A3P400-1FG144

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P400-1FG144 is a ProASIC3 Flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 400,000 system gates and supports up to 97 user I/Os within a 144-pin FineLine BGA package. The device operates on a core voltage ranging from 1.425 V to 1.575 V and functions at temperatures between 0°C and +70°C. It achieves a maximum operating frequency of 272 MHz without embedded memory.

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 IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan test capability for manufacturing verification

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic boot-up sequences
• Automotive electronics with strict temperature and reliability requirements
• Telecommunications infrastructure utilizing high-speed serial interfaces

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Microchip documentation to confirm pin compatibility and electrical characteristics. Confirm RoHS compliance status as it varies by production lot and region. Check for active obsolescence notices or last-time buy notifications directly from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when instant-on operation is required to eliminate external configuration flash overhead. Ensure the design utilizes the available 97 I/Os efficiently as the device lacks embedded SRAM blocks. Verify that the 272 MHz performance meets the timing constraints of the target application logic.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and standard FPGAs. It offers lower power consumption and smaller form factors compared to SRAM-based counterparts while maintaining reprogrammability. The family is designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring high volume production.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The M1A3P400-FG144 is a pin-compatible military-grade variant within the same ProASIC3 family. Both devices share identical logical resources and package dimensions, allowing for direct substitution in designs where extended temperature ranges are not critical.
