A3P060-1FGG144I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P060-1FGG144I is a ProASIC3 FPGA from Microchip Technology, housed in a 144-pin FineLine BGA package. It features 700 logic elements and 60,000 equivalent gates, with 18 kbit of embedded SRAM and 71 I/Os. The device operates on a 1.5V supply (range 1.425V to 1.575V) and supports a maximum frequency of 350 MHz. It functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based architecture for instant-on operation without external configuration memory.
• Integrated ARM Cortex-M1 processor core for embedded control tasks.
• Supports high-speed serial interfaces including LVDS and SSTL standards.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring deterministic logic processing.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment needing low-latency signal routing.
• Automotive electronic control units (ECUs) operating in harsh thermal environments.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1' indicates the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and 'I' denotes the extended temperature variant if applicable per official datasheets. Confirm RoHS compliance status as some ProASIC3 variants may not meet current environmental directives. Check for export control classifications such as ECCN 3A991D before international procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when instant-on capability and low static power consumption are critical compared to volatile SRAM-based FPGAs. Ensure the 144-pin FBGA footprint fits the PCB layout constraints. Compare against the A3P060-VQG100 if a smaller QFP package is required, noting the reduction in available I/O pins.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 family, bridging the gap between ASICs and standard FPGAs. It offers lower non-recurring engineering costs than ASICs while providing higher performance and flexibility than discrete logic solutions. The series is widely used in legacy system upgrades and cost-sensitive mass production applications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include the A3P060-1FGG144. For upgraded performance, consider the M1A3P600L-FG144I which includes an integrated ARM Cortex-M1 core and enhanced security features, though software migration may be necessary.
