What this part is and where it fits
The LM3S102-EGZ20-C2: This is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller from the Stellaris series, single-core processor running at 20 MHz. It carries 8 KB Flash and 2 KB RAM, with 18 I/O lines and I²C, SPI, UART interfaces.
20 MHz core — what it means for the control loop
At 20 MHz, this Cortex-M3 executes single-cycle multiply and hardware divide. The 8 KB Flash limits firmware to bootloaders or sensor fusion; the 2 KB RAM caps data buffers.
Lifecycle and sourcing note
This part carries an Active product status entry, but an end-of-life-hot flag appears in the sourcing record. That discrepancy means the part may be in a last-time-buy window. We source it through independent distribution and quote to order against an RFQ.
