AFS600-2PQG208

Overview

The AFS600-2PQG208 is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the Microsemi Fusion family, featuring 600,000 system gates and 13,824 tiles. It utilizes an advanced 130-nm, 7-layer metal flash-based CMOS process for nonvolatile configuration. The device supports a 350 MHz system performance with input frequencies up to 350 MHz and output frequencies up to 350 MHz. It operates on a single 3.3 V power supply with an on-chip 1.5 V regulator. The package is PQG208 (Plastic Quad Flat Pack), containing 208 terminals with a 0.5 mm pitch. The -2 speed grade indicates operation at 25% faster than standard. It includes 4 Mbits of user flash memory, 1 Kbit of FlashROM, and 108 kbits of SRAM.

Feature Summary

• Instant On capability due to nonvolatile flash technology that retains program when powered off
• Integrated mixed-signal analog peripherals including a 12-bit ADC and MOSFET gate drivers
• Advanced security features with 128-bit AES encryption via JTAG and FlashLock protection
• Single-chip solution supporting mixed-voltage I/O standards from 1.5 V to 3.3 V

Applications

• Power management systems
• Smart battery charging applications
• Clock generation and management circuits
• Motor control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffixes against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm speed grade, temperature range, and packaging compliance. Ensure the component matches the required industrial or commercial specifications. Confirm RoHS status and lead-free packaging details as per the official documentation before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring high-density logic combined with analog capabilities in a compact QFP package. The -2 speed grade offers higher performance than standard variants. Consider the integrated ADC and gate drivers if discrete analog components can be eliminated. Verify pin compatibility with other Fusion family devices if migration is planned.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microsemi Fusion family of mixed-signal FPGAs. It shares architectural similarities with the AFS250 and AFS1500 models but offers intermediate logic density. The PQG208 package provides a balance between I/O count and board space. It is part of the broader portfolio that includes ARM Cortex-M1 enabled variants.

Replacement Considerations

Pin-compatible alternatives within the Fusion family include the AFS250 and AFS1500 series in the same package type, subject to logic resource requirements. Cross-family replacements require careful evaluation of I/O standards and power consumption characteristics.
