A3P250L-1FG144I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P250L-1FG144I is a ProASIC3L Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microsemi. It features 250,000 system gates and 36,864 bits of embedded SRAM within a 144-pin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FPBGA) package. The device operates on a core voltage ranging from 1.14 V to 1.575 V and supports industrial temperature conditions between -40°C and +100°C. It provides 97 user I/Os and utilizes flash-based technology for non-volatile configuration.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based architecture enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory
• Low-power design optimized for battery-operated applications with extended temperature range
• Support for mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVDS and LVCMOS

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring low power consumption
• Portable medical devices needing instant-on capabilities
• Automotive electronics operating in harsh thermal environments

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C). Confirm the package type is FBGA-144. Check current availability status as legacy components may have limited supply or end-of-life notices. Ensure RoHS compliance matches project requirements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatile flash technology is required to eliminate external configuration chips. Compare against the standard A3P250 series if industrial temperature range is not necessary. Verify that 250K gates and 36 kbits RAM meet logic density needs. Ensure the 144-pin BGA footprint fits the PCB layout constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3L family, which focuses on low-power applications compared to the standard ProASIC3 line. It shares pin compatibility with other devices in the A3P250 family but offers enhanced power efficiency and broader temperature operation suitable for demanding environments.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other members of the ProASIC3L family such as A3P060L or A3P125L, depending on gate count requirements. Standard ProASIC3 devices like A3P250 are functionally similar but lack the low-power optimizations and industrial temperature rating.
