M7A3P1000-FG144

The M7A3P1000-FG144 is a ProASIC3 family field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for commercial electronic applications. It provides a balance of logic capacity, embedded memory, and I/O capability in a compact 144-ball BGA package for general-purpose programmable logic tasks.

This device is suited to commercial embedded designs that require up to approximately one million gates and moderate on-chip RAM, while operating within a 0 °C to 85 °C temperature range and a core supply of 1.425 V to 1.575 V.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Approximately 24,576 logic elements, providing substantial programmable logic capacity for a range of medium-density designs.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.147 Mbits of on-chip RAM (147,456 bits) for data buffering, state storage, and small lookup tables.
• Gate Count  Approximately 1,000,000 gates to support complex combinational and sequential logic implementations.
• I/O  97 user I/Os for interfacing with peripherals, sensors, and external buses.
• Power  Core supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match system power rails for the ProASIC3 family.
• Package & Mounting  Surface-mount 144-LBGA; supplier device package listed as 144-FPBGA (13x13), offering a compact footprint for space-constrained boards.
• Temperature & Grade  Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C for standard commercial environments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant, supporting regulatory requirements for lead-free assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Consumer Electronics  Implement control and interface logic for devices such as multimedia peripherals, home networking equipment, and smart peripherals.
• Communications Equipment  Perform glue logic, protocol bridging, and custom packet handling in small-to-medium communications modules.
• Custom Controllers  Act as the programmable core for motor control interfaces, display controllers, and specialized peripheral management in commercial products.
• Prototyping and Development  Provide a programmable platform for evaluating algorithms and hardware architectures before final integration.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Density: Approximately 24,576 logic elements and ~1,000,000 gates enable implementation of moderately complex logic without external ASICs.
• On-chip Memory: Approximately 0.147 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces dependence on external memory for small buffers and lookup tables.
• Flexible I/O Count: With 97 I/Os, the device supports multiple peripheral interfaces and parallel connections without immediate need for expanders.
• Compact Package: The 144-LBGA / 144-FPBGA (13x13) package minimizes PCB area for space-constrained designs.
• Commercial Temperature Rating: Rated 0 °C to 85 °C to match standard commercial product environments and deployment scenarios.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance aids in meeting lead-free assembly requirements for modern electronic products.
