Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The M2S090T-FCS325I qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the M2S090-1FCS325I based on the following substitution criteria:

All electrical parameters are identical: ARM Cortex-M3 core at 166MHz, 512KB flash, 64KB RAM, 90K FPGA logic modules, and complete peripheral/connectivity feature set (DDR, PCIe, SERDES, CANbus, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART/USART, USB).

Package specifications match exactly: 325-FCBGA (11x14.6) with 180 I/O pins.

Operating temperature range is identical: -40°C to 100°C (TJ).

Both devices are manufactured by Microchip Technology within the SmartFusion2 series and maintain active product status.

The substitution is based on matching core processor architecture, memory configuration, FPGA capacity, package form factor, pin count, and thermal specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the M2S090-1FCS325I and M2S090T-FCS325I maintain active product status from Microchip Technology, ensuring continued manufacturing support and availability. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory requirements and supply chain considerations, as electrical and mechanical specifications are fully equivalent.

The M2S090T-FCS325I currently has higher inventory availability (1011 units versus 828 units), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications or extended lead-time mitigation strategies.

Both devices carry identical RoHS non-compliance status, REACH unaffected classification, and MSL 3 (168 hours) moisture sensitivity rating. Compliance requirements and handling procedures are equivalent for both parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can M2S090T-FCS325I be used as a direct replacement for M2S090-1FCS325I?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical core processor, memory configuration, FPGA capacity, package type, pin count, and operating temperature range. Direct substitution is supported at the component level.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both devices use the 325-FCBGA (11x14.6) package with 180 I/O pins. PCB layout and thermal management designs are compatible without modification.

Q: Do both parts support the same peripheral interfaces?

A: Yes. Both M2S090-1FCS325I and M2S090T-FCS325I include identical peripheral support: DDR, PCIe, SERDES, CANbus, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART/USART, and USB connectivity.

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

A: The parts are functionally equivalent. The difference in part number designation (1FCS versus TFCS) reflects internal Microchip Technology product line management but does not indicate functional or electrical differences.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliance status, REACH unaffected classification, and MSL 3 moisture sensitivity rating. Handling and storage requirements are the same.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is suitable for new designs. Selection should be based on current inventory availability and supply chain strategy, as both maintain active production status and equivalent specifications.
