A3P1000-1FGG256

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P1000-1FGG256 is a ProASIC3 Flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 1,000,000 system gates and 147,456 bits of embedded SRAM within a 256-pin FBGA package. The device supports up to 177 user I/Os with mixed-voltage operation capabilities ranging from 1.425 V to 1.575 V for core logic. It operates at maximum frequencies up to 350 MHz and functions within a temperature range of 0°C to +85°C.

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, LVDS, and PCI/PCI-X across multiple banks.
• Integrates six Configurable Clocking Controller (CCC) blocks with phase-shift and PLL capabilities.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• High-speed data acquisition systems requiring low-latency signal processing.
• Industrial automation controllers utilizing mixed-voltage interface requirements.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment demanding reliable flash-based reconfiguration.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Microchip documentation to confirm voltage grade and temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with JTAG boundary scan protocols during integration. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures are followed according to industry standards prior to assembly.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when high gate density and instant-on capability are required in a compact FBGA form factor. Compare against the A3P1000L variant if lower power consumption is critical, noting differences in supply voltage ranges. Validate that the 177 I/O count meets interface requirements for the target application design.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 Flash family, bridging the gap between complex FPGAs and standard ASICs. It offers reprogrammability similar to SRAM-based FPGAs but retains configuration data without power. The 256-pin FBGA package provides a balance of pin count and physical footprint for mid-to-high complexity designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The M1A3P1000-1FGG256 serves as a pin-compatible alternative within the same package, featuring an integrated ARM Cortex-M1 processor. Verify functional equivalence regarding I/O mapping and timing constraints before substitution.
