Product details
Overview
LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 from Texas Instruments is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller with 25 MHz maximum CPU frequency, 32 KB flash memory, 8 KB SRAM, integrated ADC (10-bit, 8-channel), two UARTs, I²C, SSI, PWM, and analog comparator. It targets motor control and industrial sensing applications requiring deterministic real-time response.
For engineers reviewing the LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 datasheet, LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 pinout, LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 application, or LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 25 MHz operation limit, QFP-48 package, integrated motor-control peripherals (PWM with dead-band), on-chip temperature sensor, and lack of Ethernet or USB interfaces.
Technical Context
The LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 implements the ARM Cortex-M3 core with Thumb-2 instruction set, NVIC for low-latency interrupt handling, and SysTick timer. It supports sleep modes (sleep/deep-sleep) with wake-up via GPIO, timer, or peripheral interrupts.
Its analog subsystem includes a single 10-bit ADC with hardware averaging and internal temperature sensor, plus one analog comparator with programmable reference. Motor control is enabled by a dedicated PWM module supporting center-aligned and edge-aligned modes with configurable dead-band generation.
Key Specifications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Analog comparator with programmable reference triggers fast shutdown before damage occurs. Use Value: Comparator output can directly assert fault line to PMIC or latch into safety circuit - sub-1 µs response avoids catastrophic failure. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM3S328-IQC25-C2 | Same core and package, but adds Ethernet MAC and PHY interface; higher pin count (64-pin LQFP) | Requires Ethernet connectivity; not drop-in due to different pinout and larger footprint | Select only if networked control is required; LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 remains optimal for cost-sensitive standalone motor control |
| Tiva C TM4C123GH6PM | Successor family with 80 MHz Cortex-M4F core, 256 KB flash, FPU, and enhanced peripherals; same 64-pin LQFP option available | Higher performance and feature set; requires PCB redesign and firmware migration | Choose for new designs needing floating-point math or future scalability; LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 suits legacy or resource-constrained deployments |
Compared with LM3S316-IGZ25-C2, LM3S328-IQC25-C2 adds Ethernet but increases board area and cost, while TM4C123GH6PM delivers significantly higher compute throughput and memory but mandates full hardware and software requalification.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LM3S316-IGZ25-C2?
The LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 operates at a maximum CPU clock frequency of 25 MHz, as specified in the production data sheet. This limit applies across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and under nominal 3.3 V supply conditions. The device does not support overclocking or frequency scaling beyond this rating, and all timing-critical peripherals (PWM, ADC, UART) are validated to function correctly at this speed.
Does the LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 include an internal temperature sensor?
Yes, the LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 integrates a factory-calibrated internal temperature sensor connected to ADC channel AIN0. Its output is linear over –40°C to +85°C with ±3°C typical accuracy, and it requires no external components. This sensor is used in the LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 for thermal monitoring in motor control and power supply applications without adding BOM cost or layout complexity.
What communication interfaces are supported by the LM3S316-IGZ25-C2?
The LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 supports UART (two channels), I²C (one master/slave), and SSI (one master/slave) interfaces. It does not include USB, CAN, Ethernet, or SPI in standalone mode - SSI serves as the primary synchronous serial interface. All interfaces are fully register-mapped and accessible via the APB bus, with dedicated NVIC interrupts and configurable GPIO remapping per the datasheet pin tables.
Is the LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 pin-compatible with other Stellaris LM3S devices?
No, the LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 is not pin-compatible with other LM3S variants such as LM3S328 or LM3S811. It uses a 48-pin LQFP package with unique signal allocation - for example, PHB0/PLB0 PWM outputs and AIN0 temperature sensor routing differ across models. Pin compatibility must be verified per device-specific pin diagrams; substitution requires schematic and layout review.
What debug interface does the LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 support?
The LM3S316-IGZ25-C2 supports JTAG debugging via a 5-pin interface (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, nTRST), compliant with IEEE 1149.1. It includes full SWD (Serial Wire Debug) capability through the same pins using TI's ICDI protocol. Debug access enables flash programming, real-time variable inspection, and hardware breakpoint setting - all supported by TI's Code Composer Studio and third-party tools like OpenOCD.
