FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LM3S300-EGZ25-C2T?
The LM3S300-EGZ25-C2T operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 25 MHz. This rating is specified under recommended DC operating conditions (3.0 V to 3.6 V supply, –40°C to +85°C ambient). The internal PLL is not present in this variant; clocking derives directly from the main oscillator or external crystal, limiting top speed to 25 MHz. System performance remains deterministic within this bound, making LM3S300-EGZ25-C2T suitable for time-critical motor control loops.
Does the LM3S300-EGZ25-C2T support USB connectivity?
No, the LM3S300-EGZ25-C2T does not include a USB controller or physical transceiver. Its serial communication peripherals consist of three UARTs, two SSI modules, and one I²C interface. For USB functionality, designers must use external USB-to-UART bridges or migrate to TI's TM4C123 series, which integrates USB OTG. The absence of USB in LM3S300-EGZ25-C2T reflects its positioning as a cost-optimized industrial MCU prior to USB integration in later Stellaris generations.
What debug interface does the LM3S300-EGZ25-C2T use?
The LM3S300-EGZ25-C2T uses a 4-pin JTAG interface compliant with IEEE 1149.1, supporting boundary-scan testing and real-time debugging via SWD-compatible TAP controller. Pins include TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO; TRST is optional. TI's Stellaris ICDI and third-party J-Link adapters fully support LM3S300-EGZ25-C2T debugging. No SWD-only mode exists-the JTAG interface is the sole standardized debug path for this device.
Is the LM3S300-EGZ25-C2T pin-compatible with other LM3S devices?
The LM3S300-EGZ25-C2T is pin-compatible with other LM3S3xx-series devices in the same 48-pin LQFP package, including LM3S310-EGZ25-C2T and LM3S360-EGZ25-C2T. Pin mappings for power, ground, JTAG, and primary peripherals (UART0, I²C0, SSI0) are identical. However, alternate function allocations for GPIO banks differ across variants-software must verify GPIOAFSEL register settings before enabling secondary peripherals to avoid functional conflict on shared pins.
What is the flash endurance specification for the LM3S300-EGZ25-C2T?
The LM3S300-EGZ25-C2T specifies 10,000 write/erase cycles for its 32 KB on-chip flash memory, with data retention guaranteed for 20 years at 85°C. Flash programming requires sector-level erasure (1 KB minimum) and uses standard ARM-aligned word writes. TI's Flash API (included in StellarisWare) handles timing and verification; no external high-voltage programming supply is needed. This endurance level supports infrequent firmware updates typical in industrial deployments, not high-frequency logging applications.
