The A3PE1500-PQ208 is a ProASIC3E Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology. It provides a mid-density programmable logic resource in a 208-pin BFQFP package for board-level integration.

With 38,400 logic elements, approximately 0.276 Mbits of embedded memory, and 147 user I/Os, the device is suited to designs that require configurable digital logic, moderate on-chip RAM, and flexible I/O in a commercial-temperature surface-mount package.

Key Features

• Core Logic 38,400 logic elements and approximately 1,500,000 gates provide mid-density programmable logic for custom digital implementations.
• Embedded Memory Total on-chip RAM of 276,480 bits (approximately 0.276 Mbits) for data buffering, state storage, and small lookup tables.
• I/O Capacity 147 general-purpose I/O pins to support multiple interfaces and board-level connectivity.
• Power Specified supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V for the core supply domain.
• Package & Mounting 208-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP 28×28) supplied for surface-mount PCB assembly.
• Operating Range Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C for standard ambient environments.
• Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant for lead-free assembly and regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• Custom Digital Logic & Prototyping — Implement and iterate user-defined logic functions and prototypes where moderate logic capacity and on-chip memory are required.
• Interface Bridging — Provide flexible I/O mapping and protocol adaptation between board-level peripherals using the device’s 147 I/O pins.
• Embedded Control & Glue Logic — Consolidate discrete control functions and glue logic into a single programmable device to simplify board design.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Density: 38,400 logic elements and 1,500,000 gates deliver a mid-range capacity useful for many embedded and system-level designs.
