A500K050-FG144

The Actel A500K050-FG144 is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the ProASIC 500K family. This device offers 43K system gates and utilizes 5376 cells, built on a 0.25um technology process. It operates at a voltage of 2.5V and comes in a 144-pin FBGA package.

The ProASIC 500K family is known for its nonvolatile Flash technology, combining ASIC advantages with programmable device benefits. These FPGAs are designed to shorten time-to-production by enabling designers to create high-density systems using existing ASIC or FPGA design flows and tools. They are suitable for applications in networking, telecom, computer, and consumer markets.

Key specifications include a system gate count ranging from 100,000 to 475,000, with embedded two-port SRAM from 14k to 63k bits. The device supports up to 440 user I/Os and features a 33 MHz PCI 32-bit interface. Internal system performance can reach up to 250 MHz, with external system performance up to 100 MHz. The technology is nonvolatile and reprogrammable, remaining live at power-up without requiring a configuration device.

This particular part, A500K050-FG144, is in an obsolete lifecycle status. It is packaged in a 144-pin FBGA format, designed for surface mount applications.
