180 MHz Cortex-M4 with 2 MB Flash — the performance tier
The 176-LQFP package (24x24 mm) exposes 140 I/O pins, enough to interface with parallel displays, external memory buses, and multiple sensor arrays on a single board.
Peripheral set and connectivity — what the 140 I/O buy you
The connectivity block covers CANbus, Ethernet, USB OTG, multiple SPI and I²C interfaces, plus EBI/EMI for external memory or FPGA glue. For a board that needs both a display interface and wired networking, this part consolidates what would otherwise require a companion chip.
That means no last-time-buy window to track, no end-of-life notice to schedule around.
