The Texas Instruments LM3S8630-IBZ50-A2T is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller from the Stellaris 8000 series, clocked at 50 MHz.
50 MHz Cortex-M3 — what it buys you
At 50 MHz the Cortex-M3 core handles a Modbus/TCP gateway or a CANopen node. The 32 KB SRAM and 128 KB Flash support a TCP/IP stack and application code.
Texas Instruments has marked the LM3S8630-IBZ50-A2T as obsolete. No official successor is listed in the Stellaris 8000 family; the Stellaris line was folded into the Tiva-C portfolio after TI acquired Luminary Micro. For a pin-compatible drop-in you would need to evaluate the Tiva TM4C123x series or an equivalent Cortex-M4 part, but the footprint and peripheral map differ.
