About the Stellaris^® Family

• Designed for serious microcontroller applications, the Stellaris family provides the entry into the industry's strongest ecosystem, with code compatibility ranging from $1 to 1 GHz.


• Superior integration saves up to $3.28 in system cost
• Over 130 Stellaris family members to choose from
• Real MCU GPIOs—all can generate interrupts, are 5V-tolerant, and have programmable drive strength and slew rate control
• Advanced communication capabilities, including 10/100 Ethernet MAC / PHY, USB and USB OTG and CAN controllers
• Sophisticated motion control support in hardware and software
• Both analog comparators and ADC functionality provide on-chip system options to balance hardware and software performance
• Development is easy with the royalty-free Stellaris Peripheral Driver Library's high-level API interface to the entire Stellaris peripheral set


• Stellaris microcontrollers feature the ARM^® Cortex^™-M3 microcontroller core:


• Optimized for single-cycle flash usage
• Deterministic, fast interrupt processing: always 12 cycles, or just 6 cycles with tail-chaining
• Three sleep modes with clock gating for low power
• Single-cycle multiply instruction and hardware divide
• Atomic operations
• ARM Thumb2 mixed 16-/32-bit instruction set
• 1.25 DMIPS/MHz—better than ARM7 and ARM9
• Extra debug support including data watchpoints and flash patching


• Stellaris microcontrollers offer capabilities beyond ARM7 for the microcontroller market:


• Requires approximately half the flash (code space) of ARM7 applications
• 2–4 times faster on MCU control applications
• No assembly code required - ever!
