Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1' indicates the -1 speed grade and 'FG484' denotes the 484-ball FBGA package. Confirm the 'TS' designation aligns with required data security density levels. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for the target assembly process, as datasheet specifications define absolute maximum ratings that must not be exceeded during operation or storage.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this model when a combined MCU and FPGA solution is required with moderate logic density. The -1 speed grade supports frequencies up to 166MHz. Verify thermal management capabilities, as the junction-to-ambient resistance varies by airflow conditions. Ensure the design utilizes the SmartTime tool for timing closure appropriate for the chosen temperature and voltage parameters.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This part belongs to the SmartFusion® 2 family, which combines low-power flash-based FPGA fabric with an integrated microcontroller subsystem. It is designed for applications requiring high reliability and security. The M2S050 variant offers a balance between processing power and I/O count, suitable for complex embedded systems.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other variants in the SmartFusion 2 series such as M2S050T-FG484 or M2S060TS-FG484, provided pin compatibility and resource requirements are met. Cross-family migration to IGLOO 2 FPGAs requires architectural adaptation due to the absence of the integrated MSS.
