Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2S005S-FG484 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: manufacturer (Microchip Technology), product series (SmartFusion2), core processor architecture (ARM Cortex-M3), operating frequency (166MHz), memory configuration (128KB Flash, 64KB RAM), FPGA capacity (5K Logic Modules), package type (484-FPBGA with 23x23 dimensions), I/O count (209 pins), operating temperature range (0°C ~ 85°C), and peripheral/connectivity feature set (CANbus, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART/USART, USB, DDR).

The M2S005-FGG484 qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute because it maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters. Differences in RoHS compliance status do not affect functional substitutability but may impact regulatory requirements for specific end applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M2S005-FGG484 is a direct functional substitute for the M2S005S-FG484. Both parts maintain Active product status and identical electrical specifications. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance: the M2S005-FGG484 carries ROHS3 certification while the M2S005S-FG484 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application. Applications subject to RoHS3 requirements must use the M2S005-FGG484. Applications without RoHS constraints may use either part. Both parts share identical REACH status (REACH Unaffected) and moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 3, 168 Hours), ensuring equivalent handling and storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the M2S005-FGG484 replace the M2S005S-FG484 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The M2S005-FGG484 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. No design modifications are required. Verify that your application's regulatory framework permits the RoHS compliance difference.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The parts are functionally identical. The primary difference is RoHS certification status: M2S005S-FG484 is RoHS non-compliant, while M2S005-FGG484 is ROHS3 compliant. Both maintain identical core specifications, memory configuration, FPGA capacity, package dimensions, and I/O count.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 484-FPBGA package with 23x23mm dimensions and 209 I/O pins. PCB footprints are identical.

Q: Do these parts have the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified as MSL 3 with a 168-hour moisture sensitivity window. Identical handling, storage, and reflow procedures apply.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs subject to RoHS3 regulations, select the M2S005-FGG484. For applications without RoHS requirements, either part is acceptable based on availability and cost considerations.

Q: Are the connectivity and peripheral features identical?

A: Yes. Both parts provide identical support for CANbus, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART/USART, USB connectivity and DDR peripheral support.
