Texas Instruments (TI) has released its new Tiva ARM MCU platform which comprises of Tiva C Series TM4C123x ARM Cortex-M4 MCUs devices. These devices are built on 65 nanometer flash process technology. The Tiva C Series TM4C123x MCUs, formerly known as Stellaris LM4F MCUs are ideal for home, building and industrial automation. Tiva MCUs are built upon common software libraries to help ease migration across future Tiva ARM MCUs for a wide range of connected applications. Scott Roller, Vice-President, MCU, TI said, "We are excited to introduce our Tiva C Series MCUs because they truly are unique to the market. Tiva C Series MCUs combine TI’s on-chip, high-performance analog, robust software ecosystem and system expertise in connected applications. Tiva C Series MCUs, along with our innovative low-power MSP, real-time control C2000 and safety MCU platforms enable our customers to choose the perfect MCU to meet their design needs." The key features of Tiva C Series MCUs include support for high-endurance non-volatile storage of user interface or configuration parameters to reduce system cost using integrated EEPROM. This series enables longer battery life and support constrained power budgets with low-power - standby currents as low as 1.6 µA. They also address varying applications needs with device options up to 256KB flash and 32KB SRAM. The MCUs can communicate with on-chip connectivity options, including USB (host, device and On-The-Go), UARTs, I2C, SSI/SPI and CAN along with support for mixed-signal applications with high-performance analog integration. The pricing for this series begins at US$2.15 at 10K quantities. The EK-TM4C123GXL Tiva ARM C Series LaunchPad is available in the market at a price of $12.99.
