M2S005S-FGG484 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M2S005S-FGG484 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 is Active in product status and widely used in applications requiring combined MCU and FPGA functionality with industrial connectivity options including CANbus, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART/USART, and USB interfaces.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when supply chain optimization is required, or when design flexibility allows for alternative sourcing while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2S005S-FGG484 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Microchip Technology
• Series: SmartFusion2
• Core Processor: ARM Cortex-M3
• Speed: 166MHz
• Flash Memory: 128KB
• RAM Memory: 64KB
• FPGA Logic Modules: 5K
• Package Type: 484-FPBGA (23x23)
• Number of I/O: 209
• Connectivity: CANbus, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART/USART, USB
• Operating Temperature Range: 0°C to 85°C (TJ)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes. No functional or electrical derating is required when substituting between equivalent parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
