APA1000-CQ352BX384

The Microsemi APA1000-CQ352BX384 is an FPGA from the ProASIC PLUS family, known for its enhanced performance and nonvolatile flash technology. This device combines ASIC advantages with programmable device benefits, enabling high-density system creation using existing design flows. It features up to one million system gates, supported by up to 198 kbits of two-port SRAM and up to 712 user I/Os, providing 50 MHz PCI performance.

The ProASIC PLUS family utilizes a 0.22 µm 4 LM Flash-Based CMOS Process and operates at 2.5V. Key features include Live At Power-Up (LAPU) support, eliminating the need for external configuration devices. The device retains programmed designs during power cycles and offers in-system reprogramming for design iterations and field upgrades. Security mechanisms are integrated to protect program information.

This FPGA is housed in a 352-pin CQFP package. It is suitable for applications in the networking, communications, computing, and avionics markets due to its architecture, which mitigates ASIC migration complexity. The device also includes two integrated Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) for clock conditioning and offers external system performance up to 150 MHz.
