M2S005-1FGG484 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M2S005-1FGG484 is an ARM Cortex-M3 System On Chip (SOC) from Microchip Technology's SmartFusion2 product line. This embedded IC integrates a 166MHz processor with 5K logic modules FPGA fabric, 128KB flash memory, and 64KB RAM in a 484-FPBGA package. The device supports multiple connectivity standards including CANbus, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART/USART, and USB interfaces.

Currently in active production status with 785 units available in inventory, this component serves applications requiring integrated microcontroller and FPGA functionality. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures design flexibility, supply chain continuity, and access to alternative inventory sources when the primary part number becomes constrained.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2S005-1FGG484 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Identical core processor architecture (ARM Cortex-M3)
• Matching processor speed (166MHz)
• Equivalent memory configuration (128KB flash, 64KB RAM)
• Same FPGA logic module count (5K modules)
• Identical package type and pin count (484-FPBGA with 209 I/O)
• Matching connectivity peripheral set (CANbus, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART/USART, USB)
• Same operating temperature range (0°C to 85°C)
• Equivalent compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

Only parts meeting all these criteria qualify as parametric equivalents. Variations in any single parameter disqualify a part from substitution consideration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M2S005-FGG484 qualifies as a direct parametric equivalent to the M2S005-1FGG484. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, package configuration, and compliance certifications. The primary distinction is inventory availability, with the M2S005-FGG484 offering significantly higher stock levels (15100 units versus 785 units).

Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain requirements and lead time considerations. Both parts maintain active product status and equivalent RoHS3 and REACH compliance certifications, ensuring regulatory consistency in production environments.
