Product details

Texas Instruments no longer manufactures this Stellaris ARM Cortex-M3 MCU, so new-production orders are not available through the franchised channel.

25 MHz Cortex-M3 — enough for sensor fusion and serial bridges

The memory footprint is tight — enough for a single control loop, a UART/SPI protocol stack, or a simple state machine. The 4 KB SRAM limits buffering, so any application that queues data (e.g., logging sensor reads over I²C) needs careful sizing. The 32 GPIOs in a 48-LQFP package give reasonable pinout for a small board, but the 4x10-bit ADC is basic — don't plan on high-resolution analog acquisition.

Frequently asked questions

Is LM3S316-IQN25-C2 obsolete?

Yes, the LM3S316-IQN25-C2 is listed as Obsolete. Texas Instruments no longer produces this part.

What is the replacement for LM3S316-IQN25-C2?

For a pin-compatible alternative, look at other Stellaris LM3S316 variants in the same 48-LQFP package — but verify the exact suffix (temperature grade, packaging) against your BOM. The LM3S316-IQN25 (without the -C2 suffix) may share the same die; confirm compatibility before ordering.

What is LM3S316-IQN25-C2's listed speed?

The core runs at 25 MHz. That is the maximum clock — the flash wait state must be configured correctly at this speed to avoid bus faults.
