M1A3PE1500-PQG208

The M1A3PE1500-PQG208 is a ProASIC3E field programmable gate array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology designed for commercial electronic designs. It provides programmable logic capacity and on-chip embedded memory in a surface-mount 208‑lead package for integration into a wide range of board-level applications.

With a defined supply range and commercial operating temperature, the device targets designers who need a programmable logic element with substantial I/O and memory resources while maintaining RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 38,400 logic elements providing up to 1,500,000 gates of programmable logic for implementing custom logic, glue functions, and control modules.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.28 Mbits of on-chip RAM (276,480 total RAM bits) for buffering, FIFOs, and small data storage within designs.
• I/O Count  147 user I/O pins to support multiple interfaces and external device connections on a single device.
• Supply Voltage  Operates from 1.425 V to 1.575 V, enabling deterministic logic supply design and power planning.
• Package & Mounting  Surface-mount 208‑BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208‑PQFP, 28×28) for board-level integration where a high pin-count, leaded QFP footprint is required.
• Operating Range & Grade  Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C suitable for standard commercial environments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant to support regulatory requirements for lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems  Use the device’s 38,400 logic elements and 147 I/O to implement control, interfacing, and custom logic in commercial electronic products within the 0 °C to 85 °C range.
• Custom I/O and Glue Logic  Deploy the FPGA to consolidate discrete logic and interface translation using on-chip gates and abundant I/O pins.
• Data Buffering and Small Memory Tasks  Leverage approximately 0.28 Mbits of embedded RAM for short-term buffering, small FIFOs, and parameter storage close to logic functions.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Density:  Approximately 38,400 logic elements and 1,500,000 gates allow implementation of complex custom logic while reducing external components.
• Significant I/O Count:  147 I/O pins support multiple peripheral connections and system interfaces from a single device, simplifying board routing and integration.
• Compact, Board-Friendly Package:  208‑lead BFQFP surface-mount package (208‑PQFP, 28×28) provides high pin count in a well-known QFP footprint for many PCB layouts.
• Defined Power Envelope:  Narrow supply range (1.425 V–1.575 V) simplifies power supply design and margin planning for the core logic.
• Commercial Temperature Suitability:  Rated 0 °C to 85 °C for standard commercial deployments where that ambient range applies.
• RoHS Compliant:  Meets lead-free assembly requirements for modern manufacturing processes.
