Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' against official Microsemi documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status as older ACT3 variants may not meet current environmental standards. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle status updates from the manufacturer before procurement planning.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when a moderate logic density of approximately 1500 gates is required with a 100-pin footprint. Compare against the A1415A-1PQG100I if industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) is necessary instead of commercial range. Ensure the 5V core voltage aligns with system power design constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Microsemi ACT3 FPGA family, known for its SRAM-based technology and fast time-to-market capabilities. It serves as a bridge between complex ASICs and simple PLDs, offering reprogrammability for prototyping and final production in various embedded applications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same ACT3 family include the A1415A-1PQG100I for industrial temperature grades. Verify electrical specifications and speed grades match the original design requirements before substitution.
