Apparently the U16 IC is completely missing its casing


its not missing it, its just a specific packaging type (flip chip). Its supposed to be used in products with full enclosure, or under a heatsink.

For example almost every single CPU and GPU nowadays uses some fcbga packaging (flip chip on ceramic/pcb carrier), but they are all hidden under heatsinks and often additional heat spreaders.
