It features 75,264 configurable logic blocks and approximately 3,000,000 equivalent gates. The device supports a maximum operating frequency of 350 MHz and includes 147 input/output terminals. It operates within a core voltage range of 1.14V to 1.575V and is housed in a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP) with dimensions of 28mm x 28mm. The component is rated for an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C junction temperature.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling instant power-up configuration without external memory devices.
• Integrated Flash*Freeze technology allows instantaneous entry into and exit from low-power modes.
• Supports low voltage operation with 1.2V to 1.5V core and I/O voltage options for reduced power consumption.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high reliability and instant-on functionality.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment needing robust programmable logic.
• Automotive electronics applications demanding flash-based FPGA solutions.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix corresponding to the 350 MHz performance requirement when sourcing replacements. Confirm that the PQFP-208 package availability aligns with current manufacturing status, as this series may be subject to obsolescence notices. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding pin pitch and thermal characteristics.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring large logic capacity in a quad flat package format. Compare against the A3PE3000L variant if lower static power consumption is critical, noting potential differences in leakage specifications. Validate that the 147 I/O count meets interface requirements before finalizing the component choice.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 family of flash FPGAs, which bridges the gap between ASICs and SRAM-based FPGAs. It offers the reprogrammability of FPGAs with the non-volatility and security of ASICs. The A3PE3000 series specifically targets high-density applications where power efficiency and immediate operational readiness are essential design constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the A3PE3000-2PQ208I for extended temperature ranges or the M1A3PE3000-2PQ208 for updated Microchip branding. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical parameters before swapping.
