A3P060-2FG144

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P060-2FG144 is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the Microchip ProASIC3 family, utilizing reprogrammable flash technology. It features 60,000 system gates and 71 user I/Os within a 144-pin FineLine BGA package. The device operates on a 1.5 V core supply voltage with a range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V. It supports a maximum operating frequency of 310 MHz and functions within an industrial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. This non-volatile FPGA retains programmed designs when powered off.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Reprogrammable Flash Technology for instant-on operation without external configuration memory
• Support for mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS and LVTTL levels
• Integrated Clock Control Blocks (CCBs) with phase-shift and multiply/divide capabilities
• In-system programming via IEEE 1532 standard

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring instant power-up functionality
• Communication interface bridging and protocol conversion
• General-purpose logic replacement in embedded systems
• Test and measurement equipment logic control

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix '2' against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm the 310 MHz performance rating. Ensure the FG144 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing revisions may vary. Check for obsolescence notices or last-time buy notifications from authorized distributors before finalizing procurement plans.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when non-volatile configuration and instant-on capability are required, distinguishing it from SRAM-based FPGAs. Compare the 60,000 gate count against design complexity requirements. Verify that the 144-pin FBGA package fits the available board space. Consider the 0°C to +70°C temperature range suitability for the intended operational environment compared to extended temperature variants.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 flash FPGA family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and traditional SRAM-based FPGAs by offering non-volatility. The A3P060 variant provides a mid-range logic density suitable for moderate complexity applications. The FG144 designation indicates a fine-pitch ball grid array package optimized for surface-mount assembly.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family include the A3P060-1FG144 (higher speed grade) or A3P060-2VQG100 (different package). Cross-family migration to ProASIC3L offers lower power consumption but requires verification of timing and pin compatibility.
