Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature range specification during acquisition. Confirm the package designation matches the required 144-pin FPBGA form factor for PCB layout compatibility. Ensure the design utilizes the correct voltage domain constraints defined in the datasheet.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-volatile FPGA solution is required to eliminate external configuration flash devices. Compare against the A3P250-VQG100I if a smaller pin count or different package type is acceptable. Verify that the 97 available I/O pins meet the interface requirements of the target application.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 Flash family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and traditional volatile FPGAs. It offers high density with low power consumption compared to SRAM-based counterparts. The series is designed for applications where code security and instant-on functionality are critical priorities.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The M1A3P250-FFGG144I serves as a direct predecessor from Actel. Both share identical gate counts and pinouts. Verify that the older Actel version meets current environmental compliance standards before substitution.
