Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix (e.g., -1) as the base model number may refer to a family. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly process. Check for end-of-life notices or obsolescence announcements from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when nonvolatile configuration and low static power are critical. Ensure the 208-pin PQFP package fits the board layout constraints. Verify that the 250 MHz performance meets the timing requirements of the target application compared to higher-speed variants in the ProASIC3L family.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3L family, which is designed for low-power applications using a 130-nm flash process. It serves as a bridge between standard ASICs and SRAM-based FPGAs, offering reprogrammability with the persistence of flash memory. The L-series specifically targets reduced power consumption through lower voltage support.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other ProASIC3L devices such as the A3P250L or A3P060L, depending on logic density needs. Higher capacity alternatives like the A3P1000L may require design adjustments. Cross-family migration to Fusion or IGLOO series requires schematic and layout review.
