Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' against official Microchip documentation to confirm tray packaging requirements. Ensure the voltage grade '1' matches the target thermal environment. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets before finalizing procurement orders.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when non-vatility and low power consumption are critical compared to SRAM FPGAs. Consider the 100-pin VQFP package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate if the 272 MHz speed grade meets timing requirements for the intended digital design complexity.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and standard FPGAs. It offers high density in small packages with inherent security features due to its flash technology. The family includes variants with embedded ARM processors for complex system-on-chip designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible alternatives within the ProASIC3 family such as A3P250 or A3P400. Verify that any substitute maintains the same voltage and temperature ratings. Consult Microchip PCNs for potential obsolescence or form-fit-function changes in successor devices.
