• Automotive electronic control units

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Confirm the package type matches the 208-pin PQFP footprint. Check current availability status as this series may be subject to discontinuation notices. Ensure EDA models are compatible with current design tools.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a combined FPGA and embedded processor solution is required. Compare against standard A3PE3000 variants if the Cortex-M1 core is unnecessary. Verify pin count requirements fit within the 147 available I/Os. Consider thermal management for the 208-BFQFP package in enclosed designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and traditional FPGAs. It utilizes flash technology for non-volatile storage. The inclusion of the ARM Cortex-M1 distinguishes it from basic logic-only devices in the same gate count category.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other ProASIC3 parts with similar gate counts. Verify pin compatibility before replacing with different package options. Check for updated versions within the ProASIC3L or M1A3PE series.
