M2S150T-1FCV484M

Soc System On Chip Overview

The M2S150T-1FCV484M is a SmartFusion2 System-on-Chip FPGA from Microchip Technology, featuring an ARM Cortex-M3 processor integrated with 146K logic elements. It utilizes a 484-pin FCVQFN package and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. The device supports high-speed serial interfaces including PCIe and SERDES, alongside standard connectivity protocols such as Ethernet, USB, and CANbus. Key specifications include 256KB of flash memory and 64KB of RAM for the embedded MCU core.

Soc System On Chip Feature Summary

• Support for PCIe, SERDES, Ethernet, USB, and CANbus interfaces
• Industrial temperature range operation (-40°C to +100°C)

Soc System On Chip Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Automotive infotainment and gateway devices
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Medical imaging subsystems

Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify export compliance requirements, as this product may require additional documentation for shipment from the United States. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling procedures during storage and assembly. Ensure ordering suffixes match specific thermal or reliability grades if required by the design specification.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this model when both programmable logic capacity and embedded processing are needed in a single component. Compare against the non-T variant if extended industrial temperature ranges beyond +100°C are not required. Verify pin compatibility with existing 484-pin footprints if upgrading from previous generation SmartFusion devices.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This part belongs to the SmartFusion2 family, which combines Flash-based FPGA fabric with an ARM Cortex-M3 MCU. It differs from the IGLOO2 series by including the embedded processor core. The 'M' suffix typically denotes a specific manufacturing lot or revision code rather than a functional change in electrical parameters.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and functionality include other variants of the M2S150T series with different speed grades or temperature ratings. Cross-family migration to PolarFire requires significant architectural redesign due to differences in memory architecture and I/O standards.
