The LM3S5G31-IQC80-A2: Its 80 MHz core clock and 384 KB of Flash program memory provide enough headroom for a single real-time control loop with a moderate communications stack — think motor-drive firmware with CANopen, or a multi-axis motion controller running sensor fusion. The 16-channel 12-bit ADC covers multi-phase current sensing or temperature monitoring without an external multiplexer.

Obsolete — sourcing reality and the successor question
For production BOMs that require this exact footprint and peripheral set, the only channel is independent distribution —
