Lpc2000

Users manual describes the family, it does not, and should not, define
the timing parameters. These should be on the datasheet for the
individual device version, and in the section on dynamic
parameter....not the features list.

The procedure for locking onto the PLL should be in the users manual,
and not in the FAQ.

On the whole, Phillips documentation is not bad, but not the best. I
would give it a 7/10.....sufficient!

IMHO, the american manufacturers (Motorola, Intel, Microchip ecc.) Get
the best balance with datasheets and appnotes. The Oriental
manufacturers (Toshiba, Sharp etc.) manage to put down tons of figures
but I can never quite manage to work out what I want to know. European
manufacturers (Phillips, ST etc) are hanging in the balance....I
understand what they do say but many things seem to be missing or
misplaced!

I think the core ARM documention is very good....but perhaps there is
some personal bias here, I am English ;-)
