Product details
Overview
LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T from Texas Instruments is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller with 256 KB flash, 32 KB SRAM, integrated hibernation module, 8-channel 12-bit ADC, and dual UARTs. It operates at 50 MHz, supports 1.8–3.6 V supply, and targets low-power industrial control and sensor interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T datasheet, LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T pinout, LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T application, or LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T equivalent, key selection criteria include hibernation-capable real-time clock support, on-chip voltage regulator, JTAG/SWD debug interface, and peripheral set optimized for deterministic motor control and battery-backed operation.
Technical Context
The LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T implements the ARMv7-M architecture with NVIC, SysTick, and MPU, enabling deterministic interrupt latency and memory protection in embedded systems. It integrates a hibernation module with RTC, battery-backed RAM, and wake-up sources including external pins and RTC match events.
Its analog subsystem includes an 8-channel 12-bit ADC with hardware averaging and internal temperature sensor, while serial interfaces comprise two UARTs (one with IrDA SIR), one SSI, and one I²C master/slave controller - all clocked from a programmable PLL-based system clock tree.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM3S1968-IQC50-A2T | Same package and core, but adds Ethernet MAC and 64 KB SRAM - no hibernation module. | Better suited for wired networked devices; lacks RTC/battery-backup capability required for ultra-low-power sleep. | Select LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T when hibernation, RTC, and sub-μA sleep current are mandatory. |
| TM4C123GH6PM | Newer generation Cortex-M4F with FPU, 256 KB flash, 32 KB SRAM, and enhanced hibernation - pin-compatible but requires PCB revision due to different pin mapping. | Supports floating-point math for sensor fusion; retains hibernation features but adds USB and CAN. | Choose TM4C123GH6PM for new designs needing higher compute throughput or USB connectivity; LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T remains optimal for legacy-compatible, cost-sensitive hibernation use cases. |
Compared with LM3S1968-IQC50-A2T and TM4C123GH6PM, the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T uniquely balances hibernation-optimized power efficiency, integrated RTC, and mature toolchain support - making it the preferred choice for battery-constrained industrial nodes where deterministic low-power operation outweighs raw compute or peripheral expansion needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T?
The LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T operates at a maximum system clock frequency of 50 MHz, achieved via its internal PLL that multiplies the crystal or external clock source. This frequency is specified under full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and 1.8–3.6 V supply conditions, and is validated in the production datasheet SPMS029I.
Does the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T include an internal voltage regulator?
Yes, the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T integrates an internal LDO regulator that generates the 1.25 V core voltage from the main VDD supply (1.8–3.6 V). This eliminates the need for an external core regulator and simplifies power design, as confirmed in Section 5.2.3 "Power Control" of the SPMS029I datasheet.
What debug interfaces does the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T support?
The LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T supports both JTAG and Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interfaces, enabling full-featured programming, real-time debugging, and trace capabilities. These interfaces are electrically compatible with TI XDS100v3-class emulators and CMSIS-DAP-compliant debug probes, as documented in Section 4 "JTAG Interface" of the SPMS029I datasheet.
How much battery-backed memory does the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T provide in hibernation mode?
The LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T provides 2 KB of battery-backed SRAM accessible during hibernation mode, retained via VBAT supply. This memory preserves critical state variables, calibration data, or timestamps across deep-sleep cycles, as defined in Section 6.3.5 "Battery-Backed Memory" of the SPMS029I datasheet.
Is the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T pin-compatible with other Stellaris LM3S devices?
No, the LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T is not universally pin-compatible across the LM3S family. While it shares the 100-pin LQFP package with several variants (e.g., LM3S1968), pin functions differ significantly - especially for hibernation-related signals (HIB, RTCCLK), analog inputs, and peripheral mappings. Always verify pinout against the specific SPMS029I datasheet for LM3S1751-IQC50-A2T.
