A3P250-FG144T

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P250-FG144T is a ProASIC3 Flash Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 250,000 system gates and 36,864 bits of embedded SRAM within a 144-pin Low-Profile Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FPBGA) package. The device operates with a core supply voltage range of 1.425V to 1.575V and supports up to 97 user I/Os. It offers a maximum operating frequency of 272 MHz and functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based architecture enables live-at-power-up operation without external configuration memory.
• Integrated true dual-port SRAM provides flexible on-chip data storage capabilities.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O banks for compatibility with various logic standards.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring non-volatile programmability
• Automotive electronics interfaces
• Telecommunications signal processing

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' against the official Microchip datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging requirements. Ensure the selected variant matches the required temperature grade and pinout specifications for your PCB design before ordering.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when a mid-range gate count FPGA with built-in non-volatility is needed. Compare the 272 MHz speed grade against application timing constraints. Verify that the 144-ball BGA footprint fits the board space and thermal management strategy.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and standard FPGAs by offering flash-based reprogrammability. It serves as a drop-in replacement for complex PALs or CPLDs in designs requiring field updates.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Check for updated suffixes such as -I for industrial temperature ranges or different packaging options like trays if reel quantities are not required. Consult the latest Microchip lifecycle notices for any obsolescence warnings.
