New Prices

Since the Stellaris MCU family has officially integrated into TI, efficiencies can be realized from TI’s manufacturing leadership and economies of scale, and the cost savings are being passed directly to customers. This translates to an immediate price reduction averaging 13 percent across the Stellaris family!

New Package

With this announcement, Texas Instruments also announces the availability of a brand new package option available in the Stellaris MCU family: the ultra-tiny 48-QFN. Measuring just 7mm x 7mm and available for all Stellaris LM3Sx00 Series MCUs, the 48-QFN is ideal for small form factor embedded applications.

New Parts

Texas Instruments has announced 29 brand new Stellaris MCUs based on the ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller processor, offering new memory options and pin compatibility within the largest ARM microcontroller portfolio in the world. New Stellaris MCUs include unique IP for motion control applications, intelligent analog functionality and expanded advanced connectivity options to provide a broad range of price/performance solutions for industrial applications.

1000 Series Additions

TI’s new LM3S1000 Series additions augment the series with a versatile External Peripheral Interface (with modes to support SDRAM, SRAM/Flash, Host-Bus, and M2M), a second watchdog timer with independent clock for safety critical applications (supported by the IEC 60730 library addition to the StellarisWare® Library), and a 16 MHz software-trimmed 1% Precision Oscillator. In addition to providing a range of pin-compatible memory offerings, every new LM3S1000 Series MCU is offered with StellarisWare software pre-programmed in memory-saving ROM.
