The ARM processor TM4C1294KCPDTI3R is the first RISC microprocessor with low power consumption cost designed by Acorn Co., Ltd. Its full name is Advanced RISC Machine. The ARM processor itself is a 32-bit design, but it is also equipped with a 16-bit instruction set, which generally saves up to 35% over the equivalent 32-bit code, but retains all the advantages of a 32-bit system.
