Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity and datasheet alignment when sourcing this part. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required speed grade and package type. Check for RoHS compliance status, as some variants may contain lead. Ensure the supplier provides valid documentation for this obsolete component to guarantee compatibility with existing designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this FPGA for applications requiring moderate gate density and high-speed performance in a through-hole package. Consider the ACT3 series architecture for its automated design flow and predictable timing. Evaluate the 228 I/O count against interface requirements. Compare against newer families if power consumption or pin count limits are critical constraints for the target system.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Microsemi ACT3 family of embedded FPGAs. These devices are known for their use of SRAM-based technology and high-density logic blocks. The ACT3 series was widely used for prototyping and mid-volume production before being superseded by more advanced architectures offering lower power and higher integration levels.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available for this obsolete component. Designers should evaluate migration paths to current Microsemi or third-party FPGA families with similar gate counts and I/O configurations.
