How fast does MicroStamp11 execute code?
The MCU in atandard MicroStamp11 has a bus speed of 2MHz. This translates to an instruction cycle time of 500ns. Most 68HC11 instructions execute in 2 to 9 cycles, with an average of around 4 cycles. This means MicroStamp11 can execute code at an average speed of 500,000 instructions per second (0.5 MIPS). The true execution speed depends upon many factors, including the particular set of instructions used and their addressing modes. A “Turbo” version of MicroStamp11, operating at 9.8304 MHz, is now available. This gives a 23% speed increase.
