A3P060-1FG144

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P060-1FG144 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the ProASIC3 family manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 60,000 system gates and 1,536 configurable logic blocks (CLBs). The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and supports a maximum clock frequency of 350 MHz. It is housed in a 144-pin Low Profile Ball Grid Array (LBGA) package with dimensions of 13 mm x 13 mm. The component is rated for an operating temperature range of 0°C to +85°C and has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 3.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS, LVTTL, and PCI/PCI-X across selectable banks.
• Integrated Clock Conditioning Circuits (CCC) with Phase-Locked Loops (PLL) for flexible clock management.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic boot-up times.
• Automotive electronics utilizing mixed-voltage signaling interfaces.
• Telecommunications infrastructure components needing high-speed data processing.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status carefully as documentation indicates non-compliance for this specific part number. Confirm the supplier source is authorized to ensure authenticity. Check for recent Product Change Notifications (PCN) regarding assembly sites or packaging labels. Validate that the LBGA package condition meets soldering requirements for MSL 3 handling. Ensure the order quantity aligns with manufacturer standard packing constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when instant-on capability is critical to eliminate external configuration flash devices. Compare against the A3P060-VQG100 if a smaller pin count or different package type like VQFP is required. Consider the A3P060-2TQG144 if industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to +85°C) are necessary instead of commercial grades. Evaluate power consumption differences between similar gate counts in the ProASIC3 family.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 Flash FPGA family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and SRAM-based FPGAs. It offers reprogrammability with non-volatile storage, reducing system complexity. The A3P060 variant provides a mid-range capacity suitable for moderate logic density applications. Microchip Technology acquired Actel, the original developer of this technology, ensuring continued support and integration into broader semiconductor portfolios.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other A3P060 variants such as A3P060-1VQG100 or A3P060-2FG144 if available. Cross-family migration to ProASIC3L models like M1A3P600 requires verification of I/O compatibility and power supply differences. No direct substitute exists for identical performance in a different package without PCB redesign.
