A3P250L-1VQG100

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P250L-1VQG100 is a ProASIC3L Flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microsemi. It features 250,000 system gates and 36,864 bits of embedded SRAM within a 100-pin VQFP package. The device operates with a core voltage range of 1.14V to 1.575V and supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to 100°C. It utilizes a 130nm flash-based CMOS process for non-volatile configuration retention.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Non-volatile Flash technology retains programmed designs without power
• Instant-on capability eliminates boot-up delays associated with SRAM FPGAs
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring instant-on functionality
• Automotive electronics operating in extended temperature environments
• Military and aerospace applications demanding radiation tolerance and reliability

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' indicates the low-power variant distinct from standard ProASIC3 devices. Confirm the '-1' speed grade matches timing requirements for the target design. Ensure the VQG100 package dimensions align with PCB footprint specifications during procurement planning.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatile storage and instant-on operation are critical compared to volatile SRAM-based FPGAs. The ProASIC3L family offers lower static power consumption suitable for battery-operated or energy-constrained systems. Evaluate the 250k gate count against logic complexity to ensure adequate resource utilization.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3L series, which extends the standard ProASIC3 capabilities with enhanced low-power characteristics. The L-series is optimized for applications requiring reduced power dissipation while maintaining high performance and robustness typical of Microsemi's flash FPGA portfolio.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other ProASIC3L variants with compatible pinouts such as A3P250L-1VQG100I for industrial temperature ranges. Standard ProASIC3 parts like A3P250-1VQG100 may serve as alternatives if low-power constraints are relaxed.
