80 MHz Cortex-M3 with CAN and USB
The LM3S5P31-IBZ80-C1T: On-chip memory is 64 KB of flash and 24 KB of SRAM, which fits a moderate application with a real-time OS but leaves little margin for a full Ethernet or graphics library.
Peripheral set for industrial control
Connectivity includes CAN, USB (device/host/OTG), UART, SPI, I2C, IrDA, and LIN — enough to bridge a CANopen fieldbus to a USB diagnostic port while logging data over UART. The 16-channel 10-bit ADC and quadrature encoder interface (QEI) make it a natural fit for motor-feedback or sensor-input applications. 67 general-purpose I/O pins are available in the 108-BGA package — enough to interface a parallel LCD or a bank of opto-coupled inputs without an external GPIO expander.
