Hi,
I want to select a new ARM controller for my project. I am thinking of going for LPC2103 which is having 32KB of FLASH and 8KB of SRAM. My code size will be less than 32KB, but I am not sure if the SRAM of size 8KB be enough. So, I have following queries.
1. What are the criteria for for selecting the controller with correct SRAM? 2. Do the manufacturers take care of this? (because I have observed that as the FLASH size on a controller increases, SRAM size on the controller also increases) 3. What is SRAM exactly used for on the controllers? (Building cache memory is one of the uses I know. What are the other uses?)

Hey Mike,
I just went the features and pricing some of the Cortex-M processors. Prices are well in my range, rather I found those cheaper than the LPC213x series. Thanks for guiding me towards ARM Cortex-M series.
