A3PE1500-FGG484

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3PE1500-FGG484 is a ProASIC3 FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology, housed in an FBGA-484 package. It features 16,000 logic elements and supports up to 280 I/Os. The device operates within a voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V at a nominal 1.5 V. It functions reliably between -40°C and +85°C. The maximum operating frequency reaches 272 MHz. This non-RoHS compliant component utilizes SMD/SMT mounting techniques for integration into programmable logic circuits.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS, LVTTL, and LVDS capabilities across multiple banks.
• Enables hot-swappable and cold sparing functionality for system reliability.
• Offers programmable output slew rate and drive strength configurations.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring fan-in/fan-out flexibility
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces
• Automotive electronics applications

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as the datasheet indicates non-compliance. Confirm humidity sensitivity handling requirements during storage and assembly. Ensure the specific suffix matches the required temperature grade and package variant. Cross-reference with official Microchip documentation to validate pinout compatibility before procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when high-density logic is needed without embedded memory blocks. Compare against M1A3PE1500 variants if ARM Cortex-M1 integration is required. Verify that the 272 MHz speed grade meets timing constraints. Check package availability as FBGA-484 may have limited supply compared to other form factors.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 family, bridging ASIC performance with FPGA flexibility. It serves as a successor to earlier Actel designs, offering lower power consumption than traditional FPGAs while maintaining reprogrammability. The part is widely used in legacy system upgrades and cost-sensitive high-volume production environments.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

M1A3PE1500-FG484I offers similar logic density but includes an integrated ARM Cortex-M1 processor. A3PE1500-1FGG484 provides a commercial temperature grade alternative. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before substituting with these related models.
