Superior Performance
With over 45 DMIPS of performance compared to the sub-DMIP performance typical of 8-bit MCUs and 3 - 5 DMIPS for 16-bit MCUs, the LPC1100 can not only execute basic control tasks but also sophisticated algorithms, making even the most complex tasks within reach. Shorter time to do more tasks translates directly into lower energy consumption. This level of performance is delivered at 50 MHz, with extensive power optimization, at less than 10 mA.

Smaller Code Size
Completely shattering the myth that 8/16 bit microcontrollers use less code, industry standard Coremark benchmarks dramatically illustrate that the LPC1100 requires 40-50 percent smaller code for most common microcontroller tasks.
