128 KB Flash, 32K x 8 RAM — memory budget for firmware
The LM3S3651-IQR50-A0: The 128 KB Flash (128K x 8) and 32K x 8 SRAM place this MCU in the mid-range of the Stellaris family. The Flash suits a single firmware image with room for a modest bootloader; the SRAM handles a couple of USB buffers plus a real-time control loop's data structures.
The LM3S3651-IQR50-A0 lifecycle status is Obsolete. For existing BOM lines, procurement must source through independent distribution or the surplus channel.
Peripheral set — USB OTG plus legacy serial
The connectivity block includes I²C, SPI, SSI, Microwire, UART/USART, IrDA, and USB OTG — one of the few Stellaris parts with both USB host/device capability and a full set of legacy serial buses. Brown-out detect, POR, PWM, and WDT are on-chip for supervision and motor-control PWM generation.
