A3PE1500-2PQ208I

The A3PE1500-2PQ208I is a ProASIC3E FPGA from Microchip Technology offering a mid-density programmable logic solution. It provides 38,400 logic elements, approximately 0.276 Mbits of embedded memory and a gate count of 1,500,000 in a 208-pin BFQFP package.

Designed for industrial applications, this surface-mount device combines a high I/O count (147 I/Os), an industrial operating temperature range (−40 °C to 100 °C) and a defined core supply window (1.425 V to 1.575 V) to address control, interface and embedded logic requirements where predictable electrical and thermal behavior is required.

Key Features

• Core Logic  38,400 logic elements and approximately 1,500,000 gates provide the programmable resources for custom digital logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory  Total on-chip RAM of 276,480 bits, representing approximately 0.276 Mbits of embedded memory for buffering, FIFOs and small data stores.
• I/O Capacity  147 user I/Os to support multiple parallel interfaces, peripheral connections and board-level integration.
• Power and Voltage  Specified core supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V for controlled power design and system integration.
• Package and Mounting  208-BFQFP (supplier package: 208-PQFP 28×28) in a surface-mount configuration for compact PCB designs.
• Industrial Temperature Grade  Qualified for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C, suitable for industrial environments.
• RoHS Compliance  Device is RoHS compliant to support lead-free manufacturing processes.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Implement custom control logic, I/O aggregation and real-time interfacing using the device’s logic elements and 147 I/Os within an industrial temperature window.
• Embedded Systems  Provide glue logic, protocol bridging and peripheral control where on-chip RAM and moderate gate count meet embedded requirements.
• Communications & Interfaces  Support custom interface logic and parallel/serial I/O arrangements leveraging the high I/O count and compact BFQFP package for board-level designs.
• Test & Measurement  Implement deterministic digital processing and data buffering using embedded RAM and programmable logic for instrumentation and test applications.

Unique Advantages
