Key Features

• Core & Logic  9,216 logic elements (cells) and a device gate count of 400,000 provide a mid-density programmable fabric for control, glue logic, and moderate-complexity custom functions.
• Embedded Memory  55,296 bits of on-chip RAM deliver local storage for FIFOs, buffers, and small data tables; the ProASIC3 family also includes user nonvolatile FlashROM for configuration storage.
• I/O Flexibility  97 user I/Os with support for mixed-voltage operation (series-level support for 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V and 3.3V I/O standards) and bank-selectable voltages enable interfacing with a wide range of peripherals and sensors.
• Security & In-System Programming  Series features include in-system programming with on-chip AES decryption and FlashLock security for protected configuration and secure IP deployment.
• Low-Voltage, Low-Power Operation  Core supply specified from 1.425 V to 1.575 V (typical 1.5V), supporting low-power system architectures and battery-backed applications.
• Clocking & Timing  The family offers configurable clock-conditioning blocks and PLL options (series-level capability), supporting flexible clock management for complex designs.
• Package & Assembly  Surface-mount 144-LBGA package (supplier device package: 144-FPBGA 13×13) provides a compact footprint suitable for high-density boards.
• Industrial Temperature Range  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C to meet industrial-environment requirements.
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Deterministic logic, I/O aggregation, and protocol bridging in automation and control equipment where industrial temperature capability is required.
• Portable and Battery-Powered Devices  Low core voltage and nonvolatile instant-on configuration make this FPGA suitable for compact, power-sensitive portable designs.
• Secure Embedded Systems  On-chip AES-based in-system programming and FlashLock help protect configuration data and intellectual property in security-conscious products.
• In-System Programmable Logic for Prototyping and Production  Reprogrammable flash-based configuration enables field updates and design iteration without external configuration memory.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated mid-density FPGA: 9,216 logic elements with 97 I/Os and on-chip RAM reduce external components and simplify board-level design.
• Nonvolatile, instant-on operation: Flash-based configuration retains designs when powered off and enables immediate startup behavior for time-sensitive systems.
• Secure configuration: On-chip AES decryption and FlashLock support protect configuration bitstreams and enable secure field programming.
• Low-voltage core for power-sensitive designs: 1.425 V to 1.575 V supply range aligns with low-power system requirements and battery-backed environments.
• Industrial temperature rating: −40 °C to 100 °C operation supports deployments in demanding ambient conditions.
• Compact LBGA package: 144-LBGA / 144-FPBGA (13×13) helps save PCB area while maintaining a high pin count for I/O and power distribution.
