Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VQG100I' against official Microsemi documentation to confirm the package type and temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status as older ACT3 variants may not meet current environmental standards. Check for Product Change Notifications (PCN) regarding manufacturing origin or material changes. Ensure the source document explicitly lists this exact part number to avoid confusion with similar ACT3 devices.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when a moderate gate count FPGA with flash-based reprogrammability is required. The ACT3 family offers high reliability and radiation tolerance suitable for harsh environments. Compare pin counts and I/O flexibility against other ACT3 models if different interface requirements exist. Verify that the 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage aligns with the target system design.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This device belongs to the Microsemi ACT3 accelerator series, designed for high-performance programmable logic applications. The ACT3 family is known for its robustness in military and industrial sectors. It serves as a bridge between complex ASICs and simpler PLDs, offering flexibility with deterministic performance characteristics.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the ACT3 family include the A1425A-PQG100I, which shares identical electrical specifications but utilizes a PQFP package instead of VQFP. Other pin-compatible options within the same series should be verified via official datasheets.
