A3PE1500-FGG676

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3PE1500-FGG676 is a ProASIC3E Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 1,500,000 system gates and 280 I/Os within a 484-ball FBGA package. The device operates at a maximum frequency of 272 MHz with a supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V. It supports an industrial temperature range from 0°C to +70°C. The FPGA includes embedded memory capabilities and utilizes surface-mount installation for integration into electronic systems.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based architecture providing instant-on functionality without external configuration memory requirements.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS, LVTTL, and LVDS for flexible interface compatibility.
• Integrates true dual-port SRAM blocks for efficient data buffering and processing tasks.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial automation control systems requiring reliable programmable logic.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment utilizing high-speed serial interfaces.
• Test and measurement instruments needing configurable signal processing paths.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix FGG676 corresponds to the 484-ball FBGA package and commercial temperature grade during sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official Microchip documentation or authorized distributor declarations prior to procurement. Ensure lead times align with project schedules as manufacturing cycles may vary based on current production allocations and regional availability constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-volatile FPGA solution with moderate gate density is required. Compare against the M1A3PE1500 series if embedded ARM Cortex-M1 processor integration is necessary instead of pure logic resources. Evaluate pin count requirements carefully as the 484-ball package offers 280 I/Os, which differs from higher-density packages like the 676-ball variant offering 444 I/Os.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3E family, representing an evolution of the original ProASIC3 line with enhanced performance and lower power consumption. It serves as a mid-range solution in Microchip's flash FPGA portfolio, bridging the gap between low-density ProASIC3 devices and high-end PolarFire or IGLOO families. The technology emphasizes security and simplicity in design workflows.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct functional equivalents within the same package are limited due to specific pinout configurations. Consider the M1A3PE1500-1FGG484 for similar capacity with added processor cores. For legacy replacements, verify pin-to-pin compatibility with older Actel-branded parts, noting potential differences in software toolchains and electrical characteristics between manufacturer generations.
