The 108-LFBGA package (10x10 mm) keeps the footprint compact for space-constrained PCBs.
80 MHz Cortex-M3 with Ethernet and CAN — where the cycle is today
This part is officially obsolete per the manufacturer's lifecycle record. That means TI no longer produces it, and there is no direct pin-compatible successor listed in the Stellaris family. For existing BOM lines, the window to secure last-time-buy inventory has passed; sourcing now relies on available excess stock, which we can quote against an RFQ. The spot market for this code is thin but traceable — franchised excess and verified broker lots are the typical source.
Connectivity set for gateway-class applications
The LM3S9997-IBZ80-C1 integrates Ethernet MAC+PHY, a USB OTG controller, and two CAN 2.0B interfaces alongside legacy serial options (UART, SPI, I²C, SSI, Microwire, IrDA). The 60 general-purpose I/O pins, combined with PWM, QEI, and DMA, give enough headroom for motor control or sensor fusion without an external FPGA.
Package and power supply realities
The I/O bank runs at 3.3 V.
