A2F060M3E-FG256I

Soc System On Chip Overview

The Microsemi A2F060M3E-FG256I is a SmartFusion customizable system-on-chip (cSoC) featuring a hardened 100 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 processor and an FPGA fabric with 60,000 system gates. It integrates 128 Kbytes of embedded nonvolatile flash memory (eNVM) and 16 Kbytes of embedded SRAM (eSRAM). The device includes one 12-bit SAR ADC, one sigma-delta DAC, two comparators, and two high-voltage bipolar monitors. It operates on a single 3.3 V supply with an internal 1.5 V regulator and utilizes a 256-pin Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (FG256) package.
