Key Features
- 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 core at up to 16.384 MHz delivering efficient real-time processing for embedded control tasks
- 72 general-purpose I/O lines in a 100-pin LQFP package maximizing peripheral connectivity on a single chip
- Integrated PWM channels enabling direct motor and power-stage control without external gate-drive logic
- On-chip DMA controller offloading data movement from ADC and serial peripherals to reduce CPU overhead
Applications
The LM3S9971-IQC80-C3T targets industrial automation, networked control nodes, and multi-axis motor-drive systems where a 32-bit processor with abundant I/O and built-in PWM outputs is required. Its 72 I/O lines and 100-pin LQFP footprint make it suitable for panel controllers and HMI interfaces connecting multiple sensors and actuators simultaneously. The device also fits energy-metering and building management applications that need concurrent ADC sampling, serial communications, and real-time event handling on a 3.3 V supply.

Frequently Asked Questions
What clock frequency does the LM3S9971-IQC80-C3T support and how does it affect real-time performance?
The LM3S9971-IQC80-C3T runs its ARM Cortex-M3 core at up to 16.384 MHz. This rate provides enough instruction throughput for PID control loops, CAN and Ethernet protocol stacks, and concurrent ADC sampling across multiple channels while keeping power dissipation low in battery-backed or thermally constrained enclosures.
How many I/O lines does the LM3S9971-IQC80-C3T provide, and what package carries them?
The device offers 72 I/O lines housed in a 100-pin LQFP (S-PQFP-G100) package. This density supports simultaneous connection of multiple UART, SPI, I2C, and ADC signals, making it well suited for panel controllers and sensor hubs that must interface dozens of field devices without an external I/O expander.
When is the LM3S9971-IQC80-C3T a better fit than a smaller 64-pin Cortex-M3 for motor-control PCBs?
When a design requires more than 48 active GPIO lines, on-chip PWM channels for multi-phase motor commutation, and DMA-backed ADC sampling all running concurrently, the 100-pin LM3S9971-IQC80-C3T avoids the pin-count bottleneck of 64-pin variants. Its 72 I/O lines can drive gate signals, read encoder feedback, and service a serial debug port without bus conflicts at 16.384 MHz.
Does the LM3S9971-IQC80-C3T integrate PWM outputs, and what power-conversion stages can it drive?
Yes, the LM3S9971-IQC80-C3T includes integrated PWM channels. These outputs can drive synchronous buck converters, H-bridge motor stages, and three-phase inverter gate drivers directly, reducing external component count. Combined with the on-chip ADC and DMA at 16.384 MHz, the PWM outputs support closed-loop current control with sub-microsecond update latency.
