The Texas Instruments LM3S8733-EQC50-A2T is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller from the Stellaris 8000 series, clocked at 50 MHz with 128 KB of Flash program memory and 64K x 8 of SRAM.
50 MHz Cortex-M3 — what the speed buys you
The 50 MHz core runs a real-time control loop with Ethernet stack overhead.
128 KB Flash and 64 KB RAM — firmware budget
128 KB of Flash holds a bootloader, a TCP/IP or CANopen stack, and application logic. The 64 KB SRAM handles packet buffers and control data structures.
