A3P250L-1PQ208I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P250L-1PQ208I is a Flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the ProASIC3L family, manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. It features 250,000 system gates and 6,144 configurable logic blocks (CLBs). The device includes 36,864 bits of embedded SRAM and supports up to 151 user I/Os. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.14V to 1.575V and functions at temperatures between -40°C and 100°C. The component is housed in a 208-BFQFP package with a 0.5mm pitch.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.
• Support for mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS and LVTTL across multiple banks.
• Integrated true dual-port SRAM for efficient data buffering and processing.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring low power consumption.
• Automotive electronics applications.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' indicates the low-power variant of the ProASIC3L series. Confirm the package type matches the 208-BFQFP specification. Check current availability status as this component may be subject to discontinuation notices. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 regulations if required for the target market.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when instant-on capability and low static power are critical requirements. Compare against the standard A3P250 series if higher performance or different voltage levels are needed. Verify that the 208-pin QFP package fits the board layout constraints. Consider the 1.5V core voltage requirement for power supply design.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3L Flash FPGA family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and traditional FPGAs. The 'L' designation typically refers to the low-power process technology used in the ProASIC3L series. It serves as a drop-in replacement for many Actel designs previously using similar gate counts.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible alternatives include the A3P250-1PQ208I from the standard ProASIC3 family, though power characteristics differ. The M1A3P250-PQG208I is a Microchip-branded equivalent in the same family. Verify electrical specifications carefully when substituting between the standard and low-power variants.
