Product details

Obsolete — plan your BOM line accordingly

The LM3S5C31-IQC80-A2 is officially marked as obsolete.

80 MHz Cortex-M3 — what the speed rating means for the bus

The 80 MHz core clock on this ARM Cortex-M3 is the headline performance spec. At that speed, the 512 KB Flash needs at least one wait state inserted for zero-wait access — the flash controller handles this automatically. The 64K x 8 RAM is sized for moderate data buffers and stacks; if your application uses USB or CAN with large packet queues, budget the RAM footprint early.

Supply range is 3.0 V to 3.6 V — a single 3.3 V rail works, but watch the dropout on the regulator if you are running near the lower limit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the replacement for LM3S5C31-IQC80-A2?

No direct pin-compatible replacement is listed on the official record. The Stellaris family has been superseded by newer ARM Cortex-M portfolios from Texas Instruments, but migrating to a different MCU will require a board layout change and firmware port. For existing BOM lines, the independent channel is the practical source.
