The Cortex-M3 Processor

The CC26xx family of microcontrollers builds on Cortex-M3 core to bring high-performance 32-bit

computing to cost-sensitive embedded microcontroller applications, such as factory automation and

control, industrial control power devices, building and home automation, and stepper motor control.

This chapter provides information on the CC26xx implementation of the Cortex-M3 processor.

For technical details on the instruction set, see the Cortex™-M3 Instruction Set Technical User's Manual.
