It operates at 50 MHz and targets motor control, industrial automation, and embedded systems requiring deterministic real-time response.
For engineers reviewing the LM3S2739-IQC50-A2 datasheet, LM3S2739-IQC50-A2 pinout, LM3S2739-IQC50-A2 application, or LM3S2739-IQC50-A2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated CAN interface, hibernation power management, dual 32-bit general-purpose timers with PWM capability, and support for JTAG/SWD debug in a 100-pin LQFP package.
Technical Context
The LM3S2739-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 dedicated hibernation module with RTC, battery-backed RAM, and wake-up sources including external pins and RTC match events.
Peripherals include two UARTs (one with IrDA/SIR), two SSI modules, one I²C master/slave, a 12-channel 12-bit ADC with hardware averaging, four 32-bit GPTMs (two configurable as 16-bit pairs), and a single CAN 2.0B-compliant controller with 32 message objects and programmable FIFO.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM3S2678-IQC50-A2 | Same core and package but lacks CAN controller; includes Ethernet MAC and PHY interface instead | Suitable for wired networked devices where CAN is unnecessary but 10/100 Mbps Ethernet is required | Select LM3S2678-IQC50-A2 only if Ethernet connectivity outweighs CAN bus requirements |
| Tiva C TM4C123GH6PM | Successor family with enhanced Cortex-M4F core, floating-point unit, higher clock (80 MHz), and updated peripheral set; pin-compatible in 64-pin LQFP but not 100-pin | Offers improved computational throughput and DSP capability for advanced motor control or audio processing | TM4C123GH6PM requires PCB redesign due to different pin count and layout; migration path for new designs needing higher performance |
Compared with LM3S2739-IQC50-A2, LM3S2678-IQC50-A2 trades CAN for Ethernet-making it unsuitable for fieldbus networks but viable for LAN-connected nodes-while TM4C123GH6PM delivers greater compute headroom and modern peripherals at the cost of board-level incompatibility and higher BOM complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LM3S2739-IQC50-A2?
The LM3S2739-IQC50-A2 operates at a maximum system clock frequency of 50 MHz, derived from an internal PLL locked to the precision internal oscillator or an external crystal. This frequency is fully supported across all operating conditions specified in the datasheet (–40°C to +105°C ambient, 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply), and all peripherals-including ADC, timers, and CAN-are rated for synchronous operation at this speed.
Does the LM3S2739-IQC50-A2 support CAN FD or only classical CAN?
The LM3S2739-IQC50-A2 supports only Classical CAN (ISO 11898-1:2003), compliant with CAN 2.0A and 2.0B specifications. It does not implement CAN FD features such as flexible data-rate, extended payload length, or CRC enhancements. Its CAN controller handles standard (11-bit) and extended (29-bit) identifiers, bit rates up to 1 Mbps, and automatic retransmission on error-but no FD frame formatting or arbitration-phase bitrate switching.
How much battery-backed memory is available in hibernation mode on the LM3S2739-IQC50-A2?
The LM3S2739-IQC50-A2 provides 2 KB of battery-backed RAM within its hibernation module, accessible only when the device is in hibernation or waking from it. This memory retains data across full power cycles when supplied by an external backup battery (VBAT), and is used to store critical state variables, RTC configuration, and sensor logs without consuming main supply current.
Is the LM3S2739-IQC50-A2 pin-compatible with other LM3S devices in the same package?
No-LM3S2739-IQC50-A2 is not universally pin-compatible with other LM3S devices in 100-pin LQFP. While many GPIO and peripheral signals align, key differences exist: the LM3S2739 includes dedicated CAN0RX/CAN0TX pins and hibernation control signals (HIBERNATE, WAKE) absent in non-CAN or non-hibernation variants. Pin mapping must be verified per device-specific datasheet tables before substitution.
What debug interfaces does the LM3S2739-IQC50-A2 support?
The LM3S2739-IQC50-A2 supports both JTAG and Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interfaces via dedicated pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, nTRST, SWCLK, SWDIO). SWD is a 2-pin alternative to full JTAG, offering identical debug functionality-including flash programming, register inspection, and real-time breakpoint control-with reduced pin count and simplified board routing.
