A3P250L-1PQG208I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P250L-1PQG208I is a ProASIC3L Flash Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. It features 250,000 system gates and 768 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs). The device includes 36,864 bits of total embedded RAM. It supports up to 151 user I/Os and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.14V to 1.575V. The component is housed in a 208-BFQFP package with dimensions of 28x28 mm. It is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to 100°C (TJ) and has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 3.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O operation including 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V standards.
• Integrated True Dual-Port SRAM for high-performance data buffering and processing.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

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

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to 100°C TJ). Confirm the package type is 208-BFQFP. Check current availability status as this part may be discontinued or subject to last-time buy notices from Microchip Technology following the acquisition of Microsemi. Ensure RoHS compliance matches project requirements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a mid-range FPGA capacity of 250k gates is required with flash technology benefits. Compare against the standard A3P250 if lower power consumption is critical, as the L-series offers reduced power. Ensure the 208-pin QFP package fits the PCB layout constraints. Verify that the 1.5V core voltage aligns with the system power design.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3L family, which is designed for low-power applications compared to the standard ProASIC3 series. The family provides a balance between ASIC performance and FPGA flexibility. The A3P250L variant sits in the middle of the capacity range, offering significant logic resources while maintaining energy efficiency suitable for portable and battery-operated devices.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The M1A3P250-PQG208I is a direct functional equivalent under the Microchip branding post-acquisition. The A3P250-1PQG208I is the higher-power standard version of the same logic density. Cross-referencing datasheets is necessary to confirm pin compatibility and electrical differences between the L-series and standard series.
