M2S090

MicrochipSmartFusion2SoC

The M2S090 is a SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA from Microchip, built on a 65 nm process. It provides 86,184 LUT4 look-up tables, 86,184 flip-flops, 1.9 Mb of block RAM and 84 18×18 math blocks (MACC). Its processing system includes a single Arm Cortex-M3 core running at up to 166 MHz. The processing system adds its own MSS with Gigabit Ethernet, high-speed USB, CAN, 2× UART, 2× SPI and 2× I2C. The programmable logic offers up to 425 user I/O pins and 4 SERDES transceivers at up to 5 Gb/s, with hard PCI Express Gen2 blocks. It is available in 3 packages, from the FCSG325 (11 × 11 mm) to the FG676 (27 × 27 mm). Temperature grades: commercial, industrial, military, automotive. Designs are built with Microchip Libero SoC.
