The LM3S9790-IQC80-C5T is officially obsolete per the manufacturer's product status. No last-time-buy window remains open. For any BOM line that still calls this order code, supply runs through the independent surplus and broker channel.
The 80 MHz core speed places this MCU in the mid-range Cortex-M3 performance band — fast enough to handle a real-time control loop with Ethernet stack and CAN messaging simultaneously, without needing an external protocol coprocessor. For designs that require deterministic response under interrupt load, the 80 MHz clock and the DMA controller (listed among peripherals) keep bus contention manageable.
Connectivity and I/O
Ethernet support is built in — no external PHY needed. The part also integrates CAN, USB OTG, and multiple serial interfaces (UART, I²C, SPI, SSI, Microwire, IrDA, LIN).
Supply voltage and power management
The core supply range is 1.235 V to 1.365 V.
