A3P250L-1FGG144

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P250L-1FGG144 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the ProASIC3L Flash family manufactured by Microsemi. It features 250,000 system gates and 6,144 configurable logic blocks (CLBs). The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 350 MHz and includes up to 144 kbits of True Dual-Port SRAM. It utilizes a 144-pin Low Profile Ball Grid Array (LBGA) package with 97 user I/Os. Operating voltage ranges from 1.14 V to 1.575 V, with an industrial temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Non-volatile Flash-based architecture enabling Live at Power-Up (LAPU) functionality without external configuration memory.
• Supports mixed-voltage operation across 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V banks for flexible interface compatibility.
• Integrated Clock Conditioning Circuits (CCC) and Phase-Locked Loops (PLL) for advanced clock management.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic boot-up times.
• Automotive electronics utilizing mixed-voltage I/O standards.
• Telecommunications infrastructure involving signal processing and protocol conversion.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1' indicates the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and speed bin. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing processes may evolve. Check for active production status or last-time buy notifications due to the mature nature of the ProASIC3L series.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when non-volatile configuration and high reliability are required. Compare against the standard A3P250 if commercial temperature range suffices. Ensure the 144-pin LBGA footprint fits the PCB layout constraints compared to QFP alternatives.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component is part of the ProASIC3L series, which offers lower power consumption than the standard ProASIC3 family while maintaining similar gate densities. It bridges the gap between ASICs and complex FPGAs, offering reprogrammability with flash persistence.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other speed grades of the A3P250L series. Cross-family migration to ProASIC3 Plus or SmartFusion2 requires schematic redesign due to architectural differences.
