Key Differentiators
- Integrated mixed-signal capability (vs A3P400-PQ208I)
- Flash-based configuration with security (vs A3P600-2PQ208)
- Lower power consumption (vs M1AFS600-2PQ208)
Design Notes
The M1AFS250-2PQ208 requires a 1.5V core supply (1.425V to 1.575V). Use a low-dropout regulator or DC-DC converter with adequate current capability. Estimated: typical core current is around 50mA at 250K gates, but verify with power estimation tools. Decouple each VCC pin with a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor and add bulk capacitance (10uF) near the power entry point.
For the 208-pin PQFP, ensure proper solder paste stencil design for fine-pitch leads. Follow IPC-7525 guidelines for stencil aperture design. Provide thermal relief for ground and power pins to aid soldering. Use a 4-layer PCB with dedicated power and ground planes to minimize noise and improve signal integrity.
The M1AFS250-2PQ208 is not RoHS compliant (contains lead). Ensure your manufacturing process and target market allow leaded solder. Also, note that the PQ208 package is pin-compatible with AFS250 and AFS600, but not with other Fusion devices. Verify the pinout against the datasheet before layout.
Compliance Information
The M1AFS250-2PQ208 contains lead and is RoHS non-compliant per DigChip data. The lead-free version is M1AFS250-2PQG208.
