Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' indicates the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C). Confirm the package type matches the 896-pin footprint. Check for export control requirements as this product may require additional documentation for shipment from the United States.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this model when both programmable logic and a hard ARM processor are required on a single chip. Ensure the design fits within the 56K LE limit and 64 kB RAM constraint. Verify that the 896-pin BGA package is compatible with the target PCB layout and thermal management strategy.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This part belongs to the SmartFusion 2 family, which combines low-power flash technology with standard FPGA fabrics. It is distinct from the IGLOO 2 series, which lacks the integrated MSS. The M2S050 variant offers a mid-range density suitable for complex mixed-signal applications.
