Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2S025TS-1FCS325I is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Identical core processor architecture (ARM Cortex-M3)
• Matching clock speed (166MHz)
• Equivalent memory configuration (256KB Flash, 64KB RAM)
• Same FPGA fabric capacity (25K Logic Modules)
• Identical package footprint and pin count (325-FCBGA, 11x11, 180 I/O)
• Matching peripheral set (DDR, PCIe, SERDES, CANbus, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART/USART, USB)
• Same operating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C)
• Identical MSL rating (3, 168 Hours)

The M2S025-FCSG325I meets all substitution criteria as a parametric equivalent within the SmartFusion®2 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M2S025-FCSG325I is a direct parametric substitute for the M2S025TS-1FCS325I. Both devices are active production parts from Microchip Technology with identical functional specifications, memory configuration, and package geometry.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The M2S025-FCSG325I carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while the M2S025TS-1FCS325I is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements and regional regulatory mandates. Applications subject to RoHS directives or customer specifications requiring RoHS3 compliance must use the M2S025-FCSG325I. Applications without such constraints may use either part interchangeably from a functional and electrical standpoint.

Both parts share identical REACH status, ECCN classification, and HTSUS codes, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment in export and supply chain contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are M2S025TS-1FCS325I and M2S025-FCSG325I pin-for-pin compatible?

A: Yes. Both devices use the 325-FCBGA (11x11) package with 180 I/O pins in identical positions. PCB layouts designed for one part accommodate the other without modification.

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

A: The devices are functionally and electrically identical. The difference lies in RoHS compliance certification. M2S025-FCSG325I is ROHS3 compliant; M2S025TS-1FCS325I is RoHS non-compliant. All other specifications, including processor architecture, memory, FPGA capacity, and operating parameters, are identical.

Q: Can I substitute M2S025-FCSG325I for M2S025TS-1FCS325I in existing designs?

A: Yes, from a technical and functional perspective. The substitution is valid for all electrical and mechanical parameters. Verify that your application or customer requirements do not mandate the specific RoHS status of the original part before making the substitution.

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

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 3 rating with a 168-hour floor life. Identical handling, storage, and reflow procedures apply to both devices.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges identical?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the full range of -40°C to 100°C junction temperature (TJ), supporting equivalent thermal performance in industrial and extended-temperature applications.

Q: What connectivity interfaces are supported by both parts?

A: Both M2S025TS-1FCS325I and M2S025-FCSG325I support CANbus, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART/USART, and USB interfaces, along with DDR, PCIe, and SERDES peripherals.
