M1A3P600-2FGG256I

The M1A3P600-2FGG256I is a ProASIC3 flash FPGA device offering nonvolatile, reprogrammable logic in a compact 256-LBGA package. Built on the ProASIC3 family architecture, it provides instant-on flash configuration, security-capable in-system programming, and a balance of logic density, embedded memory, and I/O for industrial embedded systems.

This device targets designs that require up to 600,000 system gates with 13,824 logic elements, approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded RAM, and 177 user I/Os—delivering integration and low-power operation suitable for industrial temperature environments.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 600,000 system gates and 13,824 logic elements (VersaTiles) to implement medium-density custom logic and state machines.
• Embedded Memory — Total on-chip RAM of 110,592 bits (approximately 0.11 Mbits) plus family-level on-chip FlashROM for configuration storage.
• I/O Count & Flexibility — 177 user I/Os to support multi-channel interfaces and external device connectivity; family-level support for mixed-voltage I/O standards enables flexible signaling options.
• Performance — Family-level system performance up to 350 MHz for synchronous logic and high-speed data paths.
• Secure In-System Programming — Supports AES-based 128-bit decryption for secure JTAG in-system programming and FlashLock® security features (family-level).
• Power and Voltage — Core supply range 1.425 V to 1.575 V and family support for low-power/1.5 V-only system operation.
• Package and Thermal — Surface-mount 256-LBGA (supplier package 256-FPBGA, 17 × 17 mm) rated for industrial operating temperatures from −40 °C to 100 °C.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Automation — Implements control logic, signal conditioning and interface bridging in industrial systems that require industrial temperature range and robust packaging.
• Communications and Networking — Provides medium-density programmable logic and multiple I/Os for protocol bridging, packet preprocessing, or custom interface logic.
• Low-Power Embedded Systems — Nonvolatile flash configuration and low core-voltage operation support instant-on behavior and lower standby power for embedded devices.
• Prototyping and Custom Logic — Reprogrammable flash FPGA enables iterative development of ASIC-like functions and hardware acceleration without sacrificing nonvolatile configuration retention.

Unique Advantages

• Instant-on, nonvolatile operation: Flash-based configuration retains programmed design when powered off, eliminating external configuration memory.
• Secure field updates: AES 128-bit ISP capability allows encrypted in-system programming to protect bitstreams during field updates.
• Balanced integration: Combines 600k gates, 13,824 logic elements, and on-chip RAM to reduce external component count and simplify system design.
• Flexible I/O support: High I/O count and family-level mixed-voltage I/O support make it adaptable to varied signaling standards and multiple peripheral interfaces.
• Industrial-ready packaging and range: Surface-mount 256-LBGA package and −40 °C to 100 °C operating range accommodate demanding deployment environments.
