Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the M2S050T-FGG484 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Processor Architecture: ARM Cortex-M3 core at 166MHz
• Memory Configuration: 256KB flash and 64KB RAM
• FPGA Capacity: 50K logic modules
• Package Specification: 484-FPBGA (23x23) with 267 I/O pins
• Electrical Characteristics: Operating temperature range 0°C to 85°C
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 3 rating

The M2S050-FGG484 meets all substitution criteria as a parametric equivalent. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, memory configurations, processing capabilities, and package geometry. The substitution is based on complete parameter alignment with no deviations in core functionality or physical form factor.
