A3P1000-1FGG144I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P1000-1FGG144I is a ProASIC3 Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features approximately 1 million system gates and 97 user I/Os within a 144-pin FBGA package. The device operates on a 1.5 V core supply voltage, with acceptable ranges from 1.425 V to 1.575 V. It supports a maximum operating frequency of 350 MHz and functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This non-volatile flash-based FPGA retains programmed designs when powered off.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Live at Power-Up (LAPU) capability ensures immediate operation upon power application without external configuration memory requirements.
• Flash-based CMOS process technology provides non-volatile storage, retaining the programmed design when powered off.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, and PCI, allowing flexible interfacing with various peripheral devices.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable, low-power logic processing
• Consumer electronics interfaces utilizing mixed-voltage signaling
• Automotive embedded applications needing robust flash-based programmability

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the package designation matches the 144-pin FBGA form factor. Check for export compliance documentation if shipping from restricted regions. Ensure the revision level aligns with current manufacturing standards. Validate RoHS status against specific regional regulatory requirements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, non-volatile FPGA solution is required without external configuration chips. Compare gate counts and I/O availability against alternative ProASIC3 variants like the A3P060 or A3P250 for cost optimization. Consider the 350 MHz performance limit relative to higher-speed families if timing constraints are critical. Evaluate power consumption differences between standard and low-power ProASIC3L series options.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 family, which utilizes 130-nm flash technology. It serves as a mid-range solution in the portfolio, bridging lower-density parts like the A3P060 and higher-capacity devices. The family is characterized by its ability to operate directly from power-up, simplifying board design by eliminating configuration EEPROMs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package may include other ProASIC3 devices with similar I/O counts, such as the A3P1000-1FGG144. Verify functional equivalence regarding gate count and memory resources before substitution. Cross-reference with newer Microchip FPGA families only if architectural compatibility allows.
