Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the M2S050T-1FGG484 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part M2S050-FGG484 maintains identical specifications in the following key areas:

• Core processor architecture and speed (ARM Cortex-M3 at 166MHz)
• Memory configuration (256KB flash, 64KB RAM)
• FPGA fabric capacity (50K logic modules)
• Package form factor and pin count (484-FPBGA with 267 I/O)
• Peripheral and connectivity feature set
• Operating temperature range and environmental compliance

The substitution is valid because both parts belong to the same SmartFusion2 series and share the same base product number (M2S050), differing only in packaging designation format. Both parts maintain active production status and equivalent compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the M2S050T-1FGG484 and M2S050-FGG484 are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring SmartFusion2 embedded SOC functionality. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability and lead time requirements
• Supplier stock levels (M2S050T-1FGG484: 943 units; M2S050-FGG484: 1058 units)
• Procurement cost and volume pricing
• Existing design documentation and qualification status

Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications including ROHS3, REACH Unaffected status, and equivalent ECCN/HTSUS classifications. No design modifications or re-qualification are required when substituting between these parts.
