Architectural Overview
The Luminary Micro Stellaris™ family of microcontrollers—the first ARM® Cortex™-M3 based
controllers—brings high-performance 32-bit computing to cost-sensitive embedded microcontroller
applications. These pioneering parts deliver customers 32-bit performance at a cost equivalent to
legacy 8- and 16-bit devices, all in a package with a small footprint.
The LM3S310 controller in the Stellaris family offers the advantages of ARM’s widely available
development tools, System-on-Chip (SoC) infrastructure IP applications, and a large user
community. Additionally, the controller uses ARM’s Thumb®-compatible Thumb-2 instruction set to
reduce memory requirements and, thereby, cost.
Luminary Micro offers a complete solution to get to market quickly, with a customer development
board, white papers and application notes, and a strong support, sales, and distributor network.
