Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM3S2965-IQC50-A2 | Same Cortex-M3 core, 512 KB flash, 96 KB SRAM, identical peripherals and pinout; higher memory density | Preferred where firmware complexity or data logging depth exceeds 256 KB flash capacity | Select when future firmware growth or OTA update partitioning requires >256 KB code space |
| TMS570LS0432PZT | ARM Cortex-R4F safety-certified core, dual-lockstep execution, 3 MB flash, no hibernation module, different CAN implementation (dual CAN) | Targeted at ASIL-B automotive safety applications; lacks ultra-low-power hibernation capability | Choose only if functional safety certification (ISO 26262) is mandatory; not suitable for battery-life-critical designs |
Compared with LM3S2620-IBZ25-A2, LM3S2965-IQC50-A2 offers scalable memory without changing PCB layout, while TMS570LS0432PZT trades hibernation capability for safety features-making it unsuitable for energy-constrained deployments but necessary for certified automotive ECUs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LM3S2620-IBZ25-A2?
The LM3S2620-IBZ25-A2 operates at a maximum system clock frequency of 50 MHz. This is achieved using an internal PLL that multiplies the input crystal or oscillator frequency. The ARM Cortex-M3 core executes Thumb-2 instructions at this rate, enabling real-time control loops and fast peripheral response. All timing specifications-including ADC conversion time, UART baud rate accuracy, and CAN bit timing-are validated at this 50 MHz condition.
Does the LM3S2620-IBZ25-A2 support in-system programming via UART or USB?
No, the LM3S2620-IBZ25-A2 does not support in-system programming via UART or USB. Firmware updates require JTAG or SWD debug interface access using tools such as TI's ICDI-based debuggers or third-party CMSIS-DAP adapters. The device lacks a ROM-based bootloader for serial programming; all flash programming must be performed through the debug port or via application-level flash write routines executed from SRAM.
What is the hibernation current specification for the LM3S2620-IBZ25-A2?
The hibernation current for the LM3S2620-IBZ25-A2 is 1.7 µA typical at 25°C with the internal RTC running from a 32.768 kHz external crystal and battery-backed RAM enabled. This value assumes VDD = 2.5 V and all non-hibernate peripherals disabled. Measured under these conditions, it enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in wireless sensor applications where periodic wake-up and data transmission are required.
Is the LM3S2620-IBZ25-A2 pin-compatible with other Stellaris LM3S devices?
The LM3S2620-IBZ25-A2 is pin-compatible with other 100-pin LQFP Stellaris devices in the LM3S2xxx series, including LM3S2965-IQC50-A2 and LM3S2730-IQC50-A2. Identical pin mapping for power, ground, GPIO, CAN, UART, SSI, I²C, and reset signals allows drop-in replacement where flash/SRAM size differences do not impact firmware footprint. However, it is not compatible with 64-pin or 144-pin variants due to differing pin counts and peripheral allocations.
What development tools are officially supported for the LM3S2620-IBZ25-A2?
Texas Instruments officially supports Keil MDK-ARM, IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM, and TI's Code Composer Studio v5.x for LM3S2620-IBZ25-A2 firmware development. Debugging uses JTAG or SWD via TI's XDS100v2/v3 or ICDI-based launchpads. StellarisWare Peripheral Driver Library and example projects-including CAN echo, ADC sampling, and hibernation wakeup-are provided in the official SDK and validated against the LM3S2620-IBZ25-A2 silicon revision.
