Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'FG144I' against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and industrial temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with legacy Actel design tools if migrating from older ProASIC3 variants. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatile configuration and low static power consumption are required. Compare gate density and I/O count against AGL250V2 series for newer technology nodes. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements for the FBGA-144 package in enclosed enclosures.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 family, bridging ASIC costs and FPGA flexibility. It succeeded earlier Actel flash FPGA designs. The A3P250 variant offers mid-range capacity suitable for complex logic functions without the overhead of volatile SRAM FPGAs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

M1A3P250-FG144Y is a verified equivalent part number from the Microsemi era. Check pinout compatibility and software toolchain support before substitution. No other direct cross-model replacements are confirmed in public documentation.
