TI delivers leading analog integration, best-in-class low power and floating-point performance in new Stellaris ARM Cortex™-M4F microcontrollers
Texas Instruments announced the new low power, floating-point Stellaris Cortex M4F microcontroller generation. All of the new LM4Fx Stellaris microcontrollers provide floating point for performance headroom and best-in-class power consumption to address portability and power budgets. 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 nanometer technology, paving the roadmap to higher speeds, larger memory and even lower power.
To eFeatures and benefits of the Stellaris Cortex-M4F MCU platform
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
12-bit ADC accuracy is achievable at the full 1 MSPS rating without any hardware averaging, eliminating any performance tradeoffs
Lowest-power Stellaris microcontrollers – with standby currents now as low as 1.6 µA – enable longer battery life and support constrained power budgets
Connectivity options including USB (host, device and On-The-Go), UARTs, I2C, SSI/SPI and CAN to support communications
Integrated EEPROM supports high-endurance non-volatile storage of user interface or configuration parameters to reduce system cost
Complemented by TI’s extensive portfolio of analog power management products to optimize system power efficiency
Options for up to 256KB flash and 32KB SRAM to address varying application needs
Code compatibility allows system designers to easily scale designs across more than 220 Stellaris Cortex-M microcontrollers
