A2F200M3F-1CS288I

Soc System On Chip Overview

The A2F200M3F-1CS288I is a SmartFusion customizable system-on-chip (cSoC) integrating an ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller subsystem with ProASIC3 FPGA fabric. It features a hard 100 MHz 32-bit processor, embedded nonvolatile flash memory (eNVM), and high-speed SRAM. The device utilizes a multi-layer AHB communications matrix for up to 16 Gbps bandwidth. Key peripherals include a 10/100 Ethernet MAC, external memory controllers, I2C, UARTs, SPI, and timers. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 100°C in a 288-pin FBGA package.

Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1CS288I' against official Microchip documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and thermal specifications. Ensure that the required eNVM and eSRAM capacities match the exact sub-model variant, as these parameters vary across the A2F200 family. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined MCU and FPGA solution is required to reduce board space and power consumption. Compare the 11520 CLB count and memory sizes against the A2F500 series if higher performance or larger fabric resources are needed. Verify that the 288-pin FBGA package fits the target PCB footprint and thermal design constraints.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip SmartFusion family, which merges low-power FPGA technology with an ARM Cortex-M3 processor. It serves as a bridge between traditional discrete MCU/FPGA designs and more complex SoCs, offering deterministic real-time control alongside programmable logic flexibility in a single die.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and functionality require checking the A2F200M3F series variants. Substitutes may differ in embedded memory size or peripheral availability. Cross-referencing with the A2F500 series is possible only if additional logic resources are acceptable.
