Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the Industrial temperature grade (-40°C to 100°C) as per the datasheet's device status tables. Confirm the package type is 400-VFBGA (17x17mm). Check for any recent Product Change Notifications (PCN) regarding assembly or labeling changes that may affect supply chain logistics.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this part when both FPGA programmability and real-time MCU control are required in a single component. Ensure the design accounts for the 1.2V core voltage and appropriate I/O bank voltages. Verify thermal requirements against the junction-to-air thermal resistance data for the VF400 package under expected airflow conditions.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This component belongs to the SmartFusion® 2 family, which combines low-power flash-based FPGA technology with an integrated Microcontroller Subsystem (MSS). It is designed for applications requiring high security, reliability, and mixed-signal capabilities on a single chip.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Compatible alternatives within the same family include M2S025T-1VF400I (Commercial temp) or M2S050TS-1VF400I (Higher density). Cross-family migration to IGLOO 2 requires significant architectural changes due to the absence of the integrated MSS.
