M2S090-FG484

Soc System On Chip Overview

The M2S090-FG484 is a SmartFusion 2 System-on-Chip FPGA from Microchip Technology, featuring an industry-standard 4-input LookUp Table (LUT) fabric. It integrates a low-power real-time Microcontroller Subsystem (MSS) with peripherals including Ethernet, USB, and CAN. The device utilizes non-volatile flash technology for instant-on operation and includes embedded memory blocks and high-performance SerDes interfaces. Key electrical specifications include a DC core supply voltage (VDD) of 1.2V typical (range 1.14V–1.26V) and a junction temperature range of -40°C to 100°C for industrial grades.

Soc System On Chip Feature Summary

• Integrates a low-power real-time Microcontroller Subsystem (MSS) with Ethernet, USB, and CAN peripherals.
• Utilizes non-volatile flash technology for secure, reliable, and instant-on FPGA fabric.
• Supports up to 150K Logic Elements across the family, with specific density for the 090 variant.
• Includes integrated hard DDR3 memory controllers with error correction and multiple DMA controllers.

Soc System On Chip Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring deterministic real-time control.
• Secure infrastructure equipment utilizing built-in cryptographic blocks.
• Embedded applications needing mixed-signal processing with integrated MSS.
• High-reliability aerospace and defense electronics leveraging flash-based security.

Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade and temperature rating suffixes against the official Microchip datasheet DS00004750. Confirm that the FG484 package type matches the target PCB layout constraints. Ensure power supply designs adhere to the recommended operating conditions for VDD and VPP voltages specified in the electrical characteristics section.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined FPGA fabric and ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller subsystem is required on a single die. Consider the thermal resistance values provided in Table 3-7 for heat dissipation planning. Evaluate the embedded nonvolatile memory (eNVM) endurance limits, which specify up to two million cycles per array, against the application's programming requirements.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This part belongs to the SmartFusion 2 SoC FPGA family, distinct from the IGLOO 2 FPGA family which lacks the integrated MSS. Both families share the same underlying flash technology and I/O standards but differ in subsystem integration. The M2S090 designation indicates the logic density level within the SmartFusion 2 product line.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout are limited to other densities in the SmartFusion 2 series (e.g., M2S060 or M2S150). Cross-family substitution with IGLOO 2 devices requires significant redesign due to the absence of the Microcontroller Subsystem. Verify compatibility with existing firmware architectures before considering alternative densities.
