  • Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low static power (vs A3P1000-FG256M)
  • Lower core voltage (1.2V-1.5V) reduces dynamic power (vs A3P1000-FG256M)
  • Instant-on capability due to nonvolatile flash configuration (vs SRAM-based FPGAs)

Design Notes

The A3P1000L-FG256 requires a 1.2V to 1.5V core supply and separate I/O supplies. Use low-ESR ceramic capacitors (0.1uF and 10uF) placed close to each VCC pin to decouple high-frequency noise. For the core supply, a 1.0A LDO or DC-DC converter is recommended, depending on the design's power budget. Ensure the power supply can handle the inrush current during configuration.

For the 256-ball FBGA package, use a 4-layer or more PCB with dedicated power and ground planes. Route high-speed signals with controlled impedance (e.g., 50 ohm single-ended, 100 ohm differential). Place decoupling capacitors on the bottom side of the PCB, directly under the FPGA, to minimize inductance. Follow the manufacturer's layout guidelines for the FBGA package to ensure reliable solder joints.

The A3P1000L-FG256 has a maximum junction temperature of 125C. For typical designs with moderate logic utilization, the power dissipation is low due to the 1.2V core voltage. However, if the design uses many I/Os or high toggle rates, consider adding thermal vias under the FPGA to improve heat dissipation. The FBGA package has a thermal resistance (theta_JA) of approximately 20-30 C/W, so a heatsink may be needed for high-power designs.
