The LM3S5791-IQC80-C3: Stellaris ARM Cortex-M3 MCU clocked at 80 MHz, with 128 KB Flash and 64 KB RAM. Includes CAN, USB OTG, and 16-channel 10-bit ADC. Supply voltage is 1.08 V to 1.32 V.
Obsolete — sourcing reality and what replaces it
This part is marked obsolete. For new designs, consider current Stellaris series from TI. Verify pin-compatibility and supply voltage independently.
What the 80 MHz and 128 KB Flash mean for fit
80 MHz core clock supports real-time control loops. 128 KB Flash holds a moderate application. The 64 KB RAM is generous for a Cortex-M3 of this vintage — it can hold a full USB descriptor table, a CAN message queue, and a few kilobytes of ADC buffer without paging. No external RAM needed for most sensor-fusion or gateway tasks.
Peripherals and connectivity at a glance
Ten bits suit current-sense or temperature monitoring.
