Product details

What this Stellaris MCU brings to a control board

Obsolete — sourcing reality for sustainment programs

The 50 MHz core clock delivers roughly 1.25 DMIPS/MHz on the Cortex-M3 pipeline, translating to about 62 DMIPS of sustained throughput. That is sufficient for a single PID loop running at 10 kHz with sensor polling, a Modbus RTU stack, and a local HMI display update — without starving the DMA channels for ADC data movement.

Memory budget for firmware and data

64 KB of Flash and 12 KB of SRAM set a firm ceiling on code size and runtime variables.
