116 I/O in a 144-LQFP — board-fit check
The 144-LQFP (20x20 mm body) gives you 116 usable I/O pins. The smaller EPM240F100C5N offers only 80 I/O, so if your BOM calls for more than 80 signals, this is the correct density tier.
Active lifecycle — no LTB to chase
If you are stocking spares for a long-life industrial system, buy what you need now and plan a second-source review only if the status changes.
