A2F200M3F-1CSG288

Soc System On Chip Overview

The A2F200M3F-1CSG288 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, up to 512 Kbytes of embedded nonvolatile flash memory (eNVM), and up to 64 Kbytes of embedded SRAM (eSRAM). The device supports multi-master schemes via a multi-layer AHB communications matrix providing up to 16 Gbps bandwidth. Key peripherals include a 10/100 Ethernet MAC, external memory controllers, I2C, UART, 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 '1' indicates the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C) as per Microchip documentation. Confirm RoHS compliance status for the specific manufacturing lot. Ensure the 288-pin FBGA footprint matches the PCB design constraints. Check for any recent Process Change Notifications (PCNs) affecting assembly sites or materials.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this model when a combination of deterministic real-time processing via the Cortex-M3 and flexible digital logic via the FPGA is required. The 1CSG288 variant offers higher performance and broader temperature tolerance compared to commercial grade options. Evaluate memory requirements against the available eNVM and eSRAM capacities to determine if external memory interfaces are necessary.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip SmartFusion family, which merges flash-based FPGA technology with ARM Cortex-M3 processors. It serves as a cost-effective alternative to traditional SoCs by allowing hardware customization post-manufacturing. The A2F200M3F-1CSG288 represents a mid-range capacity option within the series, balancing logic resources with processing power.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package may include other variants from the A2F200 or A2F500 families, such as the A2F200M3E-1CSG288, provided the logic density and memory specifications meet the design requirements. Verify that the replacement part supports the same peripheral set and voltage levels.
