M1A3P1000-PQG208

The M1A3P1000-PQG208 is a ProASIC3 reprogrammable, nonvolatile FPGA in a 208‑pin PQFP (28×28) package designed for commercial applications. It provides a single‑chip programmable logic solution with 24,576 logic elements, approximately 144,000 bits of embedded memory, and 154 user I/Os for mixed‑voltage interfacing.

This device targets cost‑ and power‑sensitive designs that require on‑chip nonvolatile configuration, compact surface‑mount packaging, and robust I/O flexibility within a commercial operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Approximately 24,576 logic elements (versatile fabric for combinational and sequential logic integration).
• System Gates  Approximately 1,000,000 equivalent system gates for implementing complex logic functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.144 Mbits of on‑chip SRAM (144,000 bits) for user data, buffers, and small FIFOs.
• I/O Capacity and Flexibility  154 user I/Os, supporting mixed‑voltage operation to interface with a range of external devices and domain voltages.
• Power and Supply  Core supply specified at 1.425 V; low‑power architecture suitable for battery‑sensitive and portable applications.
• Security and In‑System Programming  Series features include flash‑based reprogrammability and AES‑based secure ISP (as described in ProASIC3 documentation) for protected in‑system updates.
• Package and Mounting  208‑pin PQFP (28×28) in a surface‑mount tray format for standard PCB assembly processes.
• Commercial Grade  Rated for operation from 0 °C to 85 °C for commercial product deployments.

Typical Applications

• Portable and Battery‑Powered Devices  Low‑power core supply and single‑chip nonvolatile configuration make the device suitable for compact, power‑sensitive consumer products.
• Embedded Control and Interface  High I/O count and mixed‑voltage support enable sensor interfacing, user‑interface control, and peripheral bridging in embedded systems.
• Security‑Aware Systems  Flash‑based reprogrammability with AES‑protected ISP (per ProASIC3 family features) supports secure field updates and configuration protection.
• Rapid Time‑to‑Market Designs  Reprogrammable single‑chip implementation helps reduce BOM and accelerate development for competitive or fast‑moving markets.

Unique Advantages

• Single‑Chip, Nonvolatile Solution: Retains programmed design when powered off, eliminating the need for external configuration memory and simplifying board design.
• High Logic Density: Large logic element count and roughly 1,000,000 system gates enable implementation of substantial digital functions on one device.
• Flexible I/O Integration: 154 user I/Os with mixed‑voltage support reduce the need for level translators and external glue logic.
• Compact Surface‑Mount Packaging: 208‑pin PQFP in a tray package provides a compact footprint compatible with standard manufacturing processes.
• Commercial‑Grade Availability: Specified operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C aligns with a broad set of commercial product requirements.
