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, enhanced CAN, USB 2.0 OTG, and larger memory (256 KB flash/32 KB SRAM). | Requires updated toolchain and firmware migration; supports floating-point math and higher bandwidth USB. | Preferred for new designs needing higher performance or USB host capability; LM3S2739-IQC50-A2T remains viable for cost-sensitive CAN-only applications. |
| STM32F103VET6 | ARM Cortex-M3 at 72 MHz, 512 KB flash/64 KB SRAM, CAN 2.0B, but no hibernation module or integrated RTC battery backup. | Lacks sub-µA retention mode - requires external RTC and backup power circuitry for long-term timekeeping. | Consider when higher flash density and USB 2.0 FS are required, and ultra-low-power hibernation is not mandatory. |
Compared with TM4C123GH6PM and STM32F103VET6, the LM3S2739-IQC50-A2T offers unique integration of CAN, hibernation, and industrial temperature rating in a mature, production-proven platform - ideal for legacy-compatible upgrades or cost-optimized industrial nodes where USB or floating-point are unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LM3S2739-IQC50-A2T?
The LM3S2739-IQC50-A2T operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 50 MHz, as specified in the Texas Instruments SPMS054I datasheet. This speed is achieved using the internal PLL with an external crystal or oscillator input. The LM3S2739-IQC50-A2T maintains full peripheral functionality-including CAN, ADC, and PWM-at this frequency, with timing margins verified across the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Does the LM3S2739-IQC50-A2T support CAN FD or only classical CAN?
The LM3S2739-IQC50-A2T supports only classical CAN 2.0A/B (ISO 11898-1), not CAN FD. Its CAN controller implements 32 message objects with identifier masking and FIFO-style transmission, but lacks the variable bit rate, extended data length, and CRC enhancements of CAN FD. For CAN FD capability, designers should consider newer TI parts such as the TM4C129x series or automotive-grade C2000™ microcontrollers.
Is there an internal temperature sensor in the LM3S2739-IQC50-A2T?
Yes, the LM3S2739-IQC50-A2T includes an on-die temperature sensor calibrated to ±3°C accuracy over –40°C to +85°C. It connects directly to ADC channel 13 and requires no external components. The LM3S2739-IQC50-A2T datasheet provides conversion formulas and calibration constants in Section 11.3.7, enabling accurate junction temperature estimation for thermal management and safety monitoring.
What debug interfaces does the LM3S2739-IQC50-A2T support?
The LM3S2739-IQC50-A2T supports JTAG and SWD (Serial Wire Debug) interfaces for programming and real-time debugging. It includes full ARM CoreSight-compliant debug features: breakpoints, watchpoints, halt/resume control, and memory inspection. The LM3S2739-IQC50-A2T uses the standard 20-pin ARM JTAG connector layout, and TI's Stellaris ICDI and third-party tools like Segger J-Link are fully compatible.
How is hibernation mode configured and exited on the LM3S2739-IQC50-A2T?
Hibernation mode on the LM3S2739-IQC50-A2T is entered by writing to the HIBCTL register and asserting the HIBREQ bit, after configuring wake sources (e.g., RTC match or external pin). Exit occurs automatically on wake event - the LM3S2739-IQC50-A2T restores clocks and memory contents, then resumes execution from the point prior to hibernation. All configuration is documented in Section 6 of the SPMS054I datasheet.
