A2F060M3E-1FGG256M

Soc System On Chip Overview

The Microsemi A2F060M3E-1FGG256M is a military-grade SmartFusion customizable system-on-chip (cSoC) featuring a hard 50 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 processor, 60,000 FPGA system gates, and 128 Kbytes of embedded nonvolatile flash memory. It integrates programmable analog resources including one 12-bit SAR ADC, one sigma-delta DAC, and signal conditioning blocks. The device operates from -55°C to +125°C, utilizes a 256-pin FG package with 1 mm pitch, and supports single 3.3 V power supply with an on-chip 1.5 V regulator.

Soc System On Chip Feature Summary

• Military temperature qualification (-55°C to +125°C) with full testing across the range
• Hard 50 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller subsystem with MPU and DMA
• Nonvolatile flash-based FPGA fabric immune to neutron-induced configuration loss
• Integrated Analog Compute Engine (ACE) for offloading analog processing

Soc System On Chip Applications

• Systems requiring immunity to firm errors from high-energy neutrons
• Applications demanding secure in-system programming via AES encryption
• Embedded control systems utilizing integrated analog front-end capabilities

Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify that the 'M' suffix corresponds to the Military Temperature Grade (-55°C to +125°C). Confirm the specific speed grade '-1' indicates the 50 MHz MSS operation. Ensure the ordering code matches the required 128 Kbytes eNVM size designated by the 'E' suffix.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this part when military environmental compliance and radiation hardness against firm errors are mandatory. The 50 MHz MSS speed is lower than commercial variants; verify if higher processing throughput is required for the application logic.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This component belongs to the SmartFusion cSoC family based on the ProASIC3 architecture. It combines FPGA fabric, a hardened ARM Cortex-M3 core, and programmable analog blocks on a single flash process, eliminating the need for external boot PROMs.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Commercial or industrial versions of the A2F060M3 series lack the specified military temperature range and full neutron testing. Substitution requires validation of thermal performance and reliability standards.
