Product details

80 MHz core and 512 KB Flash — what they mean for a replacement search

That places it in the mid-range Cortex-M3 tier — enough throughput for a motor drive with CANopen and a USB host stack running concurrently, but not the high-end 120 MHz+ parts. The 64-LQFP package with 33 I/O and an 8-channel 12-bit ADC means the pinout and analog channel count are constraints you'll need to match in any pin-compatible replacement.

For a board that needs this exact MCU — whether it's a legacy controller in the field or a repair requiring the same firmware image — the supply path is the independent distribution market. No official replacement part number has been published by TI for this specific variant, so a pin-compatible swap would require validating a different Stellaris or a third-party Cortex-M3 with the same 64-LQFP footprint and peripheral map.

Industrial temperature grade and 3V–3.6V supply rail

The supply range of 3V to 3.6V means it runs on a single 3.3V rail — common for mixed-signal boards — and integrates a brown-out detect and POR to handle power-up sequencing cleanly.

Frequently asked questions

What is the replacement for LM3S5C56-IQR80-A1T?

Texas Instruments has not published a direct pin-compatible replacement for this specific order code. A functional replacement would require selecting another Cortex-M3 MCU in a 64-LQFP package with 80 MHz or higher core speed, 512 KB Flash, and the same peripheral set including CAN, USB OTG, and multiple serial interfaces. Any candidate needs validation against the original firmware and board layout.
