A recent addition to the Stellaris family of products is the Stellaris ARM Cortex-M4F series. These powerful MCUs offer a floating point unit over the Stellaris Cortex-M3 offerings. In addition, they offer low power consumption and the same expansive set of connectivity options as that of the Cortex-M3. The ARM Cortex-M4 also offers DSP-like capabilities that surpass that of its predecessor. This allows use on more computation-hungry applications such as industrial automation, motor control and digital power. Both lines of Stellaris have ample connectivity options for all the customers’ communication needs.
