A3PE3000L-1FG484I

The A3PE3000L-1FG484I is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, part of the ProASIC®3EL low-power family fabricated on a 130nm flash-based CMOS process. This device integrates 3 million system gates of reconfigurable logic within a 484-ball fine-pitch ball grid array (FBGA) package, operating from a 1.2V core supply. Its non-volatile flash architecture enables live-at-power-up capability without requiring an external configuration memory, while retaining configuration data during power cycles. The -1 speed grade supports internal fabric performance up to 892.86 MHz, and the ‘I’ suffix designates an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for harsh-environment deployment where consistent cold-start behavior is critical.

Typical end-use scenarios include aerospace guidance systems, defense avionics, secure communications nodes, and industrial motor control or robotics where logic density, low dynamic power, and instant-on operation are paramount. The flash-based configuration storage also provides inherent security against bitstream tampering and cloning, reducing the need for additional encryption chips. In procurement contexts, ProASIC3EL devices are part of Microchip’s long-lifecycle product portfolio with continued availability and no active end-of-life notice, supporting extended program timelines common in mil-aero and high-reliability programs. The industrial temperature grading, combined with single-event upset (SEU) immunity of flash cells, reduces qualification burden for systems that must meet derating or environmental screening requirements.
