M1A3P400-FGG144

The M1A3P400-FGG144 is a ProASIC3 flash-based FPGA from Microchip Technology, offering a reprogrammable, nonvolatile single-chip solution for commercial electronic designs. It delivers a combination of logic capacity, embedded memory, and mixed-voltage I/O in a compact 144-LBGA package suitable for space-constrained applications.

Designed for low-power, secure, instant-on operation, this device fits commercial products and portable applications that require on-chip nonvolatile configuration, flexible I/O options, and hardware-level security features for in-system programming.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 9,216 logic elements (cells) and a device-rated equivalence of 400,000 system gates to support mid-density logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory — 55,296 total RAM bits of on-chip SRAM for data buffering, FIFOs, and small on-chip storage.
• I/O — 97 user I/Os with support for mixed-voltage operation (1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V) and bank-selectable I/O voltages for flexible board-level interfacing.
• Core Power — Low-voltage core supply specified at 1.425 V to 1.575 V to support low-power system designs.
• In-System Programming & Security — On-chip 128-bit AES decryption for JTAG-based ISP and FlashLock® support to protect programmed designs.
• Performance & Clocking — Series-level capability of up to 350 MHz system performance and up to six Clock Conditioning Circuit (CCC) blocks, including one CCC with an integrated PLL for flexible clock management.
• Package & Mounting — 144-LBGA (supplier package: 144-FPBGA 13×13), surface-mount package; commercial temperature grade with an operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Design Convenience — Flash-based instant-on, single-chip solution that retains programmed configuration when powered off and supports hot-swap capable I/Os and selectable Schmitt-trigger inputs (series features).
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Portable Consumer Electronics — On-chip nonvolatile configuration and low core voltage enable compact, battery-aware products requiring instant-on logic control and flexible I/O.
• Embedded Control & Interfaces — Use for sensor interfacing, protocol bridging, and user interface control where mixed-voltage I/Os and moderate logic density are required.
• Secure In-System Programmable Systems — Secure AES-based ISP and FlashLock support firmware update and IP protection workflows in commercial equipment.
• ASIC/ASSP Replacement & Prototyping — Reprogrammable flash technology lets designers iterate quickly and deploy a single-chip solution in fast-moving product development cycles.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile, Reprogrammable Architecture: Flash-based configuration retains the design when power is removed while allowing reprogramming for updates or revisions.
• Secure Field Updates: Built-in 128-bit AES decryption for JTAG-based ISP and FlashLock help protect configuration data during in-system programming.
• Flexible I/O Integration: 97 user I/Os with bank-selectable voltages reduce the need for external level shifters and simplify mixed-signal board designs.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package: 144-LBGA (13×13 FPBGA) provides a small footprint for space-constrained commercial products while supporting surface-mount assembly.
• Low-Voltage Operation: Narrow core supply range centered on 1.5 V supports low-power system design objectives.
• Clocking and Performance Options: Multiple CCC blocks and an integrated PLL (series capability) allow flexible clock management for higher-performance designs up to the series’ published performance level.
