M2GL050-1FGG484

The M2GL050-1FGG484 is an IGLOO2 field programmable gate array (FPGA) integrating flash-based FPGA fabric with high-performance communications and memory interfaces. It targets low-power, secure programmable logic applications where a combination of substantial logic capacity, abundant I/O and advanced serial/memory interfaces is required.

Built on IGLOO2 architecture, the device combines 56,340 logic elements, approximately 1.87 Mbits of on-chip RAM, high-speed SERDES and DDRx memory controller capabilities, making it suitable for designs that require DSP acceleration, fast connectivity and embedded memory bandwidth within a commercial temperature range.

Key Features

• Core and Logic  56,340 logic elements implemented with efficient 4-input LUT fabric and carry chains for compact logic and arithmetic implementations.
• On-Chip Memory  Approximately 1.87 Mbits of total on-chip RAM. Series-level memory resources include 64 KB embedded SRAM and up to 512 KB embedded nonvolatile memory (eNVM) for configuration and data buffering.
• DSP and Math Blocks  Series supports embedded mathblocks for DSP, with up to 240 fast mathblocks capable of 18×18 signed multiplication and a 44-bit accumulator for signal processing tasks.
• High-Speed Serial Interfaces  Up to 16 SERDES lanes with native SERDES support and XGXS/XAUI extension. Includes PCI Express endpoint controller options (x1, x2, x4) for high-bandwidth peripheral connectivity.
• High-Speed Memory Interfaces  Up to two DDRx memory controllers supporting LPDDR/DDR2/DDR3 with maximum 333 MHz clock rate and multiple DRAM bus width modes to support high-throughput external memory.
• Clocking and Timing  Multiple clock sources and up to eight Clock Conditioning Circuits (CCCs) with integrated analog PLLs; frequency handling spans input 1–200 MHz and output 20–400 MHz for flexible timing architectures.
• I/O and Voltage  267 user I/Os supporting multi-standard I/O signaling (LVCMOS, LVTTL, DDR standards, LVDS variants, and more) and a supply range of 1.14 V to 2.625 V; core voltage 1.2 V.
• Security  Design security features available across the family, including encrypted bitstream loading, device certificate support and anti-tamper capabilities; data security primitives such as AES-256, SHA-256, ECC and PUF key support are available on premium devices.
• Package and Temperature  Surface-mount 484-ball FPBGA package (23 × 23 mm) and commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Reliability and Power  Flash-based configuration and architecture designed for low standby power and predictable configuration behavior suitable for power-sensitive designs.

Typical Applications

• High-Performance Communications  Implement serial PHYs, protocol bridges and PCIe endpoints using the integrated SERDES lanes and PCIe endpoint controller support.
• Embedded DSP and Signal Processing  Use the mathblocks and on-chip memory for FIR filters, FFT front ends or mixed-signal processing pipelines that require compact, hardware-accelerated arithmetic.
• Memory Interface Controllers  Deploy DDR2/DDR3 memory controllers to manage external DRAM for buffering, frame storage or high-throughput data acquisition systems.
• Secure Embedded Systems  Leverage design and data security features for devices that need encrypted bitstreams, secure key storage and anti-tamper protections.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Logic Capacity: 56,340 logic elements provide a large fabric for complex glue logic, accelerators or system-on-chip integration without splitting across multiple devices.
• Integrated High-Speed Interfaces: Native SERDES and PCIe endpoint capabilities reduce external interface components and simplify high-bandwidth link designs.
• Flexible Memory Subsystem: On-chip SRAM and eNVM combined with DDRx controllers enable a layered memory architecture for low-latency on-chip storage and high-capacity off-chip DRAM.
• Security Options: Built-in design security features and optional data-security primitives support protected IP and secure boot/load models.
• Commercial Temperature Suitability: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C, meeting requirements for a wide range of commercial and enterprise applications.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Packaging: 484-ball FPBGA in a 23 × 23 mm footprint supports high I/O density in space-constrained PCB layouts.
