Product details
Overview
LM3S1751-IQC50-A2 from Texas Instruments is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller with 256 KB flash, 64 KB SRAM, integrated hibernation module, 8-channel 12-bit ADC, and dual UARTs. It operates at 50 MHz, supports 3.3 V operation, and targets low-power industrial control applications requiring real-time responsiveness and battery-backed RTC functionality.
For engineers reviewing the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2 datasheet, LM3S1751-IQC50-A2 pinout, LM3S1751-IQC50-A2 application, or LM3S1751-IQC50-A2 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping to LQFP-100, confirmed peripheral set (ADC, PWM, SSI, I²C), and validated alternative parts for migration or sourcing continuity.
Technical Context
The LM3S1751-IQC50-A2 implements the ARM Cortex-M3 core with Thumb-2 instruction set, nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC), and memory protection unit (MPU). It integrates a hibernation module with battery-backed RTC and 2 KB of hibernate memory, enabling sub-1 µA deep-sleep current.
Peripherals include an 8-channel 12-bit ADC with hardware averaging, two UARTs with IrDA support, one SSI, one I²C, six general-purpose timers (including RTC-capable GPTM), and analog comparators. All peripherals are clocked via a configurable system clock tree derived from internal PLL or external crystal.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiva C TM4C123GH6PM | Successor part with same Cortex-M4F core, 256 KB flash, but higher 80 MHz clock, FPU, and updated peripheral set (USB, CAN). | Supports USB host/device and CAN FD - required for modern industrial gateways; not pin-compatible with LM3S1751-IQC50-A2. | Select when upgrading legacy designs needing enhanced compute, connectivity, or long-term availability beyond LM3S end-of-life. |
| STM32F103VCT6 | ARM Cortex-M3 at 72 MHz, 256 KB flash, 48 KB SRAM, no hibernation module, different peripheral mix (no hibernate RTC, no dedicated hibernate memory). | Lacks battery-backed RTC and sub-µA hibernate - requires external RTC for timekeeping during sleep; better suited for cost-sensitive non-battery applications. | Select for new designs where hibernation is unnecessary and lower unit cost is prioritized over TI ecosystem tooling. |
Compared with TM4C123GH6PM and STM32F103VCT6, the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2 uniquely delivers certified sub-1.1 µA hibernation with integrated RTC and 2 KB battery-backed RAM - critical for battery longevity in remote sensing, whereas alternatives require external components or trade off power efficiency for performance or cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2?
The LM3S1751-IQC50-A2 operates at a maximum system clock frequency of 50 MHz, as specified in the Texas Instruments SPMS029I datasheet. This frequency is achieved using the internal PLL with a 6.25 MHz reference clock derived from the main oscillator. The 50 MHz rating applies across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and 3.0–3.6 V supply range, ensuring deterministic real-time performance in demanding environments.
Does the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2 support hibernation mode with battery backup?
Yes, the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2 includes a dedicated hibernation module that supports battery-backed operation with real-time clock (RTC) functionality and retention of 2 KB of hibernate memory. When powered from a coin-cell battery via the VBAT pin, the device draws ≤1.1 µA while maintaining timekeeping and memory contents - a capability confirmed in Section 6 of the SPMS029I datasheet and validated in TI application note AN033.
What communication interfaces are integrated into the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2?
The LM3S1751-IQC50-A2 integrates two UARTs (with IrDA SIR support), one SSI (SPI-compatible), one I²C master/slave interface, and a JTAG debug interface. These are documented in Sections 12–14 of the SPMS029I datasheet. No CAN, USB, or Ethernet peripherals are present - those features appear only in later Tiva C series devices like the TM4C123.
Is the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2 pin-compatible with other Stellaris LM3S devices?
No, the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2 is not universally pin-compatible across the LM3S family. While it shares the LQFP-100 package with several variants (e.g., LM3S1968), pin functions differ significantly due to variations in peripheral sets and GPIO mappings. The SPMS029I datasheet confirms unique pin assignments for LM3S1751-IQC50-A2 in Table 5-1, and TI does not list it as a drop-in replacement for other LM3S parts.
What development tools are officially supported for the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2?
Texas Instruments officially supports the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2 with Keil MDK-ARM v4.x, IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM v6.x, and TI's Code Composer Studio v5.x (with legacy Stellaris support enabled). The StellarisWare Peripheral Driver Library and LM3S1751-specific example projects are provided in the discontinued Stellaris SDK, last updated in 2014 per TI's product change notice PCN# SLAS-789.
