A3P1000-1PQG208M

Now discontinued by Microchip Technology, the A3P1000-1PQG208M is a member of the ProASIC3 family of flash-based FPGAs, factory-rated for military and high-reliability environments. Delivering 1 million system gates with a non-volatile, live-at-power-up architecture, this device eliminates external configuration memory and offers inherent design security against bitstream cloning. It is housed in a 208-lead Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP), providing up to 154 user I/Os with support for multiple I/O standards. The flash-based fabric enables instant-on operation and single-chip implementation, characteristics that have made the ProASIC3 series a mainstay in avionics, radar processing, secure communications, and other defense electronics where firm real-time response and radiation tolerance are critical.

This part has reached official end-of-life status and is no longer in active production, rendering manufacturer stock unavailable. ZZX Electronics supplies remaining sustaining inventory with full date-code traceability, offering procurement teams a reliable path for maintaining deployed systems where a board redesign or requalification cycle is cost-prohibitive or time-constrained by regulatory recertification. The -M suffix designates military-grade screening over an extended temperature range (typically –55 °C to +125 °C), making the A3P1000-1PQG208M suitable for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications with prolonged deployment lifecycles. Engineers maintaining legacy platforms can leverage this drop-in resource to avoid the complexity and schedule risk of migrating to a newer FPGA, while ensuring continuity of verified hardware through controlled, traceable obsolete component sourcing.
