Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required speed grade (-1) and temperature rating (Industrial). Confirm package compatibility with the PCB footprint. Ensure compliance with export regulations if applicable. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this model when an integrated MCU and FPGA are required in a single chip. Compare logic density against IGLOO 2 devices if no processor is needed. Verify power supply constraints match the 1.2 V core and I/O bank voltages. Consider thermal resistance values for heat dissipation planning.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This component belongs to the SmartFusion 2 family, which combines Flash-based FPGA technology with a hard ARM Cortex-M3 core. It is distinct from the IGLOO 2 series, which lacks the integrated processor but offers similar FPGA capabilities. The 'M2S' prefix identifies it as a SmartFusion 2 SoC device.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other variants within the SmartFusion 2 family such as M2S025T or M2S050, depending on logic density needs. Cross-family migration to IGLOO 2 requires removing processor-dependent code.
