 evaluation board set provide easy access to many of the LPC2478's on-chip peripherals.

• Color QVGA LCD with Touchscreen
  
  • A detachable, 320x240 TFT LCD color VGA display module with built-in touchscreen is accessible via 8-bit serial or 16-bit parallel interface.

• Serial Port
  • A standard DB9 connector is on the MCB2400 board for the LPC2478's built-in UART interfaces. Your application may use this full duplex, serial port, if required.
• CAN Port
  • A standard DB9 connector is on the MCB2400 board for CAN communications.
• 100/10M Ethernet Port
  • A standard RJ45 connector on the MCB2400 base board connects to the Ethernet transceiver on the OEM board for applications requiring Ethernet communications.
• USB Ports
  • Standard USB connectors for USB Device, USB-OTG, USB Host and UART via USB on the MCB2400 board for applications requiring USB communications.
• Amplifier and Speaker
  • An amplifier with volume control on the MCB2400 connects the D/A output of the LPC2468 device to a speaker. You may use this amplifier to generate sound.
• Analog Voltage Control for ADC Input
  • An adjustable analog voltage source is on the MCB2400 board for testing the Analog to Digital output feature of the LPC2478.
• SD/MMC Card Connector
  • An SD/MMC Card connector for developing applications requiring access to SD/MMC Cards.
• JTAG Download and Debug
  • A JTAG interface is on the MCB2400 board and, coupled with the ULINK USB-JTAG adapter, allows flash programming. The on-chip debug interface can perform real-time in-circuit emulation of the LPC2478 device. For fast PC communication, use your PC's USB port.

The MCB2400 kit includes:

• The MCB2400 Evaluation Board Set consisting of:
  • A MCB2400 Base Board
  • A LPC2468 OEM Board.
