Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P250-QNG132T is a military-grade flash FPGA from the ProASIC3/EL family, manufactured by Microsemi. It features 250,000 system gates and 6,144 VersaTiles (D-flip-flops). The device includes 36 kbits of true dual-port SRAM organized into eight 4,608-bit blocks and 1 kbit of nonvolatile FlashROM. It operates with a 1.5 V core voltage and supports up to 68 user I/Os in its PQFP package. Maximum system performance reaches 350 MHz at 1.5 V. The component is qualified for the military temperature range of –55°C to 125°C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Firm-error immune architecture resistant to neutron-induced configuration loss
• Flash*Freeze technology enabling instantaneous low-power static mode retention
• Live-at-Power-Up (LAPU) Level 0 capability eliminating external boot PROMs
• Integrated AES-128 decryption engine for secure in-system programming

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Military systems requiring firm-error immunity and high reliability
• Battery-powered equipment with limited power budgets
• Enclosures with restricted heat dissipation capabilities
• Secure data transfer applications requiring IP protection

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix associated with the QNG132T package designation against current manufacturer documentation. Confirm that the ordering suffix aligns with the required military temperature qualification and lead-free packaging standards. Ensure compatibility with Libero SoC development tools for proper configuration and programming workflows.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this device for designs requiring 250K system gates within a PQFP form factor. Note that the A3P250 variant supports only 1.5 V core operation and does not include Flash*Freeze technology or Pro I/Os. Verify that the 68 available single-ended I/Os meet interface requirements without utilizing differential pairs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Military ProASIC3/EL Low Power Flash FPGA family. It utilizes a 130-nm, 7-layer metal flash-based CMOS process. The family provides reprogrammable nonvolatile logic with integrated clock conditioning circuits and embedded memory resources for versatile digital design implementations.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible packages across the Military ProASIC3EL family. Consider density variations such as the A3PE600L or A3P1000 if higher gate counts are needed, ensuring adherence to board migration requirements and package constraints.
