Texas Instruments’ LM3S9900 Series features 256K Flash and 64K SRAM, integrated with a combination of 10/100 Ethernet MAC/PHY, USB On-The-Go/Host/Device, and Controller Area Network. In addition to several product enhancements, the LM3S9900 Series adds the latest Stellaris family features, such as an Integrated Interchip Sound (I2S) Interface, simultaneous dual ADC capability, a second watchdog timer with independent clock for safety critical applications (supported by the IEC 60730 library addition to the StellarisWare® Library), and a 16 MHz software-trimmed 1% Precision Oscillator. Plus, every new LM3S9900 Series MCU is offered with several StellarisWare software features preprogrammed in memory-saving ROM.

The Stellaris® LM3S9997 microcontroller is based on the ARM® Cortex?-M3 controller core operating at up to 80 MHz, with 256 kB flash, 64 kB SRAM, a 32-ch DMA, and ROM preloaded with the StellarisWare Driver Library, Boot Loader, AES encryption lookup tables, and a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) function. The LM3S9997 also features real-time industrial connectivity, with a 10/100 Ethernet MAC/PHY, 2 CAN controllers, USB 2.0 Full Speed OTG/Host/Device, 2 SSI / SPI controllers, 2 I2C interfaces, an I2S interface, and 3 UARTs, as well as hardware-assisted support for synchronized industrial networks utilizing the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP). The LM3S9997 microcontroller also features advanced motion control features, including 6 motion-control PWM outputs with dead-band, two quadrature encoder inputs for precise position monitoring, and 4 fault protection inputs for low-latency shutdown. The microcontroller also features intelligent analog capability, including 2 analog comparators and 16 channels of highly accurate 10-bit analog-to-digital conversion - with the ability to sample two channels simultaneously at speeds of 1M samples per second. Finally, the LM3S9997 microcontroller provides 16 digital comparators, a 24-bit systick timer, 4 32-bit or 8 16-bit general-purpose timers, 2 watchdog timers, a low drop-out voltage regulator so that only one supply voltage is required, brown-out reset, power-on reset controller, and up to 60 GPIOs.
