M1A3P250-2PQ208I

The M1A3P250-2PQ208I is a ProASIC3 field programmable gate array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology. It provides programmable logic with 6,144 logic elements, on-chip embedded memory, and up to 151 general-purpose I/O in a compact 208-BFQFP surface-mount package.

Engineered for industrial applications, this device combines a defined logic capacity, moderate embedded RAM, and a wide operating temperature range to address industrial embedded systems and control designs that require reprogrammable logic and flexible I/O integration.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 6,144 logic elements (LEs) supporting up to 250,000 equivalent gates for implementing custom logic functions.
• Embedded Memory — 36,864 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 0.037 Mbits) to support buffers, small FIFOs, and local data storage.
• I/O Resources — 151 available I/O pins to connect to sensors, buses, peripherals, and external logic.
• Package and Mounting — 208-BFQFP (supplier package 208-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB-level integration where footprint and leaded interfaces are required.
• Power — Core voltage supply range specified at 1.425 V to 1.575 V for system power budgeting and regulator selection.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Rated to operate from −40°C to 100°C, suitable for a range of industrial environments.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant, supporting environmental and regulatory considerations for lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Implement custom logic, state machines, and interface bridging in factory automation or process control systems that require industrial-grade components and wide temperature operation.
• Embedded Systems — Integrate programmable logic for peripheral offloading, protocol handling, or glue logic in embedded products that need a balance of logic elements and I/O density.
• Instrumentation — Use the device for signal aggregation, simple data buffering, and I/O routing in test and measurement equipment operating across industrial temperature ranges.
• Prototyping and Development — Rapidly iterate hardware logic and I/O configurations during development phases using the reprogrammable ProASIC3 architecture.

Unique Advantages

• Defined Logic Density: 6,144 logic elements provide a clear target for partitioning designs and estimating resource usage without over-provisioning.
• Compact, High I/O Count: 151 I/O pins in a 208-BFQFP package help consolidate external interfaces while maintaining a compact PCB footprint.
• On-Chip Memory: 36,864 bits of embedded RAM allow localized data storage for buffering and small-state implementations, reducing external memory needs.
• Industrial Temperature Rating: −40°C to 100°C operation expands deployment options into harsher environmental conditions common to industrial applications.
• Low-Voltage Core: Specified core supply from 1.425 V to 1.575 V enables predictable power design and regulator selection for modern low-voltage systems.
• RoHS Compliant: Supports lead-free manufacturing and regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial product lines.
