M7A3P1000-1FGG256I

The M7A3P1000-1FGG256I is a ProASIC3 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology designed for industrial applications. It provides a balanced combination of logic capacity, embedded memory and I/O density in a compact 256-pin BGA package.

With 24,576 logic elements, approximately 0.147 Mbits of on-chip RAM, and up to 177 I/O, this device targets embedded and industrial systems that require mid-range programmable logic, a defined operating voltage window, and an extended temperature range.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 24,576 logic elements (cells) delivering up to 1,000,000 equivalent gates for implementing custom digital functions.
• Embedded Memory — 147,456 total RAM bits (approximately 0.147 Mbits) for on-chip data buffering and state storage.
• I/O Density — 177 user I/O pins to support multiple interfaces and signal routing requirements.
• Power — Defined supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V for core operation.
• Package — 256-LBGA package (supplier device package 256-FPBGA, 17×17) in a surface-mount form factor to suit compact board layouts.
• Industrial Grade & Temperature Range — Specified for industrial operation from −40 °C to 100 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant to meet regulatory requirements for lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Implement custom control logic and interfaces for factory automation and process control, leveraging the industrial temperature rating for reliable operation.
• Embedded Systems — Integrate mid-range programmable logic and on-chip RAM to handle system glue logic, protocol handling and data buffering in compact products.
• Interface Bridging — Use available I/O count to consolidate multiple interface conversions, signal aggregations, or bespoke peripheral interfaces.
• Communication Modules — Implement protocol processing and timing-critical logic where a combination of logic elements and embedded RAM is required.

Unique Advantages
