Product details
Overview
LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 from Texas Instruments is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller with 256 KB flash, 64 KB SRAM, integrated ADC (12-bit, 1 MSPS), dual UARTs, SSI, I²C, PWM timers, and hibernation module. It operates at up to 50 MHz and targets motor control and industrial sensing applications requiring deterministic real-time response.
For engineers reviewing the LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 datasheet, LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 pinout, LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 application, or LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50 MHz CPU clock, hibernation mode with RTC and battery-backed memory, integrated analog peripherals, and QFP-100 package compatibility for space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 implements the ARM Cortex-M3 core with NVIC, SysTick, MPU, and debug support via JTAG/SWD. Its system architecture integrates μDMA for peripheral-to-memory transfers without CPU intervention, reducing interrupt latency in time-critical control loops.
It features a dedicated hibernation module with independent 32.768 kHz RTC, battery-backed SRAM (2 KB), and wake-up capability from deep-sleep states using external pins or RTC match events-enabling ultra-low-power operation in battery-powered monitoring systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LM3S5632-IQR50-A0?
The LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 operates at a maximum CPU clock frequency of 50 MHz. This speed is achieved using an internal PLL driven by the main oscillator or external crystal, and is fully supported across the entire industrial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C). The LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 maintains timing compliance and flash access integrity at this rate without wait states.
Does the LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 support hibernation mode with battery backup?
Yes, the LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 includes a dedicated hibernation module that supports battery-backed operation. It retains 2 KB of SRAM and maintains RTC functionality using an external 32.768 kHz crystal and VBAT supply. Typical hibernation current is 1.7 µA, enabling multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries. The LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 wakes via RTC alarm, external GPIO, or reset assertion.
How many UART interfaces does the LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 provide?
The LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 integrates two independent UART peripherals (UART0 and UART1), each supporting full-duplex asynchronous communication, programmable baud rates, FIFO buffering (16-byte depth), and hardware flow control. Both UARTs can operate simultaneously-for example, one for host diagnostics and another for fieldbus protocols like Modbus RTU-without CPU overhead due to μDMA support.
What ADC resolution and sampling rate does the LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 offer?
The LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 features a single 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with up to 1 MSPS conversion rate and eight input channels. It supports hardware averaging (2–64 samples), programmable sample sequencing, and differential input modes. The ADC's design allows direct connection to current-sense amplifiers or resistive sensors, and its performance is specified across the full industrial temperature range for the LM3S5632-IQR50-A0.
Is the LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 pin-compatible with other Stellaris devices?
The LM3S5632-IQR50-A0 uses a 100-pin LQFP package shared across multiple LM3S5xxx variants, but pin compatibility is not guaranteed across all functions. While core peripherals (GPIO, UART, SSI) map consistently, certain alternate functions (e.g., USB, CAN, or specific timer outputs) differ between models. Always verify signal mapping against the LM3S5632-IQR50-A0-specific datasheet before board reuse.
