A3PE3000-1FG324I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3PE3000-1FG324I is a ProASIC3 FPGA from Microchip Technology, featuring 35K logic elements and 221 I/Os. It operates within a voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V at a typical 1.5 V, with a maximum frequency of 272 MHz. The device supports an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and uses an FBGA-324 package. It has zero embedded memory but includes distributed RAM capabilities inherent to the architecture.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based FPGA architecture providing instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.
• Integrated security features including bitstream encryption and authentication for intellectual property protection.
• Supports multiple I/O standards and voltage levels through flexible bank configurations.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic boot-up times.
• Automotive electronics needing robust security and non-volatile configuration.
• Telecommunications infrastructure utilizing high-speed serial interfaces.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) against the official datasheet. Confirm the FBGA-324 pinout matches the target PCB footprint. Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated in current manufacturer documentation. Ensure moisture sensitivity level handling procedures are followed during assembly.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this part when non-volatile configuration and high security are required alongside moderate logic density. Compare against the A3PE3000L variant if lower power consumption is critical, noting potential performance trade-offs. Verify that the 272 MHz speed grade meets the system timing requirements. Consider the FBGA-324 package size constraints relative to available board space.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and SRAM FPGAs by offering non-volatile configuration. The A3PE3000 series specifically targets applications needing secure, instant-on operation with moderate complexity logic resources.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The A3PE3000-1FGG324I is a pin-compatible alternative with a different package type (FBGA vs BGA). The A3PE3000L-1FG324I offers lower power but may have different electrical characteristics. No direct drop-in replacements exist within the same form factor without verifying pinout compatibility.
