M2S005S-FG484I

Soc System On Chip Overview

The M2S005S-FG484I is a SmartFusion 2 System-on-Chip FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology. It integrates an ARM Cortex-M3 processor with a 4-input LookUp Table (LUT) based FPGA fabric containing approximately 5,000 logic elements. The device features embedded non-volatile memory and supports industrial operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C. Key electrical specifications include a core supply voltage (VDD) of 1.14V to 1.26V and I/O bank voltages supporting standards from 1.2V to 3.3V. It utilizes a 484-pin FineLine BGA package.

Soc System On Chip Feature Summary

• Integrates an ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller subsystem with up to 166 MHz clock speed
• Contains approximately 5K logic elements within the FPGA fabric
• Supports industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C)
• Features embedded flash technology for non-volatile configuration

Soc System On Chip Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring real-time processing
• Secure embedded applications utilizing data security densities
• Low-power IoT edge devices
• Automotive electronics compliant with harsh environment standards

Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C). Confirm the 'FG484' designation matches the required 484-pin FineLine BGA footprint. Ensure design files account for the SmartFusion 2 power sequencing requirements, specifically the monotonic ramping of VDD and VPP supplies during programming and operation.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined MCU and FPGA architecture is needed for deterministic real-time control alongside programmable logic. Compare against the IGLOO 2 family if only FPGA fabric without an integrated processor is sufficient. Verify that the 5K logic element density meets the design complexity before considering higher-density variants like the M2S010 or M2S025.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This part belongs to the SmartFusion 2 family, which distinguishes itself from the IGLOO 2 series by including a hard ARM Cortex-M3 core. The '005S' prefix indicates the 5K logic density with enhanced data security features. It serves as a bridge between traditional MCUs and high-end FPGAs, offering lower power consumption than SRAM-based counterparts while maintaining reconfigurability.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package are limited to other SmartFusion 2 devices with equal or greater logic density, such as the M2S010S-FG484I. Cross-family replacement with IGLOO 2 devices requires significant firmware and hardware redesign due to the absence of the integrated ARM core.
