A3P1000L-1PQ208I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P1000L-1PQ208I is a ProASIC3L low-power flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microsemi. It features 1,000,000 system gates and 24,576 configurable logic blocks within a 208-pin PQFP package. The device operates with a core voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.575 V and supports I/O voltages from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. It delivers a maximum operating frequency of 350 MHz and functions across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile technology enabling instant power-up operation without external configuration memory.
• Low-power architecture supporting 1.2 V and 1.5 V core and I/O voltage options for reduced consumption.
• Integrated Flash*Freeze mode allowing instantaneous entry into and exit from low-power states.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic boot times
• Military and aerospace avionics utilizing radiation-tolerant flash technology
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Secure embedded processing applications

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' indicates the low-power variant distinct from standard A3P1000 models. Confirm RoHS compliance status as older Actel/Microsemi flash parts may not meet current environmental standards. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for military or aerospace procurement channels.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when instant-on capability is critical to eliminate external configuration flash devices. Choose the PQFP-208 package for through-hole or standard surface-mount compatibility where BGA options are unsuitable. Verify that the 1.5V-only system support aligns with the target board's power distribution network constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3L family, representing the low-power evolution of the original ProASIC3 line. It utilizes a 130-nm CMOS process with seven layers of metal. The device retains the high-density logic capacity of its predecessor while significantly reducing static and dynamic power consumption through optimized switch design.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The M1A3P1000L-PQ208I serves as a direct replacement under the Microchip branding following the acquisition of Actel. Standard A3P1000 variants lack the low-power optimizations and may require different thermal management strategies.
