Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to 100°C) against the official datasheet. Confirm the 208-BFQFP package dimensions match the design footprint. Check for any Product Change Notifications regarding assembly sites or material composition updates before finalizing procurement plans.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this part when a mid-density FPGA solution with integrated flash configuration is required. Ensure the design fits within the 400,000 gate limit and 55,296-bit RAM capacity. Verify that the 1.5V core voltage requirement aligns with the system power budget and I/O interface compatibility.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and standard FPGAs by offering low power consumption and instant-on capabilities. The A3P400 variant represents a specific density tier within this series, designed for applications needing moderate logic resources with robust configurability.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other ProASIC3 devices with similar gate counts and pinouts, such as the A3P060 or A3P250 if lower density is acceptable. For higher performance needs, consider the A3PE series. Always verify electrical compatibility and pin assignments before substitution.
