What this Stellaris MCU brings to a control board
On-chip peripherals include a 6-channel 10-bit ADC, PWM outputs, a watchdog timer, and brown-out detect/POR reset. Connectivity covers SPI, SSI, UART/USART, Microwire, and a quadrature encoder interface (QEI) for position feedback from motors or rotary encoders. The 30 general-purpose I/O pins, combined with the internal oscillator, let this part serve as a standalone controller in compact designs where board space is tight.
