Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Microchip distributors or certified agents. Confirm the specific suffix '2' indicates the designated speed grade and verify RoHS compliance status against current manufacturing notices. Check for any Product Change Notifications regarding assembly sites or material updates prior to procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a mid-range gate count FPGA with integrated flash configuration is required. Ensure the design fits within the 55,296-bit RAM limit and matches the 1.5V core voltage requirements. Compare against the A3P400-PQG208I if a different speed grade is acceptable for the application timing constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component is part of the ProASIC3 family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and standard FPGAs by offering reprogrammability with flash non-volatility. The A3P400 variant represents a specific capacity tier within this series, designed for applications needing moderate logic density with instant-on capabilities.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Consider the A3P400-PQG208I as a potential alternative if the speed grade difference is acceptable, but verify functional equivalence through official datasheets.
