Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1' indicates the commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C) rather than the industrial grade (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the package type is FBGA-484. Check current production status as legacy ProASIC3 models may have discontinuation notices. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts for the 484-ball footprint.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a moderate gate count with 280 I/Os is required in a compact 484-ball package. Compare against the M1A3PE1500 series if ARM Cortex-M1 processor integration is necessary. Verify that the commercial temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the target application. Consider power consumption differences between flash-based ProASIC3E and other FPGA technologies.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3E family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and standard FPGAs. It offers lower power consumption and smaller form factors compared to SRAM-based FPGAs. The A3PE1500 variant provides 1.5 million system gates, making it suitable for mid-range logic density applications requiring non-volatility.
