Preface
PREFACE
This phyCORE-LPC3180 Hardware Manual describes the single board computer’s design and
functions. Precise specifications for the NXP Semiconductors (founded by Philips) LPC3180
microcontrollers can be found in the enclosed microcontroller Data Sheet/User's Manual. If software is
included please also refer to additional documentation for this software.
In this hardware manual and in the attached schematics, low active signals are denoted by a "/"
preceding the signal name (i.e.: /RD). A "0" indicates a logic-zero or low-level signal, while a "1"
represents a logic-one or high-level signal.

phyCORE-LPC3180
PHYTEC Single Board Computers (henceforth products) are designed for installation in electrical
appliances or as dedicated Evaluation Boards (i.e.: for use as a test and prototype platform for
hardware/software development) in laboratory environments.
Caution:
PHYTEC products lacking protective enclosures are subject to damage by ESD and, hence, may only
be unpacked, handled or operated in environments in which sufficient precautionary measures have
been taken in respect to ESD-dangers. It is also necessary that only appropriately trained personnel
(such as electricians, technicians and engineers) handle and/or operate these products. Moreover,
PHYTEC products should not be operated without protection circuitry if connections to the product's
pin header rows are longer than 3 m.
PHYTEC products fulfill the norms of the European Union’s Directive for Electro Magnetic Conformity
only in accordance to the descriptions and rules of usage indicated in this hardware manual
(particularly in respect to the pin header row connectors, power connector and serial interface to a
host-PC).
Implementation of PHYTEC products into target devices, as well as user modifications and extensions
of PHYTEC products, is subject to renewed establishment of conformity to, and certification of,
Electro Magnetic Directives. Users should ensure conformance following any modifications to the
products as well as implementation of the products into target systems.
The phyCORE-LPC3180 is one of a series of PHYTEC Single Board Computers that can be
populated with different controllers and, hence, offers various functions and configurations. PHYTEC
supports a variety of 8-/16- and 32-bit controllers in two ways:
(1) as the basis for Rapid Development Kits which serve as a reference and evaluation platform
(2) as insert-ready, fully functional phyCORE OEM modules, which can be embedded directly into
the user’s peripheral hardware, design.
PHYTEC's microcontroller modules allow engineers to shorten development horizons, reduce design
costs and speed project concepts from design to market. For more information go to:
