A3PE3000L-FGG484M

The A3PE3000L-FGG484M is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, belonging to the ProASIC®3EL family of low-power, flash-based programmable logic devices. Built on a 130nm CMOS process, this device delivers 3 million system gates of logic density in a 484-ball fine-pitch ball grid array (FBGA) package. The flash-based architecture provides instant-on capability and eliminates the need for external configuration memory, while the low-power EL variant operates with a 1.2V core and 1.5V I/O supply to reduce dynamic and static power consumption. The part’s non-volatile configuration storage inherently protects against bitstream interception and single-event upsets, features critical for high-reliability environments.

Typical applications include industrial automation controllers, secure defense communications, avionics processing, and medical imaging equipment where deterministic power-up behavior and long-term reliability are essential. The ‘M’ suffix designates a military temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, confirming suitability for extended-temperature aerospace and defense platforms. Procurement teams recognize the ProASIC3EL series as a mature product line that Microchip continues to support with extended availability, reducing lifecycle risk for long-duration programs. The device’s reprogrammability and small footprint make it a practical choice for form-factor-constrained designs that must meet rigorous qualification standards without sacrificing logic headroom.
