Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm temperature grade and package variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or Microchip Technology. Ensure design tools match the selected speed grade for accurate timing closure.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring an integrated ARM Cortex-M3 processor alongside moderate FPGA logic density. Compare against IGLOO 2 variants if a microcontroller subsystem is not required. Validate thermal resistance parameters against system airflow conditions to ensure junction temperatures remain within recommended operating limits.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This component belongs to the SmartFusion® 2 family, which combines FPGA fabric with a hard processor subsystem. It shares architectural similarities with the IGLOO 2 series but includes additional on-chip memory and controller resources. The FCSG325 designation indicates a 325-ball Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array package.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same density class include other SmartFusion 2 devices with identical pinouts. Cross-family migration to IGLOO 2 requires software adaptation due to the absence of the MSS. Verify pin compatibility before substituting with higher-density models like the M2S050.
