Space-saving cSoC devices
25 October 2011
Microsemi’s SmartFusion cSoC family is now available in a CS288 288-ball chip scale package.
The new small footprint package is designed for a range of industrial, military, communications, medical and computational applications such as security cameras, advanced weapon systems, wearable power supplies, optical transponders, flow monitors, oral x-ray sensors, remote heart monitors and single board computers.
“In today’s marketplace, the need for small, thin and lightweight packaging has expanded into industrial and communications applications,” said Rich Kapusta, Vice President of marketing, SoC Products Group at Microsemi. “The new CS288 package offers exactly that along with a high number of user I/Os, making it ideal for small form-factor embedded systems across a number of industries. We look forward to continuing the expansion of our product offerings to ensure we provide our customers with the innovative embedded solutions they need.”
Features include:
• 11mm x 11mm square and only 1.05mm in height
• Available in leaded and lead-free (RoHS compliant) packages
• Available in commercial and industrial temperature grades
• Available across all densities enabling future proofing of designs
• 135 user IOs including FPGA, microcontroller GPIO and analogue I/Os
• 10/100 Ethernet, external memory controller, with I2C, SPI and UART interfaces
• A complete 100 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 32bit microcontroller sub-system with up to 500K gates of FPGA and feature rich programmable analogue
Microsemi’s SmartFusion cSoCs are the only devices that integrate an FPGA, a complete microcontroller built around a hard ARM Cortex-M3 processor and programmable analogue, enabling full customisation, IP protection and ease-of-use. Based on Microsemi’s proprietary flash process, SmartFusion devices are suitable for hardware and embedded designers that need a highly integrated SoC that provides more flexibility than traditional fixed-function microcontrollers, and significantly reduces the cost of soft processor cores on traditional FPGAs.
