80 MHz Cortex-M3 with USB OTG and CAN — what the peripheral set means
The LM3S5791-IQC80-B1: USB OTG (On-The-Go) lets the MCU act as either host or device, useful for data-logging pendrives or direct connection to a tablet for field diagnostics. Dual CAN 2.0 controllers support industrial and automotive networks alongside LIN and IrDA — a combination that reduces BOM count in multi-protocol gateway designs. The 16-channel 10-bit ADC samples at up to 1 Msps, adequate for current sensing and temperature monitoring in motor drives.
Obsolete — sourcing path for sustainment programs
The LM3S5791-IQC80- carries an Obsolete lifecycle status. TI has ended production; no last-time-buy window remains open. For existing designs already qualified on this MCU, the independent distribution channel is the practical sourcing route. No official TI successor has been published for this exact order code, so any replacement requires a full design review of pin-compatible Stellaris family options or a migration to a newer Cortex-M4 platform.
