A3PE600-1FG256I

The A3PE600-1FG256I is a ProASIC3E Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for industrial embedded applications. It provides a balance of programmable logic, on-chip memory and I/O capacity to implement custom digital functions in compact, surface-mount 256-LBGA packaging.

With 13,824 logic elements (CLBs), approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded memory, 165 user I/Os and an operating range tailored for industrial environments, this device is suited for designs that require moderate gate density, flexible I/O and robust operating temperature support.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 13,824 logic elements (CLBs) providing the fabric to implement up to 600,000 gates for mid-scale digital designs.
• On-chip Memory — Approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded RAM (110,592 bits) to support buffering, small FIFOs and local storage for logic blocks.
• I/O Count — 165 user I/Os to accommodate broad peripheral interfacing and board-level connectivity requirements.
• Power Supply — Core voltage supply specified at 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match system power rails and ensure predictable device operation.
• Package & Mounting — 256-LBGA (supplier package: 256-FPBGA, 17×17) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB layouts.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C, making it suitable for industrial environments.
• Mounting Type — Surface mount construction supports standard assembly processes for modern electronics manufacturing.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Implement custom control logic, I/O aggregation and sequencing functions for industrial automation equipment within an industrial temperature envelope.
• Embedded Systems — Provide glue logic, protocol bridging and feature acceleration in compact embedded controller designs that require moderate gate density and on-chip memory.
• Interface and I/O Expansion — Use the 165 user I/Os to create flexible interface hubs, signal conditioning logic or custom peripheral interfaces on constrained PCBs.
• Prototyping and Mid-Scale FPGA Designs — Deploy as a development or production FPGA for projects needing up to 600,000 gates and thousands of logic elements in a small BGA package.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: 13,824 logic elements combined with embedded RAM provide a practical mix of resources for control and data-path tasks without overprovisioning.
• Substantial I/O Density: 165 user I/Os enable direct connection to a wide range of peripherals and sensors, reducing the need for external multiplexers or expanders.
• Industrial Reliability: Rated operation from −40 °C to 100 °C and industrial grade designation support deployment in demanding environmental conditions.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 256-LBGA (17×17) allows high integration on space-constrained PCBs while supporting standard SMT assembly.
• Predictable Power Requirements: Defined core voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V simplifies power supply design and validation.
• RoHS Compliance: Environmentally compliant manufacturing support for regulated markets.
