M2S025TS-1VFG256

Soc System On Chip Overview

The M2S025TS-1VFG256 is a SmartFusion 2 System-on-Chip FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology. It integrates an ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller subsystem with a 27.6K Logic Element FPGA fabric. The device operates at a maximum frequency of 166 MHz and includes 256 KB of embedded flash memory and 64 KB of RAM. It utilizes a 256-pin Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (FPBGA) package measuring 17x17 mm. Electrical specifications require a core supply voltage (VDD) of 1.2 V, with I/O banks supporting voltages from 1.2 V to 3.3 V.

Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1' corresponds to the required speed grade and industrial temperature rating (-40°C to +100°C). Confirm the VFG256 package designation matches the PCB footprint requirements for a 256-ball FBGA. Ensure design tools are configured for the SmartFusion 2 family architecture.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this component when both MCU processing and FPGA logic are required in a single package. Compare against IGLOO 2 variants if the Cortex-M3 subsystem is unnecessary. Verify that the 27.6K LE density meets logic complexity needs and that the 166 MHz speed grade satisfies timing constraints.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This part belongs to the SmartFusion 2 family, which combines low-power flash FPGA technology with a hard ARM Cortex-M3 core. It differs from the IGLOO 2 series by including the MSS peripheral suite. The TS suffix indicates data security density capabilities, while the 1 suffix denotes the specific performance bin.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other M2S025 variants with different temperature grades or speed bins. Cross-family migration to IGLOO 2 requires removing MSS-dependent code.
