The 2 MB Flash (2M x 8) and 256K x 8 SRAM give enough room for a full Ethernet stack, a CANopen node, and a USB host stack without external memory. The 130 I/O lines in the 169-UFBGA package let you bring out the EBI/EMI bus for an external display or SRAM expansion while keeping sensor and actuator channels available.
Connectivity peripherals — single-chip gateway capability
That peripheral set lets a single STM32F427AIH6TR serve as a protocol gateway between an industrial Ethernet fieldbus, a CAN-based actuator network, and a USB-connected HMI — no external bridge chip needed.
169-UFBGA package — layout considerations
For designs that only need 80–100 signals, a 2-layer board with through-hole vias is feasible if the decoupling caps sit close to the BGA perimeter.
