Dear Stellaris® customer,



Today, TI has announced the acquisition of Luminary Micro and our Stellaris family of ARM® Cortex™-M3-based microcontrollers.



You will continue to have access to our award-winning portfolio of Stellaris microcontrollers and kits, but now from one of the most respected, stable semiconductor providers in the industry. As a part of TI’s expansive microcontroller portfolio, Stellaris customers will benefit from:

Assured continuity of supply with the backing of a global top-three semiconductor supplier with more than 75 years of industry experience
Access to and support from a large direct global sales force, in addition to extensive global distribution access
Ability to pair your Stellaris MCU with the complete signal chain and power management solutions, support, and applications know-how that only TI can offer



The addition of our Stellaris MCUs combined with TI’s MSP430 and TMS320C2000™ MCUs now gives you one MCU source for almost any application.



Over the next few months, you will see a number of changes to our website as we integrate our solutions with those from TI. We will continue to provide you with excellent products and support during a seamless integration with TI.
