• Integrated low-power Flash*Freeze mode for instantaneous power state transitions.
• Supports bank-selectable I/O voltages for mixed-voltage system compatibility.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic boot times.
• Telecommunications infrastructure interfaces.
• Automotive electronics applications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Microchip distributors or direct channels. Confirm the specific suffix indicates the correct speed grade and temperature rating. Request original manufacturer documentation to validate specifications against current datasheets. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to moisture sensitivity classification.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Compare the 350 MHz speed grade against application timing requirements. Evaluate the 147 I/O count for interface adequacy. Consider the PQFP-208 package constraints for PCB layout. Verify that the 1.2V to 1.5V core voltage aligns with available power rails. Assess thermal performance within the specified industrial temperature range.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3E family, which bridges the gap between standard SRAM FPGAs and ASICs. It offers the reprogrammability of FPGAs with the non-volatility and lower power consumption typical of flash technology. The series is designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring high reliability.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may include other ProASIC3E variants with different speed grades or package options. Cross-family migration to PolarFire or IGLOO2 requires schematic and firmware adaptation due to architectural differences.
