M2S150TS-1FCV484

Soc System On Chip Overview

The M2S150TS-1FCV484 is a SmartFusion 2 System-on-Chip FPGA from Microchip Technology, featuring an ARM Cortex-M3 processor and approximately 150K logic elements. It integrates hard DDR3 memory controllers with error correction, up to four PCI Express Gen 2 endpoints, and high-speed SerDes interfaces. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 100°C (Industrial) or 0°C to 85°C (Commercial), utilizing a 1.2V core supply voltage (±5%) and 3.3V charge pump voltage. It is housed in a 484-pin FCVFBGA package.

Soc System On Chip Feature Summary

• Integrates an ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller subsystem with Ethernet, USB, and CAN peripherals.
• Provides up to 150K Logic Elements and embedded non-volatile flash technology for instant-on operation.
• Includes hard IP blocks such as DDR3 memory controllers with ECC and PCIe Gen 2 endpoints.
• Supports high-speed serial communication via multiple SerDes lanes.

Soc System On Chip Applications

• Industrial automation and control systems requiring real-time processing.
• Secure infrastructure equipment utilizing built-in cryptographic blocks.
• Automotive applications leveraging the integrated MSS and robust I/O capabilities.
• Test and measurement instruments requiring low-power FPGA fabric.

Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix (-1) against design timing requirements using SmartTime software. Confirm that the industrial temperature rating aligns with the operational environment. Ensure power delivery networks meet the specified VDD and VPP tolerances. Check for export compliance documentation if shipping from restricted regions.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this model when both programmable logic and a hardened ARM processor are required on a single die. Compare against IGLOO 2 devices if only FPGA fabric is needed without the MSS. Consider the FCV484 package size relative to board space constraints and thermal dissipation needs under maximum load conditions.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This component belongs to the SmartFusion 2 family, which combines FlashFPGA technology with a Microcontroller Subsystem. It serves as a bridge between traditional FPGAs and SoCs, offering security features like PUF and encryption. The 'TS' designation indicates data security density variants within the broader SmartFusion 2 portfolio.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other densities in the SmartFusion 2 series, such as M2S090TS-1FCV484 or M2S060TS-1FCV484, provided logic resource requirements are met. Cross-family migration to PolarFire SoC requires schematic redesign due to different architecture and pinouts.
