Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' indicates industrial temperature rating compliance during sourcing. Confirm RoHS status as datasheets may vary by revision. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements and ensure proper handling procedures are followed upon receipt to prevent damage before reflow soldering.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when instant-on capability and radiation tolerance are required compared to volatile FPGA alternatives. Ensure the 256-pin FBGA footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Verify that the 1.14V to 1.575V core voltage range aligns with the available power rails in the target design environment.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3L family, which offers lower power consumption than the standard ProASIC3 series. It shares pin compatibility with other devices in the ProASIC3 family, allowing for design flexibility across different capacity tiers within the same package styles.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other A3P1000 variants with compatible packages, such as A3P1000-1FG256 or M1A3P1000-1FG256I, provided functional differences like embedded processor cores or temperature ranges are acceptable.
