M1A3P400-2FGG256I

The M1A3P400-2FGG256I is a ProASIC3 flash-based FPGA offering a balance of logic capacity, on-chip memory, and high I/O density in a compact 256-LBGA package. It combines reprogrammable, nonvolatile flash technology with system-oriented features aimed at industrial and embedded designs that require instant-on behavior, low power, and on-chip security.

Targeted use cases include industrial control, communications and instrumentation where a single-chip, reprogrammable FPGA with robust I/O and temperature range is required. The device delivers a combination of logic resources, embedded RAM, and a high pin count to simplify system integration.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 9,216 logic elements (9216) and approximately 400,000 system gates provide programmable fabric for combinational and sequential logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory — Total on-chip RAM of 55,296 bits (approximately 55.3 kbits) for small buffers, FIFOs, and state storage.
• High I/O Density — 178 user I/Os to support parallel interfaces, multiple I/O banks, and high-pin-count system requirements.
• Package and Mounting — 256-LBGA (supplier package: 256-FPBGA 17×17) with surface-mount construction suitable for compact board designs.
• Power Supply — Core supply range 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match low-voltage system cores.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Specified operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for demanding environmental conditions.
• Nonvolatile Flash Technology — Flash-based CMOS architecture enables reprogrammable, single-chip solutions that retain the programmed design when powered off.
• Security and In-System Programming — On-chip 128-bit AES decryption for JTAG-based ISP and FlashLock security designed to protect FPGA contents.
• Performance and Clocking — Family-level routing and clocking features (including configurable clock conditioning blocks and PLL capabilities) support high-performance system clocks and timing management.
• Standards and Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Implement motor control logic, sensor aggregation, and deterministic control paths using the device’s logic elements and wide operating temperature range.
• Communications and Networking — Use high I/O count and programmable fabric for protocol bridging, parallel interfaces, and custom packet processing functions.
• Instrumentation and Test Equipment — Leverage on-chip memory and flexible I/O for data capture, buffering, and control logic in measurement systems.
• Embedded System Integration — Replace discrete glue logic and reduce BOM by consolidating interface logic, timing control, and small state machines into a single reprogrammable device.

Unique Advantages

• Reprogrammable, Nonvolatile Flash: Retains configuration when powered off, enabling instant-on behavior and field reprogramming without external configuration memory.
• On-chip Security for ISP: Built-in 128-bit AES decryption and FlashLock features protect intellectual property and enable secure in-system programming via JTAG.
• High I/O Count in a Compact Package: 178 I/Os in a 256-LBGA footprint reduce board space while enabling multiple parallel interfaces and bank-selectable voltages.
• Industrial Temperature Capability: Operating range from −40 °C to 100 °C supports deployment in harsh or uncontrolled environments.
• Low-Voltage Core Support: Narrow core-supply window (1.425 V to 1.575 V) aligns with low-power system designs.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets environmental requirements for modern manufacturing and supply chains.
