Architectural Overview
The Luminary Micro Stellaris
controllers—brings high-performance 32-bit computing to cost-sensitive embedded microcontroller
applications. These pioneering parts deliver customers 32-bit performance at a cost equivalent to
legacy 8- and 16-bit devices, all in a package with a small footprint.
The Stellaris
the device into cost-conscious applications requiring significant control-processing and connectivity
capabilities. The Stellaris
applications, extends the Stellaris family with Bosch CAN networking technology, the golden standard
in short-haul industrial networks. The Stellaris
CAN capabilities with the revolutionary Cortex-M3 core. The Stellaris
both a 10/100 Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical (PHY) layer, marking the first
time that integrated connectivity is available with an ARM Cortex-M3 MCU and the only integrated
10/100 Ethernet MAC and PHY available in an ARM architecture MCU.
The LM3S2965 microcontroller is targeted for industrial applications, including remote monitoring,
electronic point-of-sale machines, test and measurement equipment, network appliances and
switches, factory automation, HVAC and building control, gaming equipment, motion control, medical
instrumentation, and fire and security.
For applications requiring extreme conservation of power, the LM3S2965 microcontroller features
a Battery-backed Hibernation module to efficiently power down the LM3S2965 to a low-power state
during extended periods of inactivity. With a power-up/power-down sequencer, a continuous time
counter (RTC), a pair of match registers, an APB interface to the system bus, and dedicated
non-volatile memory, the Hibernation module positions the LM3S2965 microcontroller perfectly for
battery applications.
In addition, the LM3S2965 microcontroller offers the advantages of ARM's widely available
development tools, System-on-Chip (SoC) infrastructure IP applications, and a large user community.
Additionally, the microcontroller uses ARM's Thumb®-compatible Thumb-2 instruction set to reduce
memory requirements and, thereby, cost. Finally, the LM3S2965 microcontroller is code-compatible
to all members of the extensive Stellaris
needs.
Luminary Micro offers a complete solution to get to market quickly, with evaluation and development
boards, white papers and application notes, an easy-to-use peripheral driver library, and a strong
support, sales, and distributor network.
