Developers of control, automation and instrumentation applications can jumpstart designs with TI’s new MCU kits

Starting at $99, the new kits allow developers to immediately begin their designs, leveraging the advanced connectivity, data efficiency and motion control features of the newest 32-bit Stellaris MCUs. Further simplifying development, each kit includes the comprehensive StellarisWare® Peripheral Driver Library, Graphics Library, USB Library and code examples.

Available today in distribution stock are two new evaluation kits, one development kit and one reference design kit. Each contains an 80 MHz Stellaris MCU with 256K flash, 96K SRAM, StellarisWare software in ROM, as well as integrated Ethernet, USB On-the-Go (OTG)/Host/Device and CAN. The kits provide everything needed to get a developer up and running in 10 minutes or less.

From general purpose, ultra-low power MSP430 MCUs, to high performance, real-time control TMS320C2000™ MCUs – and now Cortex-M3-based 32-bit MCUs – TI offers the broadest range of embedded control solutions. Designers can accelerate designs to market by tapping into TI's complete software and hardware tools, extensive third-party offerings and technical support.
