Hardware Description
The EK-LM3S9B92 evaluation kit contains two boards: the EK-LM3S9B92 evaluation board and
the BD-ICDI JTAG debug board as described in more detail in this chapter.
Evaluation Board
The EK-LM3S9B92 evaluation board uses the Stellaris® LM3S9B92 microcontroller and includes
a 10/100 Ethernet port and a USB 2.0 full-speed OTG port. The board is intended for use with the
ICDI board, but can be used as a standalone board as well. Figure 2-1 shows the block diagram.

Microcontroller
The evaluation board uses the Stellaris EK-LM3S9B92 microcontroller. A 16 MHz crystal provides
the main oscillator clock which can directly drive the ARM core clock or can drive an internal PLL
to increase the core clock up to 80 MHz. A 25 MHz crystal is used for the Ethernet clock.
The LM3S9B92 microcontroller has an internal LDO voltage regulator that supplies power for
internal use. This rail requires only three capacitors for decoupling and is not connected to any
other circuits.
