80 MHz Cortex-M3 with Ethernet and USB OTG — what this MCU brings
On-chip data conversion comes from a 16-channel, 10-bit ADC, and the peripheral list includes PWM, DMA, I²S, a watchdog timer, brown-out reset, and power-on reset.
Obsolete — sourcing reality for the LM3S9B90-IBZ80-C1
Texas Instruments has marked the LM3S9B90-IBZ80-C1 as obsolete.
The 80 MHz Cortex-M3 core delivers enough throughput for real-time control loops and protocol bridging without an external PHY for Ethernet. The 256 KB Flash is adequate for a moderate application stack (TCP/IP, CANopen, USB device class drivers); the 96K x 8 SRAM leaves headroom for packet buffers and data tables. If your design relies on the Ethernet MAC+PHY and USB OTG combination, there are few pin-compatible alternatives in this package — the BGA footprint and supply voltage (1.235 V to 1.365 V core) require a board respin to substitute.
