Stellaris MCUs and ARM Cortex-M3 offer a direct path to the strongestecosystem of development tools, software, and knowledge in theindustry. Designers who migrate to Stellaris will benefit from greattools, small code footprint, and outstanding performance.
The Stellaris family offers the industry´s first and broadestimplementation of Cortex-M3 and the Thumb-2 instruction set. Withblazingly-fast responsiveness, Thumb-2 technology combines both 16-bitand 32-bit instructions to deliver the best balance of code density andperformance. Thumb-2 uses 26 percent less memory than pure 32-bit codeto reduce system cost while delivering 25 percent better performance.
Newly acquired into TI´s expansive microcontroller portfolio,Stellaris microcontrollers offer users the following benefits:
- Assured continuity of supply with the backing of a global top-threesemiconductor supplier with more than 75 years of industry experience
- Access to and support from a large direct global sales force, inaddition to extensive global distribution access
- Ability to pair your Stellaris MCU with the complete signal chainand power management solutions, support, and applications know-how thatonly TI can offer
- An instruction-set compatible Texas Instruments ARM Cortex roadmapto higher performance (Cortex-M, Cortex-R, Cortex-A) to leveragesoftware expertise and development across multiple products
The era of pervasive 32-bit computing, control, and communication hasarrived!
