A3P600-PQ208

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P600-PQ208 is a ProASIC3 Flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features approximately 600,000 system gates and 154 I/Os within a PQFP-208 package. The device operates on a 1.5 V supply voltage with a range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V. It supports a maximum operating frequency of 310 MHz and functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. This non-RoHS compliant component utilizes flash-based technology for non-volatile configuration.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• High-density logic capacity suitable for complex digital control applications

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial automation controllers
• Telecommunications interface modules
• Consumer electronics logic control

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements carefully as this part number indicates a commercial grade variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process. Check current availability as legacy ProASIC3 parts may have limited stock or end-of-life status from distributors.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-volatile FPGA solution is required to eliminate external configuration EEPROMs. Compare against the A3P600-PQG208I if an industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) is necessary instead of the commercial range provided here.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This device belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and SRAM-based FPGAs. The series is characterized by its instant-on capability and radiation tolerance options, though this specific PQFP variant targets general-purpose commercial markets.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other A3P600 variants such as A3P600-1PQ208 or A3P600-2PQ208, depending on speed grade requirements. Industrial grade equivalents like A3P600-PQG208I offer wider temperature ranges but require verification of functional equivalence.
