Industrial temperature and package fit
The LPC1316FHN33,551: Rated for -40°C to 85°C ambient, this MCU is at home in outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor controllers, and engine-bay-adjacent enclosures. The 32-HVQFN (7x7 mm) with exposed pad needs a thermal via pattern under the centre pad if the design draws more than a few hundred milliamps continuously — the datasheet's recommended footprint is the one to follow. Surface-mount only; no through-hole variant exists.
Connectivity and peripherals
The I²C, SPI, SSI, SSP, and UART/USART blocks cover most on-board serial buses. Microwire compatibility is listed. The internal oscillator eliminates an external crystal for non-precision timing.
