A3PE3000L-1PQ208I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3PE3000L-1PQ208I is a ProASIC3 Low Power Flash FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 75,264 configurable logic blocks and approximately 3,000,000 system gates within a PQFP-208 package. The device supports a maximum operating frequency of 250 MHz and operates with a core voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V. It includes up to 504 kbits of true dual-port SRAM and provides 147 user I/Os. The component functions across an industrial temperature range from -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 Flash*Freeze technology for instantaneous entry into low-power standby modes.
• Supports bank-selectable I/O voltages ranging from 1.2 V to 3.6 V for mixed-voltage system compatibility.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring instant boot-up capabilities
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Automotive electronics applications

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) against official datasheets. Confirm RoHS compliance status as historical Actel/Microsemi documentation may vary. Check current availability as this part number may be subject to limited supply or end-of-life restrictions.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-density FPGA with immediate power-up functionality is required in a QFP package. Ensure the design utilizes the 1.2V core voltage specifications. Verify that the 147 available I/O pins meet the interface requirements, as other packages in the family offer different pin counts.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3L family, representing a low-power evolution of the original ProASIC3 series. Manufactured originally by Actel before its acquisition by Microchip, it utilizes a 130-nm flash process. It serves as a bridge between ASIC performance and FPGA flexibility for mid-range logic applications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include the A3PE3000L-PQ208I (standard speed grade). For higher performance needs, consider the A3PE3000-1PQ208I, though verify voltage and timing differences carefully.
