A3P250-1VQ100

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P250-1VQ100 is a ProASIC3 Flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 250,000 system gates and supports up to 68 user I/Os within a 100-VQFP package measuring 14x14 mm. The device operates on a single 1.5 V supply voltage ranging from 1.425 V to 1.575 V. It includes 36,864 bits of total RAM and supports a maximum operating frequency of 272 MHz. The component functions within a junction temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile configuration technology enabling instant-on operation without external memory.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS and LVTTL with bank-selectable voltages.
• Integrated Clock Control Blocks (CCC) providing configurable phase-shift and multiply/divide capabilities.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring low power consumption and instant-on functionality.
• Consumer electronics utilizing mixed-voltage interfaces for peripheral connectivity.
• Automotive infotainment and body control modules operating within commercial temperature ranges.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix '1' corresponds to the required 272 MHz performance for your design timeline. Confirm the 100-VQFP package dimensions match your PCB footprint constraints. Ensure the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) aligns with your environmental specifications, as industrial variants carry different suffixes. Check current manufacturing status to confirm availability for long-term production.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 250K logic elements are sufficient for complex state machines or data processing tasks. Choose the VQFP-100 package for cost-sensitive applications where BGA routing complexity is undesirable. Verify that the 1.5 V core voltage is compatible with your system's power distribution network. Consider the M1A3P250 variant if embedded soft-core processor support is required instead of pure logic resources.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 family, which utilizes 130-nm flash CMOS technology. It offers pin-compatible packages across the series, allowing design flexibility between different gate counts. The family integrates true dual-port SRAM blocks and supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan testing for manufacturing verification.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The A3P125-1VQ100 serves as a lower-capacity substitute if 125K gates suffice. For higher density requirements, the A3P250-1VQG100 provides the same logic count in a QFN package. Industrial temperature versions are available with an 'I' suffix, such as A3P250-1VQ100I, though package compatibility must be verified.
