80 MHz ARM9 — what the clock rate means for your design
The 80 MHz ARM9 core delivers enough headroom for a single control loop with CAN messaging and a modest RTOS, but it is not a high-throughput application processor. If your firmware needs to run heavy protocol stacks (Ethernet, USB host) or pixel-pushing graphics, this part will be tight on MIPS — the LPC2900 family tops out here.
