A3P1000-FG484T

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P1000-FG484T is a ProASIC3 FPGA from Microchip Technology, housed in a 484-pin FBGA package. It features approximately 11,000 logic elements and supports up to 300 I/Os. The device operates on a 1.5V core voltage with a range of 1.425V to 1.575V. It delivers a maximum operating frequency of 310 MHz and functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based architecture for instant-on operation without external configuration memory.
• Integrated ARM Cortex-M1 processor core for embedded control tasks.
• Supports high-speed serial interfaces including LVDS and SSTL standards.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring deterministic logic processing.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment needing reliable signal routing.
• Medical imaging systems utilizing secure, non-vatile programmable logic.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' against official Microchip documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging status, as standard listings often default to tray packaging. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your region. Confirm that the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature rating aligns with your environmental specifications before procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when instant-on capability and low static power consumption are critical compared to SRAM-based FPGAs. Consider the integrated ARM Cortex-M1 if code execution is needed alongside hardware acceleration. Verify that the 310 MHz speed grade satisfies your timing constraints, noting that higher speed grades like -2 offer increased performance at potentially higher costs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring non-volatility. It bridges the gap between complex ASICs and general-purpose FPGAs by offering fixed-function blocks and embedded processors. The FG484 package provides a compact solution for designs requiring moderate I/O density.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the A3P1000-1FGG484 or A3P1000-2FGG484 variants, which share the same package and pinout but differ in speed grades. Cross-family migration to PolarFire devices may require significant schematic and firmware redesign due to architectural differences.
