A3P1000L-1PQG208

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P1000L-1PQG208 is a ProASIC3L low-power flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. It features 24,576 configurable logic blocks and approximately one million system gates within a 208-pin PQFP package. The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 350 MHz and operates with core voltages ranging from 1.14 V to 1.575 V. It utilizes a 130-nm CMOS process and includes up to 504 kbits of true dual-port SRAM. The component is designed for industrial temperature ranges and offers mixed-voltage I/O capabilities.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling live-at-power-up functionality without external configuration memory
• Low-power design supporting instantaneous entry into Flash*Freeze mode for significant static and dynamic power reduction
• Mixed-voltage I/O banks allowing operation at multiple voltage levels including 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic boot times
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Automotive electronics applications

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Microsemi documentation to confirm temperature grade and package variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status as historical data indicates some variants may not meet current environmental standards. Ensure compatibility with legacy programming tools if integrating into existing production lines.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatile configuration and low standby power are critical requirements. Compare gate density and I/O count against higher-capacity ProASIC3L models like the A3P3000L if additional logic resources are needed. Verify that the 208-pin PQFP footprint aligns with the target PCB layout constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3L family, which succeeded the standard ProASIC3 line by introducing enhanced low-power features. The manufacturer transitioned from Actel to Microsemi and subsequently to Microchip Technology, maintaining the architectural lineage while updating product naming conventions and support structures.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the A3P1000-PQG208I from the standard ProASIC3 family or the A3P1000L-PQ208 variant. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
