Lead Partner Remained Undisclosed for 18 Months While Stellaris Family in Development; Product Available Now with Full Development Kits
Luminary Micro (www.luminarymicro.com), a fabless semiconductor company that designs, markets, and sells ARM(R) Cortex(TM)-M3 processor-based microcontrollers, announces today the availability of the first members of its Stellaris(TM) family of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs), with an entry-level price of $1.00. The Stellaris family is the world's first silicon implementation of the ARM Cortex- M3 processor, and is the first time that ARM, based in the UK, has enabled a start-up company to be a lead licensing partner for one of its microprocessors. The first two members of the Stellaris family -- the LM3S101 and LM3S102 -- are available now.
The Stellaris line of MCUs is targeted at embedded and industrial applications, such as building and home automation; factory automation and control; and industrial control power devices. The combined embedded and industrial markets represent over $1.4 billion in total available market (TAM) opportunities for these products.
"The Luminary Micro team's reputation and track record in innovation and execution made them an obvious choice for the silicon 'debut' of the Cortex-M3 processor," said Mike Inglis, EVP of Marketing, ARM. "Together the Cortex(TM)- M3 processor, the RealView(R) Microcontroller Development Kit and Luminary Micro's implementation provide a pervasive 32-bit MCU solution that will help break down traditional cost barriers between 8/16-bit and 32-bit, enabling embedded developers to consolidate their software platforms and tool chain costs all the way through to entry level designs."
