Buyers should plan a migration path — the official successor or a pin-compatible drop-in within the Stellaris family is the practical next step for sustaining the BOM.
Memory and peripherals — sizing the application
96 KB Flash is adequate for moderate firmware loads — a bootloader, a real-time kernel, and a handful of application tasks. The 64 KB SRAM gives headroom for packet buffers and data logging. The integrated 10-bit ADC (3 channels) handles slow analog inputs like temperature or pressure sensors without an external converter. For applications needing more memory or higher ADC resolution, a move to a larger Stellaris sibling is worth evaluating.
