1. When considering migrating your design to a lower- or higher-density device, refer to the packaging section of the datasheet to ensure
you are complying with design and board migration requirements.
2. For A3P250L devices, the maximum number of LVPECL pairs in east and west banks cannot exceed 15.
3. ARM Cortex-M1 support is TBD on this device.
4. Each used differential I/O pair reduces the number of single-ended I/Os available by two.
5. FG256 and FG484 are footprint-compatible packages.
6. "G" indicates RoHS-compliant packages. Refer to
"ProASIC3L Ordering Information" on page III
for the location of the "G" in the part
number.
7. For A3PE3000L devices, the usage of certain I/O standards is limited as follows:
– SSTL3(I) and (II): up to 40 I/Os per north or south bank
– LVPECL / GTL+ 3.3 V / GTL 3.3 V: up to 48 I/Os per north or south bank
– SSTL2(I) and (II) / GTL+ 2.5 V/ GTL 2.5 V: up to 72 I/Os per north or south bank
8. When the Flash*Freeze pin is used to directly enable Flash*Freeze mode and not as a regular I/O, the number of single-ended user
I/Os available is reduced by one.
