M2S005-VF400

Soc System On Chip Overview

The M2S005-VF400 is a SmartFusion 2 System-on-Chip FPGA featuring an ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller subsystem and a 6,060-logic element fabric. It integrates 128 KB of embedded flash memory and 64 KB of SRAM within the MSS. The device operates at a maximum clock frequency of 166 MHz and supports DDR interfaces. It utilizes a 400-pin VFBGA package with dimensions of 17x17 mm. Recommended operating conditions include a core supply voltage (VDD) of 1.2 V typical, with junction temperatures ranging from 0°C to 85°C for commercial grade.

Soc System On Chip Feature Summary

Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific temperature grade suffix against project requirements; the base model implies commercial grade unless specified otherwise. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in distributor listings. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed during assembly due to moisture sensitivity level 3 classification. Cross-reference pinout documentation DS0115 for accurate footprint design.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined MCU and FPGA solution is required to reduce board space. The 6KLE density suits moderate complexity logic designs. Verify that the 400-pin VF package fits the available PCB real estate. Consider thermal resistance values from Table 3-7 if active cooling or specific airflow conditions are necessary for sustained operation at higher junction temperatures.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This part belongs to the SmartFusion 2 family, which bridges the gap between traditional MCUs and FPGAs. Unlike the IGLOO 2 series which focuses on security and low power without an integrated processor, the SmartFusion 2 includes the MSS. The '005' denotes the 6KLE density tier, while 'VF400' specifies the 17x17mm VFBGA package type.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same density and package include other variants of the M2S005 series such as M2S005-VFG400 or M2S005-TQ144, provided the pinout compatibility is verified. For higher density needs, the M2S010 series offers increased logic resources but requires software adaptation.
