A3P1000-2FG256M

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P1000-2FG256M is a ProASIC3 Flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 11,000 logic elements and supports up to 177 user I/Os within a 256-pin FBGA package. The device operates with a core voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and supports data rates up to 700 Mb/s. It functions within an industrial 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.
• Support for mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS and LVTTL across multiple banks.
• Integrated JTAG boundary scan test capability for manufacturing and system-level diagnostics.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable programmable logic
• Communication interface adapters and protocol converters
• Test and measurement equipment logic control

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' against official Microchip documentation to confirm if it denotes a specific packaging variant or quality grade, as standard datasheets may not explicitly detail every suffix variation. Ensure compliance with export regulations and humidity sensitivity levels before procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when a mid-range FPGA capacity with 11K LEs is required in a compact 256-pin form factor. Consider the A3P1000 series for applications needing flash-based reprogrammability and mixed-voltage I/O support without the complexity of SRAM-based FPGAs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 Flash family, designed for high-density, low-power applications. It sits between smaller devices like the A3P060 and larger variants such as the A3P250, offering a balance of logic resources and I/O count for general-purpose programmable logic tasks.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other A3P1000 speed grades or variants like A3P1000-1FGG256T, provided timing requirements are met. Cross-family migration requires schematic and design rule checks.
