Product details

This part is officially obsolete (EOL). No further factory orders are possible, and the last-time-buy window has closed. If you have an active BOM line that calls out LM3S5C36-IQR80-A1T, the only sourcing path is the independent surplus and broker channel — which is exactly what we cover. Do not assume you can still buy it through standard distribution — you cannot.

80 MHz on a single-cycle Cortex-M3 delivers roughly 80 DMIPS. That is enough for a field-oriented motor control loop with CANopen stack and headroom for a Modbus RTU slave.

512 KB Flash / 64 KB RAM — sizing the firmware

512 KB of Flash holds a full application with a real-time OS, a CANopen or USB stack, and a bootloader for field updates. The 64 KB SRAM is tight for large data buffers.

The -40 to 85°C rating suits factory-floor, outdoor telecom, and engine-bay-adjacent enclosures. The 64-LQFP (10x10 mm) is a common footprint.

Frequently asked questions

Is LM3S5C36-IQR80-A1T obsolete?

Yes, the LM3S5C36-IQR80-A1T is officially obsolete (EOL). No further factory orders are accepted. It is available only through independent surplus and broker channels.

What is the replacement for LM3S5C36-IQR80-A1T?

There is no official direct-replacement part listed for the LM3S5C36-IQR80-A1T. The Stellaris family has been discontinued by Texas Instruments. A pin-compatible replacement would need to match the 64-LQFP footprint, 80 MHz Cortex-M3 core, 512 KB Flash, and peripheral set including CAN and USB — but no single part is documented as a drop-in. A design review is required.

What are the specifications of LM3S5C36-IQR80-A1T?

The LM3S5C36-IQR80-A1T is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 MCU running at 80 MHz, with 512 KB Flash, 64 KB RAM, 33 I/O lines, an 8-channel 12-bit ADC, and connectivity including CAN, USB, I2C, SPI, SSI, UART, and IrDA. It comes in a 64-LQFP package and is rated for -40 to 85°C operation.

Does LM3S5C36-IQR80-A1T have USB?

Yes, the LM3S5C36-IQR80-A1T includes USB connectivity as part of its peripheral set.

What package is LM3S5C36-IQR80-A1T?

The LM3S5C36-IQR80-A1T is packaged in a 64-LQFP (10x10 mm) surface-mount package.
