SPC58 performance

[alexandrealmeida]

Hello,

I created a new project using default settings only to toggle an OUTPUT just to see the microcontroller performance.
I monitored that outpup with an oscilloscope and I get only 4.17MHz.

I am using a SPC58NH-DISP.

Is that an expected output frequency or I am missing something?

How much is the MIPS of SPC58NH microcontroller?

PS.: it was used clock default settings.

Best regards.

      pal_togglepad(PORT_LED1, LED1);
  }
}

Hello Alexandre ,

Normally , this CPU is based on Triple z4 cores 200 MHz 

to calculate the MIPS , you should have : 

MIPS = (CPU Frequency in Hz) / (Number of clock cycles per instruction)

On the different IPs, you can check the clocktree
