Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Microchip Technology distributors or certified suppliers. Confirm package integrity and pin alignment upon receipt. Check datasheets for specific RoHS compliance status as older ACT3 variants may not meet current environmental standards. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level requirements before soldering.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring moderate logic density with high-speed performance up to 110 MHz. The PQFP208 package suits applications needing robust surface-mount connectivity without BGA complexity. Consider the ACT3 series benefits for designs prioritizing deterministic timing and ease of implementation over ultra-high-density requirements found in modern FPGAs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Microsemi ACT3 FPGA family, known for its reliability in embedded logic applications. The ACT3 series bridges the gap between complex PLDs and larger FPGAs, offering a balance of speed, density, and design simplicity. It is widely used in legacy and new industrial designs requiring proven silicon technology.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other ACT3 devices like the A1440A or A1415A, depending on I/O and logic needs. For higher density, consider ProASIC3 or Axcelerator families, though pinouts and voltages differ. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints and power supplies when substituting.
