Memory and peripheral budget for BOM fit
The LM3S9997-IQC80-C5: The 60 general-purpose I/O pins, 16-channel 10-bit ADC, and dedicated PWM and QEI peripherals support sensor feedback and motor-control loops directly. The internal oscillator reduces external BOM count, though the core supply requires a regulated 1.235 V to 1.365 V rail, separate from the I/O voltage.
For production or repair requirements, procurement must rely on surplus inventory or broker channels.
The 1.235 V to 1.365 V core supply demands a clean low-noise rail; a local LDO or switching regulator with low ripple is recommended.
