Stellaris ARM Cortex-M MCUs offer a direct path to the strongest ecosystem of development tools, software, and knowledge in the industry. Designers who migrate to Stellaris will benefit from great tools, small code footprint, and outstanding performance. The Stellaris family offers the industry's first and broadest implementation of Cortex-M and the Thumb-2 instruction set. With blazingly-fast responsiveness, Thumb-2 technology combines both 16-bit and 32-bit instructions to deliver the best balance of code density and performance. Thumb-2 uses 26 percent less memory than pure 32-bit code to reduce system cost while delivering 25 percent better performance.
Stellaris microcontrollers offer users the following benefits:
- Assured continuity of supply with the backing of a global top-three semiconductor supplier with more than 75 years of industry experience
- Access to and support from a large direct global sales force, in addition to extensive global distribution access
- Ability to pair your Stellaris MCU with the complete signal chain and power management solutions, support, and applications know-how that only TI can offer
- An instruction-set compatible Texas Instruments ARM Cortex roadmap to higher performance (Cortex-M, Cortex-R, Cortex-A) to leverage software expertise and development across multiple products
The era of pervasive 32-bit computing, control, and communication has arrived!
