A3PE3000L-1FG896I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3PE3000L-1FG896I is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the ProASIC3 Low Power Flash family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 75264 configurable logic blocks and approximately 3 million system gates. The device supports a maximum operating frequency of 350 MHz and includes up to 504 kbits of true dual-port SRAM. It operates with core and I/O voltages ranging from 1.14 V to 1.575 V. The component is housed in an FBGA-896 package with a -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile technology enabling live-at-power-up operation without external configuration memory.
• Integrated ARM Cortex-M1 soft processor core for embedded control applications.
• Low-power architecture supporting instantaneous entry into low-power modes via Flash*Freeze technology.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring deterministic boot times.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment utilizing high-speed serial interfaces.
• Medical imaging systems needing secure, reprogrammable logic with instant power-on readiness.

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 package dimensions match the FBGA-896 specification. Check for end-of-life notifications as this series may be discontinued. Ensure voltage levels align with the 1.14 V to 1.575 V requirement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when non-vatility and instant boot are critical compared to volatile SRAM-based FPGAs. Compare gate density and I/O count against the standard A3PE3000 if lower pin counts suffice. Verify that the integrated ARM Cortex-M1 core meets processing requirements before choosing over simpler logic-only devices.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3L Low Power Flash FPGA family, which succeeded the original ProASIC3 line. It offers reduced power consumption while maintaining high performance. The family provides a balance between ASIC-like performance and FPGA flexibility, targeting cost-sensitive applications requiring security and instant-on capabilities.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other variants within the M1A3PE3000L or A3PE3000L families with compatible packages. Cross-reference pinouts carefully as PQFP packages differ from FBGA. Consider newer Microchip PolarFire or IGLOO2 families for long-term supply assurance if available.
