• Supports mixed-voltage I/O operation across multiple banks with programmable slew rates and drive strengths.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Satellite-borne calibration blackbody temperature measurement and control systems
• Aerospace environment circuit controllers requiring radiation tolerance
• Industrial automation logic control

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the FBGA-484 package. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during assembly. Check for any product change notices affecting lead times or materials. Validate that the industrial temperature grade meets the operational environment specifications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatile configuration and low power consumption are critical. Compare gate density and I/O count against application requirements. Consider the FBGA-484 package size constraints. Evaluate the need for differential I/O standards such as LVDS or LVPECL. Verify thermal management capabilities for the specified operating temperature range.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3L Low Power Flash FPGA series. It shares architectural similarities with other A3PE3000L variants but differs in package type and speed grade. The FG484 designation indicates a fine-pitch ball grid array package with 484 terminals. It serves as a high-density solution for embedded logic applications requiring reprogrammability.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

M1A3PE3000L-FG484I is a pin-compatible variant within the same family featuring an integrated ARM Cortex-M1 processor. Standard A3PE3000L-FG484I lacks the low-power optimizations of the L-series. Verify functional equivalence if substituting with non-Low Power versions due to voltage differences.
