What this Stellaris MCU brings to a control board
The Texas Instruments LM3S6950-EQC50-A2T is a Stellaris® ARM® Cortex®-M3 MCU from the 6000 series, built around a 32-bit single-core processor running at 50 MHz. The 100-LQFP package (14x14 mm) keeps the board layout manageable for a two-layer design.
TI no longer manufactures it, and there is no factory last-time-buy window open. New designs should not target it; existing BOM lines must be filled through the independent surplus and broker channel.
For volume requirements or a last-production-run buy, a broker quote with verified date codes and traceability is the standard procurement path.
