The LM3S310-IQN25-C2: This part carries a Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND) status. That means TI has flagged it for eventual end-of-life — no new sockets should start with it, and existing production lines need a migration plan.
25 MHz and 16 KB Flash — sizing the fit
The 25 MHz core handles UART polling, basic PWM generation, and sensor reads.
Industrial temperature and 48-LQFP footprint
The 48-LQFP package with a 7x7 mm body is hand-solderable for prototyping and rework. The 36 I/O lines give headroom for a parallel LCD bus, buttons, and LED indicators without multiplexing.
