M1A3P1000-PQ208

The M1A3P1000-PQ208 is a ProASIC3 family flash-based FPGA featuring low-power Flash*Freeze technology. It delivers a large logic fabric and on-chip embedded memory in a compact surface-mount 208-pin BFQFP package for commercial-grade designs.

With approximately 24,576 logic elements, about 147,456 bits of embedded RAM, and 154 I/O pins, this device targets embedded designs that require non-volatile configuration, significant programmable logic capacity, and a broad I/O complement while operating from a narrow core supply range.

Key Features

• Core & Logic: Approximately 24,576 logic elements and roughly 1,000,000 gates provide substantial programmable logic capacity for custom functions and control logic.
• Embedded Memory: Approximately 147,456 bits (~0.147 Mbits) of on-chip RAM for data buffering, state machines, and small lookup tables.
• I/O Density: 154 dedicated I/O pins support flexible interfacing and peripheral connectivity.
• Non-volatile Configuration: Flash-based architecture with Flash*Freeze technology for low-power configuration retention and predictable startup behavior.
• Power Supply: Core voltage operation specified from 1.425 V to 1.575 V for controlled power budgeting and supply design.
• Package & Mounting: 208-BFQFP (supplier device package 208-PQFP, 28 × 28) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB integration.
• Operating Range: Commercial grade operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant for environmental and regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control Systems: Use the device’s 24,576 logic elements and on-chip RAM to implement custom control logic, finite state machines, and peripheral glue logic.
• I/O Expansion and Interface Bridging: The 154 I/O pins allow consolidation of multiple interfaces and signal-level translation in compact system designs.
• Low-Power FPGA Functions: Flash-based configuration with Flash*Freeze technology suits applications that require non-volatile configuration and controlled power profiles.

Unique Advantages

• Flash Non-Volatile Configuration: Built-in flash configuration eliminates the need for external configuration memory while enabling instant-on behavior after power-up.
• High Logic Density: Roughly 24,576 logic elements and ~1,000,000 gates enable complex custom logic without resorting to larger device families.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: The 208-BFQFP (208-PQFP, 28×28) provides a balance of pin count and PCB footprint for space-constrained designs.
• Predictable Power Envelope: A clearly defined core voltage range (1.425–1.575 V) simplifies power-supply design and margining.
• Commercial Temperature Support: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation to match a wide range of commercial embedded applications.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets RoHS requirements for lead-free assembly and regulatory alignment.
