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.
