M1A3PE1500-1FG484

The M1A3PE1500-1FG484 is a ProASIC3E family Field Programmable Gate Array from Microchip Technology. It provides a mid-density, flash-based FPGA fabric with a balance of logic capacity, on-chip memory and I/O resources for embedded digital designs.

With 38,400 logic elements, approximately 0.28 Mbits of embedded RAM and 280 I/O pins in a compact 484-ball BGA package, this device targets designs that require substantial I/O, moderate logic density and controlled power domains within a commercial temperature range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 38,400 logic elements (CLBs) providing up to 1,500,000 gate equivalents for implementing custom digital functions and glue logic.
• Embedded Memory — 276,480 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 0.28 Mbits) to support buffering, small data stores and state machine implementations.
• I/O Resources — 280 user I/O pins to support dense peripheral interfaces, sensor arrays and multi-channel signal routing.
• Package & Mounting — 484-ball FPBGA (23 × 23 mm) footprint in a surface-mount package for compact board-level integration.
• Power — Core supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match targeted system power rails and domain requirements.
• Operating Range & Grade — Commercial temperature grade rated from 0 °C to 85 °C; suitable for standard commercial applications.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant to meet common environmental and manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• I/O-Intensive Interfaces — Ideal for designs that require a large number of parallel or multi-protocol I/O connections, such as interface hubs and protocol bridging.
• Custom Digital Logic — Suited for implementing custom controllers, glue logic and finite state machines where moderate logic density and on-chip RAM are required.
• Embedded System Integration — Useful in systems that need compact FPGA integration in a BGA package for board-level space savings while retaining significant I/O.
• Data Buffering and Small Memory Tasks — On-chip RAM supports buffering, temporary storage and small lookup tables within embedded designs.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: 38,400 logic elements combined with ~0.28 Mbits of embedded RAM give designers a practical mix for a wide range of mid-density functions.
• Extensive I/O Count: 280 I/O pins enable integration with multiple peripherals and interfaces without external I/O expanders.
• Compact BGA Packaging: 484-ball FPBGA (23 × 23 mm) allows high pin-count integration in a compact surface-mount form factor for space-constrained PCBs.
• Defined Power Envelope: A narrow core voltage range (1.425 V–1.575 V) helps simplify power-supply planning and domain control.
• Commercial Grade & RoHS Compliance: Rated 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliant, suitable for mainstream commercial products and manufacturing flows.
• Backed by Microchip Technology: Manufacturer support and ecosystem continuity for integration into longer-term projects.
