50 MHz Cortex-M3 with 64 KB Flash — what it handles
The core is an ARM Cortex-M3 running at 50 MHz, which is enough throughput for real-time control loops, sensor fusion, and protocol bridging in industrial or building-automation nodes.
On-chip data converters are an 8-channel, 10-bit ADC.
The 48-LQFP package measures 7 mm x 7 mm with a 0.5 mm pitch — a common footprint that reuses existing board layouts from other Stellaris or general-purpose LQFP-48 MCUs. Surface-mount assembly is standard; no exposed thermal pad, so dissipation relies on the leadframe and board copper.
