The 80 MHz Cortex-M3 core, combined with the DMA controller and a 12-bit ADC with 16 channels, handles real-time control loops and data acquisition without stalling the CPU on every conversion. If your firmware footprint or throughput needs exceed this, you are looking at a higher-density Stellaris or a Cortex-M4 part.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
Is LM3S5G31-IBZ80-A1 obsolete?
Yes, the LM3S5G31-IBZ80-A1 is obsolete. The manufacturer has discontinued this Stellaris MCU with no last-time-buy window remaining. Supply is limited to surplus available via RFQ confirmation through independent distributors.
What is the replacement for LM3S5G31-IBZ80-A1?
There is no pin-compatible drop-in replacement from TI. The Stellaris series has been superseded by the Tiva C series, but those MCUs use different packages and peripheral sets. A board redesign targeting a Tiva TM4C or a comparable Cortex-M4 part is the recommended path.
What are the key specifications of LM3S5G31-IBZ80-A1?
This is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 MCU running at 80 MHz, with 384 KB Flash, 64K x 8 RAM, 67 I/O, a 16-channel 12-bit ADC, and interfaces including CAN, I²C, SPI, UART, and LIN. It operates from 3V to 3.6V and is rated for -40°C to 85°C. The package is a 108-BGA (10x10 mm).
