A3P125-2VQ100

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P125-2VQ100 is a ProASIC3 Flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 125,000 system gates and 768 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs). The device includes 36,864 bits of total embedded SRAM and supports up to 71 user I/Os. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and achieves a maximum clock frequency of 350 MHz. The component is housed in a 100-pin VQFP package with dimensions of 14x14 mm and functions across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture providing instant-on capability without external configuration memory.
• Support for mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS, LVTTL, and PCI/PCI-X interfaces.
• Integrated True Dual-Port SRAM blocks for high-speed data buffering and processing.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial automation control systems requiring deterministic logic execution.
• Telecommunications infrastructure interface modules.
• Automotive electronic control units (ECUs) operating in harsh thermal environments.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '2' indicates the correct speed grade and temperature rating (-40°C to +85°C) required for your design. Confirm the 100-VQFP package availability matches your PCB footprint specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives as per current manufacturing notices. Cross-reference the latest datasheet revision for any pinout or electrical characteristic updates before finalizing procurement orders.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a mid-range gate count with flash-based reprogrammability is necessary. Compare against the A3P125-1 variant if only commercial temperature ranges are sufficient. Consider the A3P250 series if higher I/O counts or DDR support are required. Verify that the 350 MHz performance meets the timing constraints of the target application logic.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 Flash family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and traditional SRAM-based FPGAs. It offers the density of larger FPGAs with the simplicity and instant-on power of ASICs. The family supports soft ARM processor integration for complex embedded applications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other A3P125 variants with different speed grades or temperature ratings. For upgraded capacity, consider the A3P250 series, though pin compatibility may vary by package type. Always verify electrical characteristics and software toolchain support for any substitute components.
