M2S050S-1FG484I

Soc System On Chip Overview

The M2S050S-1FG484I is a SmartFusion2 System-on-Chip FPGA featuring an ARM Cortex-M3 processor and 56,340 logic elements. It integrates embedded nonvolatile memory (eNVM) up to 256 Kbytes and high-speed SRAM (eSRAM) up to 64 Kbytes within the Microcontroller Subsystem. The device operates at clock frequencies up to 166 MHz and supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to 100°C. Packaged in a 484-pin FBGA with a 1 mm pitch, it combines programmable logic with hard processor subsystems for mixed-signal applications.

• Embedded Nonvolatile Memory (eNVM) ranging from 128 Kbytes to 256 Kbytes
• Dual-port Embedded SRAM (eSRAM) up to 64 Kbytes for simultaneous access

Soc System On Chip Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring deterministic real-time processing
• Automotive body electronics and gateway systems
• Medical device control interfaces with secure boot requirements
• Aerospace and defense avionics subsystems

Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific eNVM and eSRAM capacity suffixes, as the base part number covers a range of memory configurations. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with Microchip or authorized distributors, as production schedules vary by memory option. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed due to the sensitivity of the CMOS fabrication process.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this component when a combination of moderate logic density and a hardened 32-bit MCU is required on a single die. Compare against the M2S050T variant if higher performance or different I/O voltage levels are needed. Verify that the 484-pin package footprint matches the PCB layout constraints and that the thermal dissipation capabilities of the design support the 100°C junction temperature limit.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This device belongs to the SmartFusion2 family, which bridges the gap between traditional FPGAs and microcontrollers. It utilizes Microchip's Fusion technology to integrate analog blocks alongside digital logic and the ARM core. The M2S050S designation indicates a specific speed grade and memory configuration within the 50K LE class of the portfolio.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package are limited to other SmartFusion2 variants with compatible memory sizes, such as the M2S050TS-1FG484I. Migration to the IGLOO2 family requires significant redesign as it lacks the integrated ARM processor. No cross-family substitutes exist without hardware modifications.
