TI unveils new Tiva C Series ARM Cortex-M4 MCUs for connected applications
The Tiva C Series TM4C123x MCUs, formerly known as Stellaris LM4F MCUs, are in production now and are ideal for home, building and industrial automation. Tiva MCUs are built upon common software libraries to help ease migration across future Tiva ARM MCUs for a wide range of connected applications.
The Tiva C Series MCUs are able to differentiate applications using targeted performance headroom with ARM Cortex-M4 floating-point core, operating at up to 80 MHz.
The devices support mixed-signal applications with high-performance analog integration – two high-performance 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and three comparators.
The MCUs eliminate performance tradeoffs with 12-bit ADC accuracy, achievable at the full 1 MSPS rating without any hardware averaging.
The devices communicate with on-chip connectivity options, including USB (host, device and On-The-Go), UARTs, I2C, SSI/SPI and CAN.
The MCUs support high-endurance non-volatile storage of user interface or configuration parameters to reduce system cost using integrated EEPROM. The devices also enable longer battery life and support constrained power budgets with low-power – standby currents as low as 1.6 µA.
Tiva C Series MCUs come with easy-to-use development tools, software, training and support to further ease design and development. TivaWare for C Series MCUs provide ‘no-OS’ software development, enabling even novice developers to get started quickly. TI-RTOS, a real-time operating system unifies development among all TI MCUs to help designers easily transition devices while keeping code investments and is compatible with latest version of Code Composer Studio v.5 integrated development environment (IDE). TI’s software is complemented by a complete Design Network, which includes IAR Networks, offering various software and application solutions. TI MCU training can be found online and support is available through local sales offices or TI’s E2E online community.
