M2GL050T-FCSG325I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The M2GL050T-FCSG325I is an IGLOO 2 FPGA from Microchip Technology, featuring a 4-input LookUp Table (LUT) fabric with 50K Logic Elements. It utilizes low-power flash technology for non-volatile configuration and includes 32 KB of embedded SRAM. The device operates within a junction temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C (Commercial) or -40 °C to 100 °C (Industrial). Core supply voltage (VDD) ranges from 1.14 V to 1.26 V, while I/O banks support voltages from 1.2 V to 3.3 V. It is housed in a 325-pin FCBGA package.

• Test and measurement instrumentation with high reliability requirements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' indicates Industrial temperature grade if required. Confirm package type matches FCSG325. Check datasheet for export control classifications such as ECCN 3A991D. Ensure power supply sequencing adheres to monotonic ramp requirements specified in electrical characteristics.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model for applications needing 50K logic elements with flash-based non-volatility. Compare thermal resistance values against system airflow conditions. Verify I/O voltage compatibility across all banks. Consider speed grade '-1' for timing closure using SmartTime software.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO 2 family, which offers densities from 5K to 150K Logic Elements. It shares the same low-power flash architecture as the SmartFusion 2 SoC but lacks the integrated ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller subsystem found in the SoC variant.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other density variants within the IGLOO 2 series such as M2GL025T or M2GL090T, provided pinout and logic capacity requirements are met. Cross-family replacement with SmartFusion 2 requires accounting for the additional MSS resources.
