M2S010T-FG484

Soc System On Chip Overview

The M2S010T-FG484 is a SmartFusion 2 System-on-Chip FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology. It integrates an ARM Cortex-M3 processor with a 12,084-logic element FPGA fabric in a 484-pin FineLine BGA package. The device operates at a maximum clock frequency of 166 MHz and includes 256 kB of program memory and 64 kB of data RAM. It supports commercial temperature ranges from 0°C to 85°C and industrial ranges from -40°C to 100°C.

Soc System On Chip Feature Summary

• Integrates ARM Cortex-M3 core with 12K logic elements
• Available in FG484 package for high-density I/O
• Supports both commercial and industrial temperature grades

Soc System On Chip Applications

Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix (e.g., -1) required for timing closure against the design specifications. Confirm that the FG484 package availability aligns with the manufacturing lead time provided by authorized distributors. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact density and temperature range needed for the application environment.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this model when a combination of hard processor subsystem and programmable logic is required. Compare the 12K LE density against larger variants like M2S025 or smaller ones like M2S005 based on resource utilization. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics of the FG484 package for heat dissipation planning in enclosed environments.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This component belongs to the SmartFusion 2 family, which bridges the gap between traditional microcontrollers and FPGAs. It utilizes low-power flash technology for instant-on capabilities and non-volatile configuration storage, distinguishing it from SRAM-based FPGA families that require external configuration memory.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other densities in the SmartFusion 2 series such as M2S010 or M2S025 variants, provided the logic resources are sufficient. Cross-family migration to IGLOO 2 requires careful review of the MSS integration differences.
