Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'I' confirms the extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C TJ). Confirm the package designation matches the 68-VFQFN form factor. Ensure RoHS compliance status aligns with current manufacturing standards. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official Microchip databases to validate authenticity before procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when instant-on capability is required without external configuration EEPROMs. Choose based on the 15,000 gate count and 49 I/O availability. Verify that the 1.5V nominal supply voltage fits the system power budget. Ensure the 68-pin QFN footprint accommodates the PCB layout constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, designed for low-power, high-density applications. It bridges the gap between complex FPGAs and simple SPLDs. The series emphasizes rapid deployment and reduced system complexity through integrated flash configuration.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other ProASIC3 nano variants such as A3PN010 or A3PN020 if pin counts and gate densities allow. Verify thermal performance and voltage compatibility when cross-referencing with older Actel ProASIC3 models.
