M1A3PE1500-1PQG208I

The M1A3PE1500-1PQG208I is a ProASIC3E Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology, supplied in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount package. It delivers a sizable programmable fabric—38,400 logic elements—and a moderate amount of embedded memory, targeted for industrial applications that require configurable logic, deterministic I/O and robust operating ranges.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Contains 38,400 logic elements providing programmable resources to implement complex digital functions and custom logic blocks.
• Gate Count  Approximately 1.5 million gates to support large-scale combinational and sequential logic designs.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.276 Mbits of on-chip RAM (276,480 bits) for buffering, state storage and small data tables.
• I/O Resources  147 general-purpose I/O pins to interface with sensors, peripherals and external logic.
• Power  Core supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V to align with low-voltage system domains.
• Package & Mounting  208-BFQFP (supplier device package: 208-PQFP 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB assembly and compact system integration.
• Operating Range  Industrial-grade operation from -40°C to 100°C for deployment in demanding environments.
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant to meet lead-free assembly and environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Use the 38,400 logic elements and 147 I/O to implement control algorithms, sensor interfaces and I/O aggregation in industrial automation systems.
• Communications & Networking  Deploy as protocol bridges, packet-processing accelerators or interface logic where medium-density logic and multiple I/O are required.
• Test & Measurement  Leverage on-chip RAM and abundant logic resources for timing-critical data capture, custom signal processing and instrument control.

Unique Advantages

• Highly configurable logic fabric: 38,400 logic elements enable designers to implement complex, custom digital functions without discrete CPLD or ASIC redesigns.
• Moderate embedded memory: Approximately 0.276 Mbits of on-chip RAM support buffering and state retention for many control and processing tasks, reducing the need for external memory in compact designs.
• Generous I/O count: 147 I/O pins simplify board-level integration by accommodating multiple peripherals and interfaces directly.
• Industrial temperature rating: -40°C to 100°C operation supports deployment in challenging environments common to industrial systems.
• Compact surface-mount package: 208-BFQFP (28×28 PQFP footprint) balances pin density and board-space considerations for medium-complexity assemblies.
• Vendor backing: Supplied by Microchip Technology and offered with documented specifications to support design validation and lifecycle planning.
