Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Microchip datasheet DS00004750F to confirm temperature grade and package type. Ensure compliance with export regulations as indicated in distributor documentation. Confirm RoHS status and moisture sensitivity level prior to procurement.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low-power flash technology and integrated hard peripherals such as Ethernet, USB, and CAN. Validate thermal performance using the provided theta-JA values for the VF256 package. Ensure the design accounts for the 1.2V core supply voltage and appropriate I/O bank voltages.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This part belongs to the SmartFusion 2 family, which combines an MCU subsystem with an FPGA fabric. It shares architectural similarities with the IGLOO 2 FPGA series but includes additional embedded controllers. The '1' indicates the speed grade, and 'VF256' denotes the 256-pin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array package.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Compatible alternatives within the same density include the M2S005-VF256 or M2S005S-VFG256I. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before substitution.
