M1A3P250-VQ100I

The M1A3P250-VQ100I is a ProASIC3 FPGA device from Microchip Technology, offering a mid-range programmable logic solution in a 100-lead TQFP package. It provides 6,144 logic elements, 36,864 bits of on-chip RAM, and 68 user I/O pins, making it suitable for embedded digital designs that require moderate logic capacity and flexible I/O.

With an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C and an industrial grade classification, this device targets industrial applications and embedded systems that demand reliable operation across extended temperature ranges. The device operates from a defined supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and is intended for surface-mount PCB assembly.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 6,144 logic elements (cells) and approximately 250,000 equivalent gates provide the programmable resources for implementing custom digital logic and state machines.
• Embedded Memory — 36,864 bits of on-chip RAM for data buffering, FIFOs, and small lookup tables.
• I/O — 68 user I/O pins to support multiple external interfaces, parallel buses, and control signals.
• Power — Defined core supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V for predictable power integration and rail planning.
• Package and Mounting — Available in a 100-TQFP package (supplier device package: 100-VQFP, 14×14 mm) designed for surface-mount assembly.
• Temperature and Grade — Industrial grade device with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C for robust field operation.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant to support regulatory and environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Implement custom control logic, protocol bridging, and I/O conditioning for factory automation and control equipment operating across extended temperatures.
• Embedded Systems — Provide glue logic, peripheral interfaces, and moderate complexity system functions in embedded designs with constrained board area.
• Interface and I/O Management — Drive and aggregate multiple digital signals or buses using the 68 available I/O pins to simplify board-level connectivity.
• Prototyping and Custom Logic — Validate and deploy custom finite state machines, timing-critical logic, and bespoke data paths during product development.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory Resources: 6,144 logic elements paired with 36,864 bits of embedded RAM support a wide range of medium-complexity digital functions without external memory.
• Ample I/O Count: 68 user I/Os allow flexible interfacing to peripherals, sensors, and buses, reducing the need for external interface ICs.
• Industrial Temperature Range: Rated for −40 °C to 100 °C and specified as industrial grade, suitable for deployment in demanding environments.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 100-TQFP (100-VQFP, 14×14 mm) enables high-density PCB designs while remaining compatible with standard surface-mount assembly processes.
• Predictable Power Envelope: Narrow supply range (1.425 V–1.575 V) simplifies power-supply design and decoupling considerations for the core rail.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental and supply-chain requirements.
