Overview of M7A3P1000-2FG256 – ProASIC3 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 177 147456 256-LBGA
The M7A3P1000-2FG256 is a ProASIC3 field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 256-LBGA package, manufactured for commercial applications. It provides a combination of logic density, on-chip memory, and a high count of I/O pins suitable for mid-range programmable logic designs.
Key attributes include 24,576 logic elements, approximately 0.147 Mbits of embedded memory, 177 I/O pins, and a 1.425 V–1.575 V supply window, packaged in a 256-FPBGA (17×17) surface-mount form factor.
Key Features
- Logic Capacity — 24,576 logic elements and 1,000,000 gates provide substantial programmable logic resources for custom digital designs.
- Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.147 Mbits (147,456 bits) of on-chip RAM for buffering, state storage, and small data structures.
- I/O Count — 177 user I/O pins support complex interface and connectivity requirements in a compact package.
- Power — Operates from a 1.425 V to 1.575 V supply range, enabling integration with systems designed to that core voltage specification.
- Package and Mounting — 256-LBGA package (supplier device package: 256-FPBGA, 17×17) optimized for surface-mount assembly in space-conscious designs.
- Operating Range — Commercial-grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C for standard commercial environments.
- Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant for regulatory alignment in lead-free manufacturing.
Typical Applications
- Interface Bridging and Protocol Conversion — Use the 177 I/O pins and programmable logic to implement custom protocol translators and multi-interface bridges.
- Control and Timing Logic — Implement centralized control functions, state machines, and timing-critical logic using the available logic elements and embedded RAM.
- Data Buffering and Small Memory Tasks — Leverage approximately 0.147 Mbits of on-chip RAM for buffering, FIFOs, and temporary data storage within embedded systems.
Unique Advantages
- High Logic Density: 24,576 logic elements and 1,000,000 gates provide ample resources to consolidate multiple functions into a single device, reducing board-level component count.
- Integrated Memory: Approximately 0.147 Mbits of embedded RAM supports local buffering and state retention without external memory.
- Generous I/O Count: 177 I/O pins enable flexible interface options and reduce the need for external I/O expanders.
- Compact, Surface-Mount Package: The 256-FPBGA (17×17) LBGA package offers a compact footprint for space-constrained PCBs while maintaining robust pin availability.
- Commercial-Grade Availability: Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliance to meet standard commercial manufacturing and deployment requirements.
- Defined Supply Range: Clear 1.425 V–1.575 V supply specification simplifies power system design and verification.
