Stellaris ARM Cortex-M4F microcontrollers deliver analog integration, best-in-class low power and floating-point performance
Developers can also select from a variety of high-performance analog, memory and connectivity options to best satisfy design parameters across a broad range of applications, such as industrial automation, motion control, health and fitness and more. The new Stellaris MCUs are the first Cortex-M-based microcontrollers to be built on 65 nm technology, paving the roadmap to higher speeds, larger memory and even lower power.
To ease design and speed time to market, TI’s free license and royalty-free StellarisWare software is available for download and claims to be unmatched in breadth and ease-of-use. StellarisWare software includes hundreds of example projects, application and peripheral libraries and open source stacks. To conserve flash memory, TI also offers the software pre-loaded in ROM. Supported by five popular IDEs, Stellaris microcontroller kits jumpstart design in 10 minutes or less. Developers can easily scale designs and reuse code across the entire code compatible Stellaris Cortex-M microcontroller platform.
The industry’s first 65 nm Cortex-M MCUs feature an ARM Cortex-M4F floating-point core operating at up to 80 MHz to provide targeted performance headroom for application differentiation. Two high-performance 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and three comparators support mixed-signal applications and 12-bit ADC accuracy is achievable at the full 1 MSPS rating without any hardware averaging, eliminating any performance tradeoffs
The lowest-power Stellaris microcontrollers – with standby currents now as low as 1.6 µA – enable longer battery life and support constrained power budgets
The new Stellaris Cortex-M4F microcontrollers start at $1.53 USD at 10K quantities. The EK-LM4F232 evaluation kit is priced at $149.
