Product details

Stellaris Cortex-M3 with Ethernet and CAN — what it was built for

The 32 available I/O and internal oscillator reduce external component count in space-constrained designs.

Obsolete — sourcing reality for a discontinued Stellaris MCU

This part is no longer available through franchised distribution channels.

50 MHz Cortex-M3 — what the speed and memory mean for a replacement search

The 50 MHz core speed places this MCU in the mid-range of Cortex-M3 devices — adequate for real-time control loops, Modbus-to-Ethernet bridging, and sensor fusion at sub-millisecond interrupt rates. A pin-compatible alternative within the Stellaris family is not documented in the lifecycle record; any substitute will require a board layout change.

Frequently asked questions

Is LM3S8730-IQC50-A2T obsolete?

Yes, the LM3S8730-IQC50-A2T is listed as obsolete. Texas Instruments no longer manufactures this Stellaris ARM Cortex-M3 MCU. It must be sourced through independent surplus and broker channels, not from franchised distribution.

What is the replacement for LM3S8730-IQC50-A2T?

Expect a board layout change for any substitute.
