Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Microchip documentation to ensure correct temperature range and package type. Confirm that the ordering information matches the exact part number requirements for your design specifications before finalizing purchases.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when instant-on functionality is critical and external configuration EEPROMs are undesirable. Ensure the design fits within the 125k gate limit and meets the 200 MHz timing constraints specified for the -2 speed grade.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and standard FPGAs by offering non-volatility and lower power consumption. It serves as a drop-in replacement for many CPLD applications requiring higher density.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other ProASIC3 variants with adjusted gate counts or speed grades. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before considering alternative families.
