A3PE1500-FGG484I

The A3PE1500-FGG484I from Microchip Technology is a ProASIC3E flash-based FPGA in a 484-ball fine-pitch BGA package, delivering 1.5 million system gates of reprogrammable, nonvolatile logic engineered for industrial-temperature operation. Its live-at-power-up flash technology eliminates the need for external configuration memories, enabling instant-on functionality while maintaining low static and dynamic power consumption. The 484-ball package provides a generous user I/O count supporting numerous single-ended and differential signaling standards, and the device integrates embedded SRAM blocks, PLLs, and an AES decryption engine for bitstream security—making it suitable for high-integration, security-conscious designs.

Typical applications include industrial motor drives, secure communications hardware, and aerospace/defense systems where immunity to configuration memory upsets and long lifecycle support are essential. The device also serves in radiation-tolerant flight computers, avionics interfaces, test-and-measurement instrumentation, and medical imaging equipment. The “‑I” suffix designates the industrial temperature grade, commonly covering –40°C to +100°C, while the ProASIC3E family benefits from Microchip’s customer-driven obsolescence management, minimizing redesign risk for programs with extended production and sustainment timelines.
