A3PE3000L-1FGG896M

The A3PE3000L-1FGG896M is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology’s ProASIC3L family, designed for low-power, high-reliability embedded systems. Based on non-volatile flash technology, the device provides 3 million system gates and 620 user I/Os in a fine-pitch 896-ball BGA (FGG896) package. It operates as a single-chip solution without the need for external configuration memory, enabling instant-on capability and inherent immunity to configuration upset. The -1 speed grade and M temperature suffix denote a military-qualified component rated for reliable operation across the full -55°C to +125°C range, with flash-based configuration that eliminates the susceptibility to radiation-induced configuration errors typical of SRAM-based FPGAs.

Typical end-use scenarios include digital signal processing, secure communications, motor control, and system management functions in defense avionics, aerospace guidance systems, and ruggedized industrial controllers where extended temperature operation and long-term availability are essential. The non-volatile architecture also simplifies system design in power-constrained and safety-critical applications by removing the need for an external boot PROM. From a procurement standpoint, the military temperature rating and Microchip’s long lifecycle support for the ProASIC3L family help mitigate obsolescence risk in programs with extended qualification cycles. The FGG896 package is a RoHS-compliant, lead-free variant, and the M-grade screening makes this component suitable for high-reliability military and aerospace platforms subject to stringent thermal and environmental requirements.
