Product details
Overview
LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 from Texas Instruments is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller with 256 KB flash, 64 KB SRAM, integrated Ethernet MAC, dual UARTs, I²C, SSI, ADC (10-bit, 8-channel), and hibernation module. It operates at 50 MHz and supports industrial motor control and networked embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 datasheet, LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 pinout, LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 application, or LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 equivalent, key selection criteria include Ethernet MAC integration, hibernation power management, 50 MHz operation, and QFP-100 package compatibility for space-constrained industrial controllers.
Technical Context
The LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 implements the ARM Cortex-M3 core with NVIC, SysTick, MPU, and debug interfaces including JTAG and SWD. Its system-level architecture integrates a dedicated hibernation module with RTC, battery-backed memory, and wake-up sources - enabling sub-μA sleep current.
Peripherals include a full Ethernet MAC (MII interface, no PHY), two UARTs with IrDA/SIR support, one I²C master/slave, two SSI modules, and an 8-channel 10-bit ADC with hardware averaging. Clocking is managed via PLL, internal oscillator, and external crystal options up to 8 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | ARM Cortex-M3, 32-bit RISC, 50 MHz max operation - enables deterministic real-time control with Thumb-2 instruction set. |
| Memory | 256 KB on-chip flash + 64 KB SRAM - sufficient for standalone Ethernet-enabled firmware with protocol stacks and application logic. |
| Ethernet Interface | Integrated MAC only (MII), requires external PHY - reduces BOM count while retaining full IEEE 802.3 compliance. |
| ADC | 10-bit, 8-channel SAR ADC with hardware averaging - supports precision analog monitoring in motor feedback or sensor acquisition. |
| Hibernation Mode | Sub-1.5 μA typical current with RTC, battery-backed RAM, and wake-on-RTC/external-pin - extends battery life in remote monitoring nodes. |
| Package | 100-pin LQFP (14 × 14 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) - compatible with standard PCB assembly and industrial thermal requirements. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 is housed in a 100-pin Low-Profile Quad Flat Package (LQFP) with 0.5 mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are defined per TI SPMS138I datasheet revision I.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VDDA, VDDC | Power supply inputs | Dedicated domains for digital core, analog, and clock circuitry - enable noise isolation and stable ADC reference. |
| GND, GNDA, GNDC | Ground returns | Separate analog/digital grounds reduce coupling; GNDA must be connected near ADC reference pins. |
| PD0–PD7, PE0–PE5, PF0–PF4, etc. | GPIO banks | Configurable as digital I/O, peripheral function pins (UART0/1, SSI0/1, I²C0, PWM, etc.) - support multiplexed peripheral routing. |
| RMII_TXEN, RMII_TXD0–1, RMII_RXD0–1, RMII_CRS_DV | Ethernet MAC signals | MII/RMII-compatible interface - connects directly to external PHY (e.g., DP83848) without level-shifting. |
| HIB_RTCCLK, HIB_WAKE, HIB_NMI | Hibernation control | Enable RTC timekeeping, external wake events, and non-maskable interrupt during hibernate - critical for low-power scheduling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Ethernet MAC | Reduces external component count and PCB area for wired industrial networking - supports TCP/IP stack execution in SRAM. |
| Hibernation Module with RTC | Enables ultra-low-power operation (<1.5 μA) with time-stamped wake-up - ideal for battery-powered data loggers and sensor gateways. |
| Dual UART with IrDA/SIR | Supports legacy serial diagnostics and infrared communication without additional transceivers - simplifies field service and remote configuration. |
| Hardware-Averaged ADC | On-the-fly 2–64 sample averaging improves effective resolution and noise immunity - eliminates need for external filtering in noisy motor drive environments. |
| MPU and NVIC | Enables memory protection and prioritized interrupt handling - essential for safety-aware firmware partitioning and deterministic response in control loops. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM3S6965-IQC50-A2 | Same package and core, but includes 10/100 Ethernet PHY integrated - eliminates external PHY but increases power and thermal load. | Better suited for space-constrained designs where PHY integration is preferred over lowest power. | Select LM3S6965-IQC50-A2 only if board layout cannot accommodate external PHY and thermal budget permits higher active power. |
| TM4C123GH6PM | Successor family with enhanced peripherals (USB, CAN, higher ADC speed), 80 MHz operation, and updated toolchain support - no hibernation module with battery-backed RAM. | Preferred for new designs requiring USB host/device or CAN bus, but lacks hibernation-RTC retention capability. | Choose TM4C123GH6PM for future-proofing and expanded connectivity; retain LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 when hibernation with battery backup is mandatory. |
Compared with LM3S6965-IQC50-A2, the LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 trades integrated PHY for lower active/sleep power and simpler thermal design; versus TM4C123GH6PM, it retains unique hibernation retention but lacks USB/CAN and modern ecosystem support - making it optimal for legacy-reliant, ultra-low-power Ethernet edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LM3S6753-IQC50-A2?
The LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 50 MHz, achieved using its internal PLL driven by an external 8 MHz crystal or internal oscillator. This frequency is specified across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and supports deterministic real-time execution for motor control and protocol stacks. The LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 does not support overclocking beyond 50 MHz per TI SPMS138I datasheet Section 5.2.4.
Does the LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 include an integrated Ethernet PHY?
No, the LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 contains only an Ethernet MAC compliant with IEEE 802.3, requiring an external PHY such as the DP83848 or LAN8720 for physical layer connectivity. This separation allows optimized power management and flexibility in PHY selection. The LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 provides MII/RMII signals directly to the PHY, with no internal transceiver circuitry.
What power modes does the LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 support, and what is its lowest sleep current?
The LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 supports Sleep, Deep-Sleep, and Hibernation modes. In Hibernation mode with RTC enabled and battery-backed RAM active, typical current consumption is 1.4 μA at 3.3 V and 25°C. This value is confirmed in TI SPMS138I datasheet Section 6.3.6 and applies only when VBAT is supplied and HIB module is configured correctly. The LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 achieves this via dedicated hibernation power domain isolation.
How many ADC channels does the LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 have, and what is their resolution?
The LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 features a single 10-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with eight input channels (AIN0–AIN7), supporting both single-ended and differential sampling. It includes hardware sample averaging (2–64 samples) to improve effective resolution and noise rejection. This ADC is documented in TI SPMS138I datasheet Section 11.3, and all eight channels are accessible via GPIO multiplexing on Port E and Port F pins.
Is the LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 pin-compatible with other Stellaris LM3S devices?
The LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 uses a 100-pin LQFP package with a specific pinout defined in TI SPMS138I datasheet Figure 4–1. It is not fully pin-compatible with other LM3S devices - for example, LM3S6965-IQC50-A2 shares the same package but differs in Ethernet PHY signal assignments and some GPIO mappings. Direct replacement requires verification of peripheral pin mapping, power domain connections, and hibernation control pin usage. The LM3S6753-IQC50-A2 pinout must be used as-is for functional design.
