Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Microchip documentation to confirm temperature range and package variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status as legacy Actel products may have varying environmental declarations. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes before finalizing procurement plans.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatile configuration and low static power are critical requirements. Ensure the design utilizes the supported 1.2V to 1.5V voltage ranges. Verify that the 208-pin PQFP footprint matches the PCB layout constraints and thermal dissipation needs of the target application.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3L family, which bridges the gap between ASIC costs and SRAM FPGA flexibility. It utilizes a 130-nm CMOS process. The 'L' designation indicates low-power optimization compared to standard ProASIC3 devices. It serves as a drop-in replacement for many older Actel flash FPGA designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family include the A3P3000L-PQG208I for industrial temperature grades. Cross-family migration to PolarFire or IGloo2 requires significant schematic and software redesign due to architectural differences.
