AFS600-1FG256I

Overview

The AFS600-1FG256I is a Fusion field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, featuring 600,000 system gates and 13,824 configurable logic blocks. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V. The device provides 119 input/output pins in a 256-pin FBGA package with a 17x17 mm footprint. It functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and achieves a maximum operating frequency of 350 MHz.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation for flexible interface integration
• Features embedded flash memory for non-volatile configuration storage
• Includes integrated analog-to-digital converter with multiple scalable channels

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring mixed-signal processing
• Secure communication infrastructure utilizing embedded flash technology
• Automotive electronics operating under extended temperature conditions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' indicates the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the package type matches the 256-pin FBGA specification. Check for RoHS compliance status as older revisions may differ. Ensure the design accounts for the 1.5V core voltage requirements during power-up sequences.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-density logic combined with analog capabilities is required. Compare against the M1AFS600 series if ARM processor integration is needed instead of pure FPGA fabric. Verify that the 119 available I/O pins meet the interface count requirements for the target application design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Fusion family of FPGAs, which uniquely combines programmable logic with analog peripherals. It serves as a bridge between traditional digital logic devices and complex system-on-chip solutions. The architecture emphasizes low power consumption and security through its embedded flash technology compared to volatile SRAM-based alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

The AFS600-1FG484I offers identical logic capacity but utilizes a 484-pin package. The M1AFS600-FG256I provides similar density but includes an integrated ARM Cortex-M1 processor core.
