For applications requiring extreme conservation of power, the LM3S6C11 microcontroller features
a battery-backed Hibernation module to efficiently power down the LM3S6C11 to a low-power state
during extended periods of inactivity. With a power-up/power-down sequencer, a continuous time
counter (RTC), a pair of match registers, an APB interface to the system bus, and dedicated
battery-backed memory, the Hibernation module positions the LM3S6C11 microcontroller perfectly
for battery applications.
In addition, the LM3S6C11 microcontroller offers the advantages of ARM's widely available
development tools, System-on-Chip (SoC) infrastructure IP applications, and a large user community.
Additionally, the microcontroller uses ARM's Thumb®-compatible Thumb-2 instruction set to reduce
memory requirements and, thereby, cost. Finally, the LM3S6C11 microcontroller is code-compatible
to all members of the extensive Stellaris family; providing flexibility to fit precise needs.
Texas Instruments offers a complete solution to get to market quickly, with evaluation and
development boards, white papers and application notes, an easy-to-use peripheral driver library,
and a strong support, sales, and distributor network.

Features
The LM3S6C11 microcontroller component features and general function are discussed in more
detail in the following section.
ARM Cortex-M3 Processor Core
All members of the Stellaris product family, including the LM3S6C11 microcontroller, are designed
around an ARM Cortex-M3 processor core. The ARM Cortex-M3 processor provides the core for a
high-performance, low-cost platform that meets the needs of minimal memory implementation,
reduced pin count, and low power consumption, while delivering outstanding computational
performance and exceptional system response to interrupts.
