Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

This component is officially discontinued by the manufacturer. Verification of availability should focus on authorized distributors or secondary market suppliers. Buyers must confirm the specific lot date code and physical condition upon receipt. Ensure compliance with export control classifications such as ECCN 3A991D if applicable to the transaction jurisdiction.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this part should consider its discontinuation status for new designs. The ACT3 family offers specific timing characteristics and I/O standards that may require migration strategies. Evaluate alternative modern FPGA families from the same manufacturer for long-term supply stability while maintaining functional compatibility requirements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

The A1425A-PQG160I belongs to the Microsemi ACT3 accelerator series FPGAs. This family was designed to bridge the gap between PLDs and larger FPGAs, offering gate densities up to 10,000 equivalent gates. The ACT3 series is known for its fast clock-to-output times and dedicated clock networks, serving as a predecessor to later ProASIC and IGLOO technologies.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Designers should consult Microsemi's official migration guides for transitioning from the ACT3 family to current ProASIC3 or PolarFire series devices.
