Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Microchip Technology, following the acquisition of Microsemi. Confirm the suffix 'I' indicates the industrial temperature grade. Ensure the package matches the 400-VFBGA (17x17) specification. Check for current Product Change Notifications regarding assembly or labeling updates.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring mixed-signal processing with deterministic real-time control via the Cortex-M3 core. Compare logic element counts against requirements; this part offers ~27.6K LEs. Verify power supply voltage compatibility (1.2V core) and I/O count needs against the 169 available pins.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This component belongs to the SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA series, which bridges the gap between traditional MCUs and FPGAs. It utilizes a 65 nm nonvolatile flash process. The 'M2S025' designation typically corresponds to the mid-range density within the SmartFusion2 portfolio, offering a balance of performance and pin count.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other members of the SmartFusion2 family such as M2S010-VFG400I or M2S050T-VFG400I, depending on specific logic and memory requirements. Cross-family replacement with IGLOO2 devices requires verification of architectural differences.
