A3P1000-PQG208I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P1000-PQG208I is a ProASIC3 Flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 1,000,000 equivalent gates and 24,576 configurable logic blocks within a 208-pin PQFP package. The device operates on a 1.5 V supply voltage with a range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V. It supports up to 154 I/Os and functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This non-volatile flash-based FPGA offers system-level reprogrammability without external configuration memory.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture eliminates the need for external configuration PROMs.
• Supports in-system reprogramming via JTAG or serial interface protocols.
• Integrates high-density programmable logic with flexible I/O capabilities.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring field-upgradable logic.
• Telecommunications infrastructure prototyping and deployment.
• Automotive electronics modules needing robust reconfigurability.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Microchip distributors due to potential counterfeit risks. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to surface mount assembly. Check for obsolescence notices as this series may be subject to production lifecycle changes.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when high gate density and non-volatile storage are required in a QFP package. Compare against A3PE1500 variants if embedded ARM Cortex-M1 cores are needed instead of pure logic resources. Ensure voltage levels match the 1.5 V core requirement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 Flash family, designed for applications demanding low power consumption and instant-on functionality. It bridges the gap between complex ASICs and standard SRAM-based FPGAs by providing persistent configuration data directly within the device fabric.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other ProASIC3 devices in the PQG208 package such as A3P1000-1PQG208I. Verify logical resource availability and I/O constraints before substituting with higher or lower density members of the same family.
