TM4C1230D5PMI Technical Specifications

TM4C1230D5PMI Key Features

• ARM Cortex?M4 core with hardware floating point: delivers faster math and control loops compared with 8/16?bit MCUs.
• On?chip flash and SRAM: reduces BOM and board area while speeding development and in?field updates.
• Multiple serial interfaces (UART, I2C, SPI, USB): simplifies connectivity to sensors, displays and host systems for versatile system integration.
• 12?bit ADC and ample GPIO: supports higher resolution analog sensing and flexible digital I/O allocation for mixed?signal applications.

Typical Applications

• Motor control front?end where deterministic interrupts and fast math accelerate closed?loop control for small to mid?power drives.
• Human?machine interfaces that require multiple serial links, USB connectivity and compact flash space for firmware and assets.
• Industrial sensor aggregation nodes combining analog inputs and digital buses to pre?process signals before forwarding over field networks.
• Portable test instruments that need a balance of ADC resolution, processing performance and low external component count for smaller PCBs.

TM4C1230D5PMI Advantages vs Typical Alternatives

The part offers a stronger compute?per?dollar profile versus legacy 8?bit controllers by combining a Cortex?M4 core and integrated peripherals in a single LQFP package. It requires fewer external components than modular solutions because flash, SRAM and multiple comms interfaces are on?chip. This leads to shorter development cycles and lower board area. Compared with higher tier MCUs, it delivers competitive real?time performance with lower power and cost for mid?range embedded tasks.
