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?)

My code size will be less than 32KB, but I am not sure if the SRAM of size 8KB be enough.
So you know your ROM size, but not the RAM size --- and both before you've even picked a chip, much less started coding?
I really wonder how you arrived at that belief.
And you think that makes sense?
I really wonder how you could contrive such a meaningless sentence.
I have my code ready for LPC214x controller. I was just looking for a less expensive alternate which satisfies my needs for this project. Just wanted to clarify a few doubts before doing the selection and so I posted this question. Anyways, never mind!
Thanks Jeff Malhoon!
