Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete or discontinued by the manufacturer. Verification of availability should focus on surplus distributors or secondary market sources rather than direct manufacturing channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as this specific part may not meet current environmental standards. Ensure package integrity and pin alignment when sourcing from non-original suppliers.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this part only if legacy compatibility with the ACT™ 3 series is required. Consider the 256-BFCQFP footprint constraints and 5V operating voltage during system design. Evaluate alternative modern FPGAs if new production is intended, given the discontinued status. Verify that the 228 I/O count meets interface requirements without necessitating additional buffer components.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

The A14100A-1CQ256M belongs to the ACT™ 3 family of FPGAs from Microsemi. This series is characterized by its unique architecture offering flexibility and performance. The model represents a mid-range density option within the family, balancing gate count with I/O availability for complex digital designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available due to the discontinued status. Review Microsemi's successor families for functional equivalents. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical specifications carefully when considering third-party compatible devices.
