LM3S6911-IBZ50-A2 IC MCU 32BIT 256KB FLASH 108BGA Texas Instruments

[Luminary Micro, Inc.]

 

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.

CPU Halt flag during debug
• ADC event trigger
– 16-bit Timer modes
• General-purpose timer function with an 8-bit prescaler
• Programmable one-shot timer
• Programmable periodic timer

Texas Instruments synchronous serial interfaces
– Programmable data frame size from 4 to 16 bits
– Internal loopback test mode for diagnostic/debug testing
■ UART
– Three fully programmable 16C550-type UART s with IrDA support
– Separate 16x8 transmit (TX) and 16x12 receive (RX) FIFOs to reduce
CPU interrupt service loading
– Programmable baud-rate generator with fractional divider
– Programmable FIFO length, including 1-byte deep operation providing conventional
double-buffered interface
– FIFO trigger levels of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 7/8
– Standard asynchronous communication bits for start, stop, and parity
– False-start-bit detection
– Line-break generation and detection
■ ADC
– Single- and differential-input configurations
– Four 10-bit channels (inputs) when used as single-ended inputs
– Sample rate of one million samples/second
– Flexible, configurable analog-to-digital conversion
– Four programmable sample conversion sequences from one to eight entries long,
with corresponding conversion result FIFOs
– Each sequence triggered by software or internal event (timers, analog comparators,
PWM or GPIO)
– On-chip temperature sensor
■ Analog Comparators
– Two independent integrated analog comparators
– Configurable for output to: drive an output pin, generate an interrupt,
or initiate an ADC sample sequence
– Compare external pin input to external pin input or to
internal programmable voltage reference
