M1A3P400-PQG208I

The M1A3P400-PQG208I is a ProASIC3 family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology. It delivers a reprogrammable, nonvolatile FPGA fabric with 400,000 system gates and approximately 9,216 logic elements, targeted at designs that require integration, low power, and on-chip configurability.

Designed for industrial use, this device features 151 user I/Os, on-chip RAM, a compact 208-pin BFQFP package, and an extended operating temperature range, making it suitable for portable, battery-backed, and industrial applications where reliability and board-level density matter.

Key Features

• Core and Logic — Approximately 9,216 logic elements delivering a 400,000-gate equivalent fabric for implementing custom logic and glue-logic functions.
• Embedded Memory — 55,296 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 0.055 Mbits) to support FIFOs, state machines, and small data buffers.
• Rich I/O Count — 151 user I/Os to connect sensors, peripherals, and external logic with flexible banking.
• Package and Mounting — 208-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for high-density board designs.
• Power Supply — Core supply range specified at 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match low-voltage system designs.
• Temperature and Grade — Industrial-grade device with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C for use in harsher environments.
• Nonvolatile, Reprogrammable Flash — ProASIC3 family heritage: flash-based reprogrammability that retains the programmed design when powered off.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS-compliant construction to meet modern regulatory requirements.

Typical Applications

• Portable and Battery-Powered Devices — Low-voltage core and nonvolatile configuration enable instant-on and power-efficient operation in compact, battery-backed systems.
• Consumer and High-Volume Electronics — Reprogrammable flash FPGA allows design flexibility and fast time-to-market for product variants and iterative feature updates.
• Industrial Control and Instrumentation — Industrial temperature range and robust I/O count support control logic, signal interfacing, and customization in industrial equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile Configuration: Flash-based technology retains programmed logic when power is removed, reducing external configuration components.
• High I/O Density: 151 user I/Os in a 208-pin BFQFP package provides a balance of connectivity and compact board footprint.
• Industrial Temperature Range: −40 °C to 100 °C rating supports deployment in temperature-challenging environments.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 208-PQFP (28×28) surface-mount package simplifies assembly for medium-density PCBs.
• Proven Family Features: Leverages ProASIC3 family capabilities such as low-power operation and reprogrammability for flexible design iterations.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS status is compliant to support modern manufacturing and distribution requirements.
