Lpc2000

First, I want to say 'hello' to everybody since I'm new to this group and
since English is my second language forgive me for any mistakes contained in
this or future messages.

And I have a question... off course :)

I'm working on new design and it seems that LPC2124 is the perfect match for
it. For past 9 years I used Microchip PIC16 family of MCU's so I don't know
much about LPC family except what can be seen in Data Sheets, Errata Sheets
and LPC User Manual.

Anyway, I would like to know about processing power of LPC. How many MIPS
are delivered at 60MHz?

Happy New Year!

Greetings from Serbia,
Igor

Philips claims 54 MIPS at 60 MHz.

Yeah, but only in straightline code, I bet.

They don't say how they determined that value.

MIP - Meaningless Indicator of Performance. 8-)

I'm sure it's the same style of benchmark as the 0-60 time of certain
high-performance cars.  For instance an XJ220 goes really quickly in a
straight line (high MIPS rating), but doesn't do too well when it comes
to going around corners, the automotive equivalent of taking a branch...
