The LM3S6G65-IQC80-A2T: This part is aimed at industrial control, building automation, networked sensors, and motor-drive applications where a single-chip MCU with Ethernet connectivity and a rich peripheral set is needed without an external network controller.
The 512 KB Flash (organized as 512K x 8) holds a substantial firmware image — enough for a TCP/IP stack, application logic, and a bootloader with room to spare. The 64 KB SRAM (64K x 8) supports moderate data buffers and runtime variables. For designs that need more headroom for Ethernet packet buffers or data logging, check whether the application fits within this memory envelope; if not, a sibling with larger SRAM in the same 100-LQFP footprint may be the better pick.
Ethernet on-chip — saves a separate MAC and external PHY interface
The integrated Ethernet MAC is the standout connectivity feature.
Package and footprint — 100-LQFP (14x14 mm)
No BGA routing complexity or via-in-pad requirements. The supplier device package is 100-LQFP (14x14), confirming the footprint. Surface-mount only.
