- "TS" Trusted Security variant with SRAM-PUF intrinsic key generation and tamper response
- 65nm flash-based process — nonvolatile, instant-on, no external boot device required
- 4 x PCIe Gen2 lanes and up to 8 x 5G SERDES transceivers for high-bandwidth connectivity
- 1152-pin FCBGA package with up to 574 user I/O pins
- Industrial-grade temperature range: –40°C to +85°C
The ACTEL M2S150TS-FCG1152I is the Trusted Security variant of the SmartFusion2 M2S150 family — combining the highest logic density, the widest I/O count, and the deepest security integration available in the SmartFusion2 lineup, all in a single 65nm flash-based device. It brings together 146,124 logic cells, a hardened ARM Cortex-M3 processor, four PCIe Gen2 endpoints, up to eight 5G SERDES lanes, and a hardware security subsystem featuring SRAM-PUF key generation and active tamper response — packaged in a 1152-pin FCBGA that supports up to 574 user I/O pins.
What distinguishes the TS variant from the standard M2S150T is not a performance difference but a security philosophy. Where the T tier provides DPA-resistant AES and SHA-256 as its security foundation, the TS goes further: cryptographic keys are generated intrinsically from each device's silicon at power-up using SRAM-PUF technology, never stored in retrievable form, and the device can be configured to zeroize all sensitive material and assert tamper signals in response to detected attacks. For defense programs with anti-tamper mandates, avionics designs with information assurance requirements, or any system where the key storage itself is a threat model concern, the M2S150TS-FCG1152I removes the compromise between maximum integration and maximum security.

The ACTEL M2S150TS-FCG1152I sits at the intersection of two demanding requirements that rarely coexist cleanly in embedded design: maximum SoC integration and hardware-rooted security. For defense and aerospace programs where anti-tamper compliance, information assurance, and high I/O density are all mandatory — not optional — this device closes the gap between what the threat model demands and what a single chip can realistically deliver.
M2S150TS-FCG1152I Security Architecture: Beyond Standard Encryption
The Trusted Security subsystem in the M2S150TS-FCG1152I is architecturally distinct from the DPA-resistant AES and SHA-256 present in the standard T variant. SRAM-PUF technology derives cryptographic keys from the unique physical imperfections of each device’s silicon — imperfections that are unreproducible, even by the manufacturer. The key is reconstructed at power-up and exists only in volatile form during operation, leaving no persistent key material that can be extracted through invasive or non-invasive attack methods. Combined with configurable tamper response — including key zeroization, signal assertion, and system shutdown — the M2S150TS-FCG1152I provides a defensible hardware security boundary for programs operating under DO-326A, MIL-STD-1553, or similar anti-tamper frameworks.
M2S150TS-FCG1152I Integration: Four PCIe Gen2, Eight SERDES, 574 I/Os
Security depth does not come at the cost of connectivity. The M2S150TS-FCG1152I retains the full SmartFusion2 M2S150 platform — four PCIe Gen2 endpoints, up to eight 5G SERDES lanes, dual Gigabit Ethernet MACs, USB 2.0 OTG, dual DDR memory controllers, and a 166 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 with 512 KB of nonvolatile eNVM. The 1152-pin FCBGA package provides up to 574 user I/O pins, making it the natural destination for designs that have exhausted the pin count of smaller package options. Every external interface that gets consolidated onto this device is one fewer entry point in the system’s attack surface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What Is the ACTEL M2S150TS-FCG1152I and How Does It Differ From the M2S150T?
The M2S150TS-FCG1152I is the Trusted Security variant of the SmartFusion2 M2S150 in the 1152-pin FCBGA package. The logic density, processor, connectivity, and I/O count are identical to the M2S150T-FCG1152I. The TS adds SRAM-PUF intrinsic key generation and active tamper detection with configurable response — capabilities required for programs with anti-tamper mandates or information assurance frameworks.
How Does SRAM-PUF Key Generation Work in the M2S150TS-FCG1152I?
At power-up, the SRAM-PUF reads the unique pattern of random bit states produced by the physical imperfections in each device’s SRAM cells. This pattern is consistent for a given device but unique across all devices — even from the same manufacturing lot. A cryptographic key is derived from this pattern and exists only in volatile memory during operation. When the device powers down, the key disappears. There is no stored key to extract.
Is the M2S150TS-FCG1152I Suitable for Anti-Tamper Programs?
Yes. The configurable tamper response — including key zeroization, tamper signal assertion, and system shutdown — combined with SRAM-PUF key management and DPA-resistant cryptographic engines makes the M2S150TS-FCG1152I well aligned with anti-tamper requirements in defense and avionics programs. Specific certification applicability depends on your program’s threat model and applicable standards.
Can I Migrate From the M2S150T-FCG1152I to the M2S150TS-FCG1152I Without PCB Changes?
Yes. The M2S150TS-FCG1152I is pin-compatible with the M2S150T-FCG1152I in the same 1152-pin FCBGA package. Migration requires firmware and security configuration updates in Libero SoC but does not require PCB redesign.
