Reference designs, peripheral sets, and software drivers are available from IC Manufacturer to accelerate development and reduce time to market.

TM4C1230E6PMI Technical Specifications

TM4C1230E6PMI Key Features

• ARM Cortex?M4 core with DSP instructions and deterministic interrupt latency for responsive real?time control.
• Integrated flash and SRAM reduce BOM and PCB area compared with separate memory architectures, simplifying board design.
• Rich peripheral set including ADC, timers, and UARTs to integrate sensing, timing, and serial communications without external chips.
• Industrial temperature rating supports deployment across wider ambient ranges for reliable field operation.

Typical Applications

• Motor control and simple drive systems that require real?time loop timing, basic analog sensing, and several digital I/O lines for control signals.
• Industrial sensors and data acquisition nodes that need a small form factor, on?chip ADC, and reliable operation across ?40 ??C to +85 ??C.
• Human?machine interface controllers in panels where GPIO, serial comms, and modest program memory enable responsive user controls.
• Embedded connectivity modules that pair UART or serial interfaces with local analog measurement and timer?based scheduling.

TM4C1230E6PMI Advantages vs Typical Alternatives

The device provides a higher integration level than many discrete MCU solutions by combining a 32?bit Cortex?M4 core with on?chip flash, SRAM, ADC, timers, and multiple UARTs. Compared with basic 8? or 16?bit controllers, it delivers far greater arithmetic performance, more memory, and richer peripheral options. The available industrial temperature rating and standard 64?pin LQFP package make it easier to swap into mid?density designs. Use the device to reduce component count, shrink PCB area, and speed up firmware development through an established ARM toolchain.
