AFS1500-2FGG484

Overview

The AFS1500-2FGG484 is a Fusion field-programmable gate array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 38,400 configurable logic blocks and approximately 1.5 million equivalent system gates. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V, with a nominal voltage of 1.5 V. It supports a maximum operating frequency of up to 1.47 GHz and includes embedded memory capabilities. The component is housed in a 484-ball FBGA package with a 1 mm pitch, suitable for surface-mount technology applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates high-density programmable logic with embedded processor subsystems
• Supports high-speed serial interface operations for data transmission
• Provides non-volatile flash-based configuration for instant-on functionality

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Automotive electronic control units

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Microchip documentation to ensure correct temperature grade and package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status as some legacy listings may indicate non-compliance. Check for export control restrictions or required documentation for international shipping. Validate that the source document matches the exact part number to avoid confusion with similar Fusion series devices.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high logic density and integrated processing are required in a single FPGA solution. Compare against PolarFire or IGLOO2 families if lower power consumption is a primary constraint. Ensure the 484-pin FBGA footprint fits the target PCB design constraints. Verify that the 1.5V I/O standards meet the interface requirements of connected peripherals.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microsemi Fusion FPGA family, which combines SRAM-based FPGA fabric with ARM Cortex-M1 processors. It is designed for applications requiring secure, low-power, and high-reliability performance. The Fusion series bridges the gap between traditional FPGAs and microcontrollers by integrating both logic and processing cores on one die.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the AFS1500 series such as AFS1500-FG484K or M1AFS1500-2FG484I, depending on specific temperature and speed grades. Cross-family migration to PolarFire or SmartFusion2 may require significant design re-verification due to architectural differences.
