The LM3S1958-EQC50-A2 is obsolete per the manufacturer.
The 50 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 core delivers the throughput for a Modbus TCP gateway or multi-loop PID controller. Any pin-compatible replacement must match this speed.
256 KB Flash / 64 KB RAM — firmware and buffer sizing
The 256 KB Flash and 64 KB RAM support a bootloader, TCP/IP stack, and application pages. A replacement must match these memory sizes to avoid breaking the binary.
Rated -40 to 105 °C, the LM3S1958-EQC50-A2 is specified for motor-drive cabinets and outdoor telecom shelters. The 100-LQFP (14x14 mm) footprint with 52 I/O is the mechanical anchor for any replacement layout.
Connectivity covers I²C, SPI, SSI, Microwire, UART/USART, and IrDA, plus an 8-channel 10-bit ADC.
