Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' indicates the commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C) rather than industrial (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm package integrity upon receipt as moisture sensitivity requires proper handling. Check for end-of-life status or obsolescence notices from Microchip before finalizing procurement plans.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when high gate density is required alongside immediate boot capabilities. Compare against the M1A3PE3000L series if lower power consumption or wider voltage ranges are critical. Ensure the 896-ball FBGA footprint fits the target PCB layout constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3E family, bridging the gap between ASIC performance and FPGA flexibility. It utilizes a 130-nm flash process technology. The part serves as a direct upgrade path for legacy Actel designs migrated to Microchip's portfolio.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The M1A3PE3000L-1FGG896I offers similar capacity but differs in power specifications and temperature rating. Verify pin compatibility and voltage levels before substitution.
