Overview
LM3S811-IGZ50-C2 from Texas Instruments is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller with 64 KB flash, 8 KB SRAM, integrated ADC (10-bit, 8-channel), UART, I²C, SSI, PWM, and analog comparator-designed for real-time industrial control in compact embedded systems such as motor drive supervision and sensor node firmware.
For engineers reviewing the LM3S811-IGZ50-C2 datasheet, LM3S811-IGZ50-C2 pinout, LM3S811-IGZ50-C2 application, or LM3S811-IGZ50-C2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50 MHz operation, QFP-48 package, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade, and lack of Ethernet/USB peripherals compared to higher-tier Stellaris variants.
Technical Context
The LM3S811-IGZ50-C2 implements the ARMv7-M architecture with NVIC-based interrupt handling, SysTick timer, and MPU for memory protection-enabling deterministic real-time response. It supports Thumb-2 instruction set, 3-stage pipeline, and hardware divide instructions.
Peripherals are clock-gated via the system control block and mapped into APB bus space; ADC sampling uses sequencer-driven hardware averaging up to 64 samples, while PWM modules support dead-band generation and fault shutdown-critical for motor control safety compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LM3S811-IGZ50-C2?
The LM3S811-IGZ50-C2 operates at a maximum system clock frequency of 50 MHz, derived from an internal PLL that multiplies the 4–25 MHz crystal or external clock input. This frequency is specified across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and supports deterministic real-time execution for control applications.
Does the LM3S811-IGZ50-C2 include a hardware floating-point unit?
No, the LM3S811-IGZ50-C2 does not include a hardware floating-point unit. It implements the ARM Cortex-M3 core, which supports only integer and fixed-point arithmetic. Floating-point operations must be performed in software using CMSIS-DSP libraries or compiler-generated routines-this is confirmed in the TI SPMS150J datasheet Section 1.4.1 and processor documentation.
What debug interface does the LM3S811-IGZ50-C2 support?
The LM3S811-IGZ50-C2 supports JTAG debugging via dedicated TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, and nTRST pins. It does not support SWD (Serial Wire Debug). The JTAG interface enables full boundary-scan, flash programming, and real-time debugging through TI's ICDI or third-party JTAG adapters compatible with ARM CoreSight standards.
Can the LM3S811-IGZ50-C2 operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the LM3S811-IGZ50-C2 is designed to operate from a single 3.3 V nominal supply applied to VDD, VDDA, and VDDC pins. Internal regulators generate required lower voltages; however, separate 100 nF decoupling capacitors are mandatory on each supply domain per TI layout guidelines in the SPMS150J datasheet Section 16.
Is the LM3S811-IGZ50-C2 pin-compatible with other Stellaris LM3S devices?
No, the LM3S811-IGZ50-C2 is not pin-compatible with other LM3S family members. Its 48-pin LQFP package and peripheral pin mapping (e.g., ADC inputs on PA0–PA7, UART on PD0/PD1) differ from larger variants like the LM3S1968 (100-pin) or LM3S3748 (64-pin). Pin compatibility is not claimed in any TI documentation for this part.
