LPC2290 and External FLASH Memory Throughput

LPC2290 and External FLASH Memory Throughput

2005-11-23 by kaiandxiulpc2000

I know the internal FLASH on the family is capable of 60MHz peak 
operation.

I have a lot of newbie type questions on using external FLASH with the 
LPC229x parts.

What kind of speed can I realistically achieve with the FLASH-less 
LPC2290?

What type of specific FLASH device can that be done with (examples of 
Spansion or Intel StrataFlash; NOR with burst mode)?

Hmm, would it be possible to attach both external flash and external
RAM? Boot up, the first thing you do is copy external flash to ram and
run out of there?

IIRC the fastest the external bus will run on an LPC229x is 1/3 the speed
of internal flash.
