A3P125-1PQG208I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P125-1PQG208I is a ProASIC3 Flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 125,000 system gates and 36,864 bits of embedded SRAM within a 208-pin PQFP package. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 1.425V to 1.575V and supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. It provides 97 user I/Os and achieves maximum operating frequencies up to 272 MHz.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling live-at-power-up functionality without external configuration memory.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS and LVTTL for flexible system interfacing.
• Integrates true dual-port SRAM for efficient data buffering and processing tasks.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic boot times.
• Telecommunications interface modules.
• Automotive electronics applications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Microchip distributors or certified partners. Confirm the specific suffix indicates the correct speed grade and temperature rating. Check for RoHS compliance status and ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to assembly.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a mid-range logic density with flash technology is required. Compare against the A3P125-1FGG144I if a smaller BGA footprint is preferred. Ensure the 208-pin PQFP package fits the board space constraints. Verify that the 272 MHz performance meets the design timing requirements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and standard FPGAs. It offers lower power consumption and higher security than SRAM-based devices. The series is designed for high-volume production environments needing rapid time-to-market.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other variants in the A3P125 series such as the A3P125-1VQG100, though package differences exist. For functional equivalents, consider the M1A3P250 series for increased capacity. Always verify electrical specifications before substitution.
