A3P060-2FG144I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P060-2FG144I is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the ProASIC3 family manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 60,000 system gates and 700 logic elements. The device includes 18 kbit of embedded memory and supports up to 91 I/Os. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and functions at temperatures between 0°C and +70°C. The maximum operating frequency is 310 MHz. It is housed in a TQFP-144 surface-mount package.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile technology enabling live-at-power-up operation without external configuration memory.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS and LVTTL for flexible interface compatibility.
• Includes IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan test capability for manufacturing and field diagnostics.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic boot times.
• Communication interface bridging and protocol conversion.
• General-purpose digital logic implementation in space-constrained enclosures.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '2' indicates the commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C) rather than industrial (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the 'I' suffix aligns with your quality requirements. Check current RoHS compliance status as older ProASIC3 variants may have different environmental declarations. Ensure the TQFP-144 package matches your PCB footprint design constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when non-volatile flash configuration is required to eliminate external PROMs. Compare against the -1 speed grade if higher frequencies above 310 MHz are needed. Consider the -VQG100 package if a smaller form factor is acceptable. Verify that the 18 kbit memory capacity meets your data storage needs compared to larger ProASIC3 devices.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 family, which utilizes 130-nm flash technology. It serves as a mid-range solution between small SPLDs and large ASIC-class FPGAs. The family emphasizes instant-on capabilities and radiation tolerance options for specialized applications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other ProASIC3 parts like A3P060-1FG144 or A3P060-VQG100 if package changes are permissible. Cross-family migration to PolarFire or IGLOO II requires schematic redesign due to architectural differences.
