Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as this part may be listed under Actel or Microchip Technology due to corporate acquisitions. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as records indicate variations between compliant and non-compliant versions for similar part numbers in the ProASIC3 series. Ensure the package type matches the required FBGA-324 specification for your design.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a mid-range FPGA with 3 million gates is required. Compare against the M1A3PE3000 variant if embedded ARM Cortex-M1 processing is needed. Verify that the 350 MHz performance meets timing requirements. Check alternative packages like PQFP-208 if pin count allows for reduced footprint.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 family, designed for power-efficient applications. It bridges the gap between CPLDs and larger FPGAs. The family is known for non-volatile flash technology, offering instant-on capability and higher security compared to SRAM-based FPGAs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the M1A3PE3000-FG324 for integrated processor variants. For pin-compatible alternatives without the processor, consider other ProASIC3 devices with similar gate counts. Verify package compatibility before substitution.
