I think because of the low voltage (1.8 volts) this could be possible.
However, the flash is slower than the CPU (can work at 20 Mips). The LPC2100
does some prefetching, with linear code you get the full 60 Mips, but with
loops and jumps you are slower.

I am interested of the power consumption in "RTC-mode" - running mostly in
idle mode, just counting the internal RTC. I guess that are still some mA;
so I would need a separate battery powered real time clock (a MSP430 ;-).
Anyone experiences yet? (I do not have any hardware yet to make some tests
myself).
