A3P1000L-FGG484

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P1000L-FGG484 is a low-power Flash Field Programmable Gate Array from the Microsemi ProASIC3 family. It features 24,576 configurable logic blocks and approximately 1,000,000 system gates. The device operates with a maximum clock frequency of 350 MHz and supports up to 300 user I/Os. It utilizes a 484-pin FineLine BGA package with a 1.0 mm pitch. The component functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C and requires a single 3.3V power supply with an internal 1.5V regulator.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Non-volatile Flash technology retains configuration data without external memory when powered off.
• Supports Live at Power-Up (LAPU) for immediate system operation upon power application.
• Integrates on-chip voltage regulation to simplify power supply design requirements.
• Includes embedded SRAM resources for true dual-port memory applications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring non-volatile programmability
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Automotive electronics with high reliability standards

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' indicates the low-power variant during procurement. Confirm the package type matches the required 484-pin FineLine BGA footprint. Ensure the temperature grade corresponds to the industrial range specifications. Check for RoHS compliance status as per current manufacturing revisions. Validate that the source document explicitly identifies the part number to avoid confusion with standard A3P1000 models.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatile configuration and low power consumption are critical. Compare gate density against other ProASIC3 variants if higher logic capacity is needed. Consider the 350 MHz performance limit for timing-critical designs. Evaluate the 484-pin package availability against board space constraints. Verify I/O voltage compatibility with the target system interfaces.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Microsemi ProASIC3 Flash FPGA family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and traditional SRAM-based FPGAs. The series is known for its instant-on capability due to Flash technology. The A3P1000L variant specifically targets low-power applications within the broader 1M-gate class. It serves as a drop-in replacement for some CPLD applications requiring higher complexity.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the A3P1000-1FGG484I or A3P1000-2FGG484I, noting differences in speed grades and temperature ranges. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Review datasheet differences regarding power consumption and timing characteristics. Ensure the alternative part supports the same 484-pin FBGA package.
