Product details

What this Cortex-M3 brings to the board

The LM3S8C62-IQC80-A1: The 100-LQFP package gives you 46 I/Os, a 16-channel 12-bit ADC, and dedicated PWM and motor-control hardware.

At 80 MHz the Cortex-M3 executes most single-cycle instructions. The integrated motor-control PWM and QEI offload timing-critical work from the core.

512 KB Flash and 64K x 8 RAM — sizing the firmware

512 KB of Flash is generous for a Cortex-M3 at this tier — enough for a full TCP/IP stack, CANopen or EtherCAT slave stack, plus application code with room for OTA staging if you manage erase granularity. The 64K x 8 SRAM (64 KB) supports moderate buffering; if your data payloads are large, budget for external SRAM or use the DMA to move data directly to peripherals.

Ethernet + CAN — the connectivity differentiator

Ethernet MAC+PHY on-chip is unusual for a Cortex-M3 MCU in this package — no external PHY chip needed, saving BOM cost and board area. The CAN 2.0B controller handles industrial fieldbus integration.

Frequently asked questions

Is LM3S8C62-IQC80-A1 RoHS compliant?

The LM3S8C62-IQC80-A1 is listed as RoHS compliant. The 100-LQFP package uses a lead-free finish, so it meets the requirements for EU RoHS and similar regulations.

Does LM3S8C62-IQC80-A1 have Ethernet connectivity?

Yes, it integrates an Ethernet MAC+PHY controller, so you can connect directly to an RJ45 with magnetics — no external PHY chip needed. This is one of the key features that distinguishes it from many Cortex-M3 MCUs.
