Description
The Stellaris LM3S316 microcontroller is based on the ARM Cortex™-M3 controller core operating at up to 25 MHz, with 16 kB flash and 4 kB SRAM. The LM3S316 also features real-time industrial connectivity, with an SSI / SPI controller, an I2C interface, and 2 UARTs. The LM3S316 microcontroller also features advanced motion control features, including 4 motion-control PWM outputs with dead-band and 1 fault protection inputs for low-latency shutdown. The microcontroller also features intelligent analog capability, including 1 analog comparators and 4 channels of highly accurate 10-bit analog-to-digital conversion – with the ability to sample at speeds of 250K samples per second. Finally, the LM3S316 microcontroller provides a 24-bit systick timer, 3 32-bit or 6 16-bit general-purpose timers, a watchdog timer, a low drop-out voltage regulator so that only one supply voltage is required, brown-out reset, power-on reset controller, and up to 32 GPIOs.
- 32-bit ARM® Cortex™-M3 25-MHz processor core with System Timer (SysTick), integrated Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC), Memory Protection Unit (MPU), and Thumb-2 instruction set
