Luminary Micro has launched 27 new additions to its award-winning Stellaris Cortex-M3-based microcontroller range. These new MCUs bring innovative networking capabilities for realtime applications in motion control, building and industrial automation, fire and security, remote sensing, instrumentation, point-of-sales, and deeply embedded connected systems. They also extend the benefits of the Stellaris family with larger on-chip memories, enhanced power management and expanded I/O capabilities.
Boasting 12 new members, the LM3S6000 devices combine both the media access control (MAC) and physical (PHY) layers, said to be 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.
With 15 new members, the LM3S2000 series, designed for controller area network (CAN) applications, extends the Stellaris family with Bosch CAN networking technology for short-haul industrial networks. This introduction claims to mark the first integration of CAN capabilities with the revolutionary Cortex-M3 core.
