Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type associated with the FG896 suffix against official datasheets, as standard documentation lists the 896-pin variant as FGG896. Confirm that the TS designation aligns with the required data security density grade. Ensure compliance with export regulations if applicable to the destination region.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this component when both FPGA programmability and a hardened ARM Cortex-M3 controller are required on a single die. Verify that the 56K logic element capacity meets design complexity requirements. Ensure the system power budget accommodates the specified VDD and VPP supply ranges during operation and programming cycles.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This part belongs to the SmartFusion 2 family, which combines FPGA fabric with a microcontroller subsystem. The M2S050TS variant specifically denotes the 50K logic density with enhanced security features. It shares architectural similarities with IGLOO 2 FPGAs but adds the integrated MSS for complex embedded applications.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other M2S050 variants with different pin counts or speed grades, such as M2S050TS-FGG484I. For pure FPGA needs without the processor, consider the IGLOO 2 M2GL050T series. Verify thermal resistance and I/O bank configurations when migrating between packages.
