M1A3P250-2PQ208

The M1A3P250-2PQ208 is a ProASIC3 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology. It provides a mid-density programmable logic solution with defined on-chip memory, a substantial I/O count, and a compact surface-mount package.

With 6,144 logic elements (approximately 250,000 gates), 36,864 bits of embedded RAM, and 151 user I/Os, this commercial-grade FPGA is targeted at designers implementing moderate-complexity logic, control functions, and I/O-rich interfaces within a 0 °C to 85 °C operating range.

Key Features

• Core Logic Provides 6,144 logic elements (equivalent to 250,000 gates) for moderate-complexity logic integration and programmable logic functions.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 0.037 Mbits (36,864 bits) of on-chip RAM to support data buffering, small FIFOs, and local storage.
• I/O Capability 151 user I/O pins for broad external device connectivity, parallel interfaces, and control signal routing.
• Power Specified core supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V for defined power domain planning.
• Package and Mounting Supplied in a 208-BFQFP (208-PQFP, 28×28 mm) surface-mount package for PCB-level assembly and placement.
• Operating Range Commercial grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation.
• Regulatory RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement control logic, protocol conversion, and glue logic in commercial equipment and appliances operating in standard temperature environments.
• Consumer Electronics — Handle user-interface control, peripheral coordination, and custom timing/sequence logic where moderate logic density and plentiful I/O are needed.
• Instrumentation and Test Equipment — Provide configurable logic, signal routing, and small data buffering for bench instruments and production testers in commercial settings.
• Prototyping and Design Evaluation — Use as a mid-density FPGA option for validating logic architectures and I/O schemes prior to deployment in commercial products.

Unique Advantages

• Moderate Logic Density: 6,144 logic elements and 250,000 gates offer a balance between capability and footprint for mid-range designs.
• Compact, High-Count I/O: 151 I/Os enable extensive external interfacing without resorting to larger packages.
• On-Chip Memory: 36,864 bits of embedded RAM support local buffering and small data structures, reducing external memory requirements.
• Defined Power Envelope: Narrow core voltage range (1.425 V–1.575 V) simplifies power-supply design and domain planning.
• Standard Surface-Mount Package: 208-BFQFP (28×28 mm) format eases PCB layout and assembly for volume manufacturing.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets lead-free and restricted-substance requirements for commercial product assemblies.
