MCHPM2S025-FCSG325I
Overview
The M2S025-FCSG325I is a SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA that integrates a 166MHz ARM Cortex-M3 processor with 25K logic modules and high-speed serial interfaces. This device provides a unique combination of reliable flash-based FPGA fabric and a hard microcontroller subsystem, making it suitable for secure and industrial applications. It features integrated PCIe Gen 2 endpoints, DDR3 memory controllers, and comprehensive connectivity including CAN and Ethernet.
Why Choose This Part
This SoC offers superior security features and low power consumption through its flash-based architecture, which eliminates the need for external configuration memory. The 325-pin FCBGA package provides a high I/O density with 200 GPIO pins, while the hardware DDR and PCIe controllers simplify high-bandwidth data path designs.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Designers should use the Microchip Libero SoC Design Suite for FPGA fabric development and SoftConsole or other ARM-compatible IDEs for Cortex-M3 software. Hardware evaluation can be performed using the SmartFusion2 Security Evaluation Kit or the Advanced Development Kit, which provide access to the SerDes and DDR interfaces.
