A3PE600-FGG484

Overview

The A3PE600-FGG484 is a ProASIC3E Flash FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology, housed in a 484-pin FineLine BGA package. It features 13,824 logic cells and approximately 600,000 system gates. The device operates with a minimum supply voltage of 1.14 V and a maximum of 1.575 V, supporting a maximum operating frequency of 250 MHz. It includes 270 I/O pins and functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based architecture enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.
• Integrated security features including bitstream encryption and user code protection.
• Supports multiple low-power modes to optimize energy consumption in battery-operated applications.

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Automotive infotainment and gateway interfaces
• Telecommunications base station management

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Microchip documentation to confirm temperature grade and package variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing processes evolve. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes directly from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when instant-on capability and moderate logic density are required. Compare against the standard A3P600 series if lower power consumption is critical, noting the differences in leakage current and operating voltage ranges between the E and standard variants.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3E family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and SRAM-based FPGAs. It offers the reprogrammability of FPGAs with the non-volatility of ASICs, targeting cost-sensitive applications requiring high reliability and low standby power.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may include the A3PE600L variant for extended temperature ranges or the A3P600 for standard performance. Verify software compatibility and timing constraints when migrating between these closely related devices.
