The LM3S808-IGZ50-C2T is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller from the Stellaris 800 series, clocked at 50 MHz. It carries 64 KB of Flash and 8 KB of RAM, with 28 I/O lines and an 8-channel 10-bit ADC.
The core runs at 50 MHz. This speed handles a single control loop or a Modbus RTU master without bit-banging.
Memory sizing for firmware and data
64 KB Flash and 8 KB RAM place this MCU in the small-to-medium application tier. The Flash can hold a modest bootloader plus application code for a sensor hub or a simple HMI. The 8 KB RAM limits buffering — a full Ethernet stack or large data-logging buffer will not fit.
Industrial temperature and on-chip peripherals
The 8-channel 10-bit ADC reads potentiometers or thermistors with external scaling resistors.
