Product details

For existing production, last-time-buy windows have closed; availability is limited to surplus and independent-distribution stock. Sourcing is possible through the broker channel, but quantities are finite and pricing reflects scarcity. If you are qualifying a replacement, the Stellaris family includes pin-compatible options with similar peripheral sets — verify the exact memory and supply voltage match for your board.

2.5 V supply — plan the power rail

If your board already runs 3.3 V, you will need a dedicated LDO or a buck converter to drop to 2.5 V. No exposed thermal pad — dissipation goes through the leads, so keep the ambient airflow reasonable above 85°C.

Frequently asked questions

Is LM3S1850-EQC50-A2 obsolete?

Yes, the LM3S1850-EQC50-A2 is officially obsolete per Texas Instruments. It is no longer in production and is not recommended for new designs. Existing BOM lines can be filled from surplus stock while it lasts.

What is the replacement for LM3S1850-EQC50-A2?

Texas Instruments does not list a direct drop-in replacement for the LM3S1850-EQC50-A2 in the Stellaris family. Pin-compatible Stellaris MCUs exist with similar peripheral sets, but verify the supply voltage (2.5 V nominal) and memory size against your firmware image. Contact us with your requirements for cross-reference assistance.

Can LM3S1850-EQC50-A2 be used with 3.3V?

Running it at 3.3 V exceeds the absolute maximum rating and will damage the device. A 2.5 V regulator is required.
