Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M2S010-VFG400 is a direct parametric equivalent to the M2S010TS-VF400 for applications where functional and electrical compatibility is the primary requirement. Both devices share identical processor architecture, memory configuration, FPGA capacity, package specification, and peripheral support.

The primary distinction between these parts is RoHS compliance status. The M2S010-VFG400 is ROHS3 compliant, while the M2S010TS-VF400 is RoHS non-compliant. This difference is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulations or procurement policies requiring compliant components. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements and compliance mandates applicable to the end application.

Both devices maintain active product status and are available from Microchip Technology. Inventory availability may vary; the M2S010-VFG400 currently shows higher stock levels (2100 pcs) compared to the M2S010TS-VF400 (858 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are M2S010TS-VF400 and M2S010-VFG400 pin-compatible?

A: Yes. Both devices use the 400-pin VFBGA (17x17) package with 195 I/O pins. Pin assignments, signal definitions, and electrical characteristics are identical, enabling direct substitution at the board level without layout modifications.

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

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. The M2S010-VFG400 is ROHS3 compliant, while the M2S010TS-VF400 is RoHS non-compliant. All electrical specifications, memory configuration, processor speed, and peripheral support are identical.

Q: Can I substitute M2S010-VFG400 for M2S010TS-VF400 in existing designs?

A: Yes, from a functional and electrical standpoint. However, verify that your application and procurement requirements do not mandate the specific RoHS status of the original part. If RoHS compliance is required, the M2S010-VFG400 is the appropriate choice.

Q: Are there any firmware or software compatibility issues between these parts?

A: No. Both devices implement identical ARM Cortex-M3 processor architecture, memory configuration, and peripheral interfaces. Firmware and software developed for one part will execute identically on the other.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these devices?

A: Both the M2S010TS-VF400 and M2S010-VFG400 have an MSL rating of 3 with a floor life of 168 hours. This classification requires controlled storage and handling procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Do both parts support the same connectivity interfaces?

A: Yes. Both devices support CANbus, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART/USART, and USB connectivity. Peripheral support including DDR, PCIe, and SERDES is identical across both parts.
