Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'FGG' against official datasheets to confirm package details and temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as documentation indicates detailed verification is required. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability for this programmable logic component.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 1.5 million system gates and 280 I/Os are required in a 484-pin FBGA form factor. Choose the '-1' speed grade if a maximum operating frequency of 272 MHz meets design timing constraints. Verify that the application environment remains within the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range specified for this variant.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3E family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and traditional FPGAs by offering non-volatile configuration. The A3PE1500 series specifically targets high-density applications needing rapid time-to-market. It utilizes flash-based technology, eliminating the need for external configuration memory commonly found in volatile FPGA architectures.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The M1A3PE1500-FG484I serves as a functional substitute within the same family, offering similar gate counts but including an embedded ARM Cortex-M1 processor. Verify pin compatibility and thermal requirements before substitution.
