192000 logic elements — where this PolarFire FPGA sits in the gate-count stack
The Microchip MPF200T-FCSG536I is a mid-range PolarFire™ FPGA delivering 192000 logic elements and 13619200 total RAM bits, with 300 user I/O brought out to a 536-ball CSPBGA package.
300 I/O in a 536-ball CSPBGA — board-layer implications
The 536-ball CSPBGA with 300 available I/O means the peripheral ring is dense — expect a 6- to 8-layer PCB to fan out the inner balls without necking trace widths below the fab's minimum. The 0.97 V core rail is lower than the 1.14 V of the IGLOO2 peers, so the on-chip regulator and decoupling capacitor plan need to match that tighter tolerance.
For a production BOM, this avoids the supply-chain scramble that comes with a phased-out FPGA.
On-chip memory: 13.6 Mbit — enough to skip external SRAM for moderate buffers
The 13619200 total RAM bits (roughly 1.7 MB) can hold a 720p video line buffer, a moderate Ethernet packet FIFO, or DSP coefficient tables without adding an external SRAM. For designs that need more than that, the 300 I/O leave room to attach a DDR controller — but the on-chip memory covers many mid-range datapath needs.
