Cortex-M3 with Ethernet — what the peripheral set means for your board
The LM3S6420-EQC25-A2T: On-chip memory is 96 KB Flash and 32K x 8 RAM — enough for a lightweight TCP/IP stack or a control loop with moderate data logging. The connectivity block includes Ethernet, SPI, SSI, UART/USART, IrDA, and Microwire — so this part can serve as a networked sensor hub or a fieldbus gateway without an external PHY for the Ethernet MAC. The 46 GPIOs give room for parallel displays or a bank of opto-isolated inputs.
Obsolete — sourcing reality for the BOM line
Texas Instruments lists the LM3S6420-EQC25-A2T as Obsolete. Sourced per RFQ — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at quote time. No stock-holding claim; each order is verified against the BOM quantity.
