A3PE3000-2FGG484I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3PE3000-2FGG484I is a ProASIC3 FPGA from Microchip Technology, housed in a 484-pin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package measuring 23x23 mm. It features 35,000 logic elements and 3,000,000 gates, with an embedded memory capacity of 504 kbit. The device supports up to 341 I/Os and operates on a supply voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.575 V. It is rated for industrial temperatures between -40°C and +100°C TJ, with a maximum operating frequency of 350 MHz.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based architecture enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.
• Integrated ARM Cortex-M1 processor core for complex system control and security management.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS, LVTTL, LVDS, and LVPECL for versatile interfacing.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring deterministic real-time processing.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment needing high reliability.
• Military and aerospace systems demanding radiation tolerance and low power consumption.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '2' indicates the speed grade corresponding to the 350 MHz maximum frequency. Confirm the 'I' suffix denotes the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C). Ensure the FBGA-484 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status as per current manufacturing data sheets.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a non-volatile FPGA with an integrated processor is required. Compare against the A3PE3000L variant if lower power consumption at reduced performance is acceptable. Consider the FGG484 package availability versus other pin counts like PQFP208 if board space is constrained.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 family, bridging the gap between ASICs and SRAM-based FPGAs. It offers the reprogrammability of FPGAs with the non-volatility and lower power of ASICs. The inclusion of the ARM Cortex-M1 allows for hybrid digital/analog system integration within a single chip.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include M1A3PE3000-FGG484I or M1A3PE3000-2FGG484I. Verify that any replacement maintains the same speed grade and package type. Cross-reference with PolarFire series devices for modern alternatives with higher performance and security features.
