Product details
Overview
LM3S2739-EQC50-A2 from Texas Instruments is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller with 256 KB flash, 64 KB SRAM, integrated CAN 2.0B controller, 12-bit ADC (up to 1 MSPS), and hibernation module supporting RTC and battery-backed memory. It operates at 50 MHz and targets motor control and industrial automation systems requiring deterministic real-time response.
For engineers reviewing the LM3S2739-EQC50-A2 datasheet, LM3S2739-EQC50-A2 pinout, LM3S2739-EQC50-A2 application, or LM3S2739-EQC50-A2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated CAN interface, hibernation power management, 12-bit ADC sampling rate, and QFP-100 package compatibility with industrial temperature range operation.
Technical Context
The LM3S2739-EQC50-A2 implements the ARM Cortex-M3 core with nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC), memory protection unit (MPU), and SysTick timer. It integrates dual 32-bit general-purpose timers, four UARTs (one with IrDA/SIR), two SSI modules, and an I²C interface - all clocked from a configurable PLL-based system clock up to 50 MHz.
Its analog subsystem includes a 12-bit, 8-channel ADC with hardware averaging and differential input support, while the hibernation module provides RTC, battery-backed RAM, and wake-on-RTC/external-pin capability - enabling ultra-low-power operation down to 1.8 µA in hibernate mode with RTC active.

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 pinout, 80 MHz Cortex-M4F core, FPU, enhanced peripherals, and updated silicon revision | Supports floating-point math-intensive control loops and USB device/host; lacks hibernate module with battery-backed RAM | Select when migrating legacy LM3S designs to higher performance or requiring USB connectivity |
| STM32F103VET6 | ARM Cortex-M3 at 72 MHz, 512 KB flash, 64 KB SRAM, but no native CAN 2.0B controller - requires external transceiver and software stack | Better suited for cost-sensitive consumer applications; lacks hibernate power optimization and integrated RTC battery backup | Select when CAN is optional or implemented via external IC, and lower unit cost is prioritized over industrial low-power features |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LM3S2739-EQC50-A2?
The LM3S2739-EQC50-A2 operates at a maximum system clock frequency of 50 MHz, achieved via an internal PLL that accepts a 1–25 MHz crystal or external clock source. This frequency enables sub-microsecond interrupt response and supports real-time motor control algorithms without external acceleration. The LM3S2739-EQC50-A2 maintains timing specifications across its full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C).
Does the LM3S2739-EQC50-A2 include a hardware CAN controller?
Yes, the LM3S2739-EQC50-A2 integrates a single CAN 2.0B-compliant controller with 32 message objects, programmable acceptance filtering, and automatic retransmission. It supports bit rates up to 1 Mbps and requires only an external CAN transceiver (e.g., SN65HVD230) for physical layer compliance. The LM3S2739-EQC50-A2's CAN module is fully register-compatible with TI's StellarisWare driver library.
What power-saving modes does the LM3S2739-EQC50-A2 support?
The LM3S2739-EQC50-A2 supports Sleep, Deep-Sleep, and Hibernate modes. Hibernate mode draws just 1.8 µA while retaining RTC operation and 2 KB of battery-backed SRAM. Wake-up sources include RTC match, external GPIO, and CAN activity. This makes the LM3S2739-EQC50-A2 ideal for battery-powered remote sensors and metering applications where multi-year operation is required.
Is the LM3S2739-EQC50-A2 pin-compatible with other Stellaris devices?
The LM3S2739-EQC50-A2 uses a 100-pin LQFP package (EQC suffix) shared with several LM3S devices, including LM3S8962 and LM3S811, but pin functions differ significantly due to peripheral configuration. While mechanical footprint matches, electrical pin mapping is not interchangeable - PCB layout must be verified against the LM3S2739-EQC50-A2-specific pinout table in the datasheet before reuse.
What development tools are supported for the LM3S2739-EQC50-A2?
The LM3S2739-EQC50-A2 is supported by TI's Code Composer Studio IDE, Keil MDK-ARM, and IAR Embedded Workbench. TI provides StellarisWare Peripheral Driver Library and evaluation boards such as the EK-LM3S8962. Debugging uses JTAG/SWD via the LM3S2739-EQC50-A2's dedicated SWDIO/SWCLK pins, and TI's In-Circuit Debug Interface (ICDI) firmware enables drag-and-drop programming.
