A3PE3000-PQ208I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3PE3000-PQ208I is a ProASIC3E Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 75,264 configurable logic blocks and approximately 3,000,000 equivalent system gates. The device operates with a maximum frequency of 350 MHz and supports 147 I/O pins within a 208-pin PQFP package. It utilizes a 1.2V core voltage and functions across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling live-at-power-up operation without external configuration memory.
• Integrated low-power Flash*Freeze mode for instantaneous power state transitions.
• Supports bank-selectable I/O voltages for mixed-voltage system compatibility.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic boot times
• Automotive electronics demanding high reliability
• Telecommunications infrastructure signal processing

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Microchip distributors or certified suppliers. Request original manufacturer documentation and traceability records to confirm the part number matches the specific revision. Inspect packages for physical integrity and verify RoHS compliance status as required by regional regulations before integration into production lines.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when non-volatile flash technology is preferred over SRAM-based FPGAs to eliminate external configuration chips. Ensure the design fits within the 75,264 CLB capacity and 147 I/O limit. Confirm that the 350 MHz speed grade meets timing requirements and that the PQFP-208 package dimensions align with the PCB footprint constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3E family, which bridges the gap between standard ASICs and complex FPGAs. It offers lower power consumption and higher density than earlier ProASIC3 devices while maintaining the security and instant-on capabilities inherent to flash-based FPGA architectures.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The A3PE3000L-PQ208I serves as a verified low-power variant within the same package and pinout. Designers should evaluate if the reduced power specifications of the 'L' suffix meet system thermal requirements without altering the board layout.
