A3P600L-FGG256I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P600L-FGG256I is a ProASIC3 Flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microsemi. It features 13,824 configurable logic blocks and approximately 600,000 system gates. The device operates with a maximum clock frequency of 350 MHz and supports up to 177 user I/Os. It utilizes a 1.2 V core voltage, ranging from 1.14 V to 1.26 V. The component is housed in a 256-pin FineLine BGA package measuring 17 x 17 mm with a 1.0 mm pitch. It functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling live-at-power-up operation without external configuration memory
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS, LVTTL, LVDS, and PCI/PCI-X interfaces
• Includes embedded True Dual-Port SRAM for high-bandwidth data buffering

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial automation control systems requiring deterministic boot times
• Telecommunications infrastructure utilizing LVDS signaling
• Military and aerospace avionics applications demanding radiation tolerance and reliability

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'FGG256I' against official Microchip documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and RoHS status. Confirm current availability as legacy components may have limited stock or discontinuation notices. Ensure design-in reviews account for the specific thermal characteristics of the FineLine BGA package during assembly.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when non-volatile configuration is required to eliminate external PROMs. Compare gate density and I/O count against the A3PE600 series if higher performance is needed. Verify that the 1.2V core voltage aligns with the target system's power delivery network constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 Flash family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and SRAM-based FPGAs. Unlike volatile counterparts, it retains programming data without power. The 'L' variant typically denotes low-power optimization within the standard A3P600 line.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include the A3P600-1FGG256I. For upgraded performance, consider the A3PE600-1FGG256I, though software migration may be necessary.
