- 144 Kbits true dual-port on-chip SRAM
- Industrial-grade temperature range: –40°C to +85°C
The ACTEL A3P1000-FG256I is a ProASIC3 family flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Actel (Microsemi / Microchip), offering 1,000,000 equivalent system gates on a 130nm CMOS flash process. The "FG256I" suffix identifies the 256-pin FBGA package and industrial temperature rating. Built on Actel's proven nonvolatile flash technology, the device is secure, low-power, and Instant-On — requiring no external configuration memory or boot device at power-up.
Unlike SRAM-based FPGAs, the ACTEL A3P1000-FG256I retains its configuration permanently after programming and is fully re-programmable in-system. It includes 144 Kbits of true dual-port SRAM, an integrated phase-locked loop (PLL) for clock conditioning, and 1 Kbit of on-chip nonvolatile FlashROM storage. With up to 177 user I/O pins in a compact 256-pin FBGA footprint, the ACTEL A3P1000-FG256I is ideal for designs requiring high gate density in a smaller package size.
