Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1' indicates the speed grade and '-I' denotes the industrial temperature range during procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status as documentation may vary by production batch. Check for end-of-life notifications or discontinuation notices from Microchip Technology prior to ordering. Ensure the FBGA-896 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements exactly.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when high gate density and non-volatile configuration are required in a large pin-count package. Compare against the M1A3PE3000 variant if an integrated ARM Cortex-M1 processor is necessary for the application. Verify that the 231 MHz performance meets the timing constraints of the target digital logic design. Consider the 620 I/O count to ensure sufficient connectivity for the interface requirements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3E family of Flash FPGAs. It succeeds earlier Actel flash FPGA technologies acquired by Microchip. The part number structure follows the convention: Series (A3PE) + Capacity (3000) + Speed Grade (1) + Package (FGG896) + Temperature (-I). It represents a high-density solution within the legacy ProASIC3 portfolio.
