Product details
Overview
LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 from Texas Instruments is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller with 256 KB flash, 64 KB SRAM, integrated hibernation module, 12-bit ADC (up to 1 MSPS), and dual UARTs. It operates at 50 MHz, supports -40°C to +105°C industrial temperature range, and targets embedded control in motor drives and industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 datasheet, LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 pinout, LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 application, or LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 equivalent, key selection criteria include hibernation-enabled low-power operation, on-chip RTC with battery-backed memory, and dual UART + I²C + SSI peripheral set for sensor hub and motor control firmware integration.
Technical Context
The LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 implements the ARM Cortex-M3 core with NVIC, SysTick, and MPU, supporting Thumb-2 instruction set and deterministic interrupt latency down to 12 cycles. Its system-level architecture integrates a hibernation module with real-time clock, battery-backed RAM, and wake-on-RTC/external-pin capability.
Peripherals include a 12-bit, 8-channel ADC with hardware averaging and temperature sensor, two UARTs with IrDA/SIR support, one I²C master/slave, one SSI, eight PWM outputs, and four 32-bit general-purpose timers-two of which support RTC mode. All peripherals are accessible via APB bus with configurable clock gating.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM3S1968-IQC50-A2 | Same core and package, but adds Ethernet MAC and PHY interface; flash increased to 256 KB, SRAM to 64 KB. | Targeted at networked industrial controllers requiring wired Ethernet connectivity. | Select LM3S1968 only if Ethernet is required; otherwise LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 offers lower cost and identical peripheral set for standalone control. |
| TM4C123GH6PM | Newer generation ARM Cortex-M4F core, 80 MHz, FPU, 256 KB flash, 32 KB SRAM, same 100-pin LQFP footprint. | Requires firmware porting due to peripheral register map changes and added FPU instructions. | TM4C123GH6PM offers higher performance and floating-point capability but lacks hibernation module - not suitable for ultra-low-power RTC-critical designs. |
Compared with LM3S1968-IQC50-A2 and TM4C123GH6PM, the LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 uniquely balances industrial temperature operation, hibernation-optimized power management, and mature peripheral compatibility - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-aware embedded control where Ethernet or FPU are unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LM3S1751-EQC50-A2?
The LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 operates at a maximum system clock frequency of 50 MHz. This speed is achieved using the internal PLL driven by an external 4–25 MHz crystal or the internal 6 MHz oscillator. The 50 MHz clock feeds the Cortex-M3 core, memory subsystem, and all APB peripherals, enabling deterministic real-time execution for motor control and sensor processing tasks within the LM3S1751-EQC50-A2.
Does the LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 support hibernation mode with RTC and battery-backed memory?
Yes, the LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 integrates a dedicated hibernation module that supports RTC operation, 2 KB of battery-backed RAM, and wake-up from multiple sources including RTC match, external pins, and HIB interrupt. When powered from HBAT (a 3 V coin cell), the module draws as little as 1.5 µA while maintaining accurate timekeeping and preserving critical state - a core capability confirmed in the LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 datasheet Section 6.
How many ADC channels and what resolution does the LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 provide?
The LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 features a single 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with eight analog input channels. It supports up to 1 MSPS sampling rate, hardware sample averaging (2x–64x), and an integrated temperature sensor. These specifications are fully documented in Section 11 of the LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 datasheet and enable precision analog measurement in motor current sensing and environmental monitoring applications using the LM3S1751-EQC50-A2.
What communication interfaces are available on the LM3S1751-EQC50-A2?
The LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 provides two UARTs (with IrDA/SIR support), one I²C master/slave interface, one SSI (SPI-compatible) port, and GPIO-configurable bit-banged protocols. No CAN or USB interface is integrated. These interfaces are mapped to specific pins in the 100-pin LQFP package and are fully register-accessible per the LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 peripheral documentation - supporting sensor networking, diagnostics, and peripheral expansion without external transceivers.
Is the LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 pin-compatible with other Stellaris LM3S devices?
The LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 uses a 100-pin LQFP (EQC) package with a defined pinout documented in Section 1.3 and Appendix A of its datasheet. While several LM3S devices share the EQC package, pin compatibility is not guaranteed across variants - for example, LM3S1968-IQC50-A2 repurposes certain pins for Ethernet PHY signals. Engineers must verify signal mapping per device-specific datasheets; the LM3S1751-EQC50-A2 pinout is unique to its feature set and cannot be assumed interchangeable.
