A3P125-2FGG144I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P125-2FGG144I is a ProASIC3 field-programmable gate array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 125,000 system gates and 36,864 bits of embedded SRAM within a 144-pin Low-profile Ball Grid Array (LBGA) package measuring 13x13 mm. The device operates on a 1.5V supply voltage ranging from 1.425V to 1.575V and supports up to 97 user I/Os. Designed for industrial environments, it functions reliably between -40°C and +100°C junction temperature. This non-volatile flash-based FPGA enables live-at-power-up operation without external configuration memory.
