A3PE3000L-1FGG484M

The A3PE3000L-1FGG484M is a low-power flash-based field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology’s ProASIC3L family, provided in a 484-ball fine-pitch BGA (FGG484) package. This non-volatile, single-chip device leverages 130 nm flash technology to deliver instant-on capability without the need for external configuration memory, reducing board complexity and improving security. It offers 620 user I/Os supporting a wide range of signaling standards, making it suitable for dense, multi-voltage interface designs. The architecture includes embedded SRAM blocks, PLLs, and abundant logic resources, with the L-series providing significant static power reduction versus standard ProASIC3 devices for power-sensitive applications.

Typical deployment scenarios span industrial automation controllers, avionics processing modules, military communications systems, and other high-reliability embedded platforms where deterministic power-up behavior and resistance to single-event upsets are critical. The “M” suffix denotes extended military temperature range (–55°C to +125°C), ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments. From a procurement standpoint, Microchip’s long product lifecycle management mitigates obsolescence risk for defense and aerospace programs that require sustained availability. The flash-based fabric eliminates the bitstream storage vulnerabilities associated with SRAM-based FPGAs, while the FGG484 package supports dense PCB integration with excellent thermal performance. Its combination of low power, live-at-power-up functionality, and ruggedized temperature grading aligns with program requirements demanding both performance and extended operational longevity.
