Product details

The Texas Instruments LM3S6950-IBZ50-A2T is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 MCU from the Stellaris® ARM® Cortex®-M3S 6000 series, clocked at 50 MHz with 256 KB of Flash program memory and 64 KB of RAM. The 108-LFBGA package (10x10 mm) with 46 I/O lines supports compact PCB layouts in factory automation and building management equipment.

50 MHz Cortex-M3 — timing margin for Ethernet stacks

The 50 MHz core speed runs a lightweight TCP/IP stack alongside peripheral polling.

Industrial temperature range — factory-floor ready

Ethernet + serial — one chip for the gateway

Frequently asked questions

What is the replacement for LM3S6950-IBZ50-A2T?

TI does not list a direct pin-compatible successor. For new designs, migrate to a current Stellaris or Tiva-C series MCU; verify peripheral compatibility and package footprint against the original BOM.

What is the difference between LM3S6950 and LM3S6965?

The LM3S6965 runs at 60 MHz versus 50 MHz on the LM3S6950, with the same 256 KB Flash, 64 KB RAM, and 108-BGA package. The extra 10 MHz provides additional headroom for Ethernet protocol processing.

What are the specifications of LM3S6950-IBZ50-A2T?

32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 core at 50 MHz, 256 KB Flash, 64 KB RAM, Ethernet MAC+PHY, I²C, SPI, SSI, UART, IrDA, Microwire, QEI, 46 I/O, 2.25 V to 2.75 V supply, -40°C to 85°C, 108-LFBGA (10x10 mm).
