Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's product table to confirm temperature grade and packaging compliance. Ensure the selected variant matches the required junction temperature range and lead-free specifications for the target application environment.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost cSoC solution is required that combines an ARM Cortex-M3 core with mixed-signal capabilities. The A2F060 density is suitable for applications needing up to 11 direct analog inputs and basic serial communication interfaces without the higher resource overhead of larger family members.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This part belongs to the SmartFusion cSoC family, which integrates FPGA fabric, a hardened microcontroller subsystem, and programmable analog blocks on a single flash-based chip. The A2F060 represents the entry-level density option within this series, offering a balance of processing power and analog integration for cost-sensitive designs.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout include other A2F060 variants such as A2F060M3F-FGG256I or A2F060M3FFGG256, provided the speed grade and temperature rating meet design requirements.
