A3P1000-PQ208

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P1000-PQ208 is a Field Programmable Gate Array belonging to the ProASIC3 Flash family manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 1,000,000 system gates and 24,576 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs). The device operates with a nominal supply voltage of 1.5 V, ranging from 1.425 V to 1.575 V. It provides 154 user I/Os within a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP) measuring 28 x 28 mm. The component supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and includes 147,456 bits of embedded RAM.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based 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 verification.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring non-volatile logic implementation.
• Communication interface bridging and protocol conversion.
• Automotive electronics applications within specified temperature ranges.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as this component may be subject to discontinuation or limited production runs. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements against specific project constraints, noting that some variants in this series may not meet current environmental directives. Ensure proper moisture sensitivity handling procedures are followed during assembly due to the package type.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this part when high gate density is required in a PQFP-208 footprint. Compare against the M1A3P1000L variant if lower voltage operation at 1.2 V is necessary instead of the standard 1.5 V core. Consider pin compatibility with other ProASIC3 devices if migrating designs within the same family.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This FPGA is part of the broader ProASIC3 Flash family, which offers varying capacities from 15K to 1M gates. It shares pin-out compatibility with other members of the series, facilitating design scalability. The device utilizes Microchip's proprietary flash technology, distinguishing it from SRAM-based FPGAs that require external configuration boots.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes include other members of the ProASIC3 family such as the A3P1000-2PQ208I. Verify electrical specifications and speed grades match the original design requirements before substitution.
