Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TM4C1237D5PZI7R is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

  • Core processor architecture: ARM Cortex-M4F
  • Operating frequency: 80MHz
  • Package type: 100-LQFP (14x14)
  • Voltage supply range: 1.08V ~ 3.63V
  • Number of I/O pins: 69
  • Mounting type: Surface Mount
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
  • Series family: Tiva C

The TM4C123BH6PZI7R qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. While it features increased program memory (256KB versus 64KB) and expanded RAM (32K x 8 versus 24K x 8), it maintains identical core architecture, clock speed, package configuration, electrical specifications, and pin count. These memory enhancements represent functional improvements without introducing incompatibility.
