80 MHz Cortex-M3 with USB OTG and CAN — what the BGA footprint means for layout
The LM3S5C51-IBZ80-A1: It packs 67 I/O lines, USB OTG, CAN, dual SPI, dual UART, I²C, and a 16-channel 12-bit ADC into a 108-LFBGA (10x10 mm) package.
For BOM lines that still call out this exact code, supply runs through independent distribution and surplus inventory.
Memory and peripheral budget for the firmware architect
The 67 I/O lines in a 108-ball BGA leave about 41 balls for power and ground, which means the layout engineer needs to fan out the inner rows carefully.
Connectivity set — USB OTG and CAN for industrial links
The peripheral list includes USB OTG, CAN, dual SPI, dual UART, I²C, IrDA, LIN, and Microwire. The 16-channel 12-bit ADC covers analog sensing.
