Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be subject to obsolescence notices. Confirm specific suffix requirements against current datasheets to ensure compatibility with existing design specifications and manufacturing processes.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a mid-range gate count FPGA with integrated flash configuration is required. Ensure the 208-pin footprint fits the PCB layout constraints and that the 1.5V core voltage aligns with the system power architecture.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and standard FPGAs by offering non-volatile flash configuration. It is designed for applications demanding high reliability and reduced system complexity compared to volatile SRAM-based counterparts.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible upgrades within the ProASIC3 family, such as the A3P600 or A3PE1500, if higher logic density is needed. Verify that any substitute maintains the same PQFP-208 package and voltage specifications.
