Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust programmable logic
• Telecommunications interface processing
• Automotive electronics applications

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TQG176C against official Microsemi documentation to confirm package type and speed grade. Ensure compliance with relevant export control classifications and environmental standards prior to integration into final designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 848 CLBs are sufficient for the design complexity. Compare against the A1425A for lower density needs or the RT1460A for ceramic packaging requirements. Confirm that the TQFP footprint matches the target PCB layout constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Microsemi ACT™ 3 FPGA series, designed as a successor to the ACT II family. It offers enhanced performance and density improvements over previous generations while maintaining compatibility with existing design flows and toolsets used for legacy Microsemi programmable logic devices.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The RT1460A-STDCQ196E serves as a functional equivalent with similar gate counts but differs in package type (CQFP vs TQFP) and operating temperature range. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution.
