<data at speeds up to 2.4 million bits per second (Mbps) peak rate transmission. That's a load. Will the single ARM7TDMI processor handle it effectively?> Hmm, running at 100Mhz it is kind of 40 instructions per (spread out) bit. Running at 1Ghz it is 400 instructions per bit. Running at 1.13 GHz it is a Pentium with a black helicopter on it's back, tens of watts and neither works, nor flies. Realities start making realities?? Ilmarinen. (air-man in finnish, and even some experience in airconditioning, if I remember right the cooling power of a block of ice is important in USA??)
