Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1' indicates the commercial temperature grade and speed bin. Confirm RoHS compliance status as documentation varies. Check for End-of-Life notifications or discontinuation notices prior to finalizing procurement plans to ensure long-term supply availability.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when a large gate count with integrated non-volatile storage is required. Compare against the M1A3PE3000 series if embedded ARM Cortex-M1 processing is necessary. Ensure the FBGA-896 footprint aligns with the target PCB layout constraints and thermal management requirements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3E family, which bridges the gap between standard ASICs and SRAM-based FPGAs. It offers the reprogrammability of FPGAs with the power efficiency and instant-on capability of flash technology, targeting applications where security and low standby power are critical design parameters.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include the A3PE3000-1FFG896I variant. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 1.5V core voltage requirements and FBGA-896 package dimensions to ensure mechanical compatibility.
