A3P1000L-1FGG484

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P1000L-1FGG484 is a low-power Flash Field Programmable Gate Array from the ProASIC3 family, manufactured by Microsemi. It features 1 million system gates and 15,360 configurable logic blocks within a 484-pin FineLine BGA package. The device operates at a maximum frequency of 250 MHz with a single 1.5 V supply voltage. It supports an industrial temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C and includes nonvolatile flash technology for instant power-up functionality.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Nonvolatile flash architecture enables live-at-power-up operation without external configuration memory
• Low-power design optimized for reduced energy consumption in portable applications
• Integrated user flash memory provides persistent data storage capabilities

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring instant-on functionality
• Portable battery-powered instrumentation
• Automotive electronics with strict power constraints

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' indicates the low-power variant when sourcing replacements. Confirm the '-1' speed grade matches the required 250 MHz performance target. Ensure the FGG484 package type aligns with existing PCB footprints. Check RoHS compliance status against current regulatory requirements for the intended market.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when nonvolatile configuration and low static power are critical. Compare gate density against higher-performance AX series devices if timing closure is challenging. Consider the A3P1000 standard version if lower cost is prioritized over power savings. Verify I/O voltage compatibility with the target system interfaces before finalizing the design.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 Flash family, bridging the gap between complex CPLDs and high-density FPGAs. It utilizes Microsemi's proprietary flash process, eliminating the need for external configuration PROMs. The family offers pin-compatible options across various gate counts and package sizes for flexible design scaling.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the A3P1000-1FGG484 for standard power variants or the A3P1000L-2FGG484 for different speed grades. Cross-family migration to IGLOO or PolarFire may be necessary for advanced security or DSP features.
