M1A3P600L-FG484I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The M1A3P600L-FG484I is a ProASIC3L field-programmable gate array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 600,000 logic elements and supports up to 235 I/Os within a 484-pin FBGA package. The device operates on a 1.2V core voltage with a range of 1.14V to 1.26V. It achieves maximum frequencies of 892.86 MHz in industrial grades (-40°C to +85°C) and 781.25 MHz in extended grades. The FPGA utilizes non-volatile flash technology for instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm temperature grade and speed bin. Confirm RoHS compliance status as legacy ProASIC3L parts may have varying environmental declarations. Check for obsolescence notices or last-time-buy dates directly from Microchip authorized distributors before finalizing procurement plans.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when high logic density is required alongside embedded processor capabilities in a low-power form factor. Ensure the 484-pin FBGA footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Compare against the A3P600 series if higher operating temperatures or different voltage levels are necessary for the target application environment.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3L family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and SRAM-based FPGAs. It offers the reprogrammability of an FPGA with the non-volatility and lower power consumption typical of ASICs. The FG484 package provides a compact solution for high-density interconnect requirements in space-constrained electronic assemblies.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements include other variants within the M1A3P600L series with different suffix codes for speed or temperature grades. Cross-family migration to PolarFire or IGLOO2 requires significant design adaptation due to architectural differences.
