<p style="font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #ffffff;">I have a overclock on lpc2378 up to 116MHZ but lpc23xx datasheet talk about CCLKmax=72MHZ.
<p style="font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #ffffff;">what are the risks? the lpc2378 is a little warm in this clock but work just fine for a long time .

Hi,

The chip would work sometimes. There has been successful cases where the chip works perfectly but it would consume a lot of power. On the other hand, there are risks of destroying the device on overclocking. The chip may not boot at high frequencies and may not function when you again start to operate at normal speed. Sometimes you could damage the memory of the device if it cannot keep up. This may lead to loss of data. The ECC may not work properly leading to parity errors or even your application may crash.It is better to run the device at recommended speeds and avoid accelerated ageing effects.

Thanks,
SK
