Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1' against official Microchip documentation to confirm voltage or speed grade variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status and current production lifecycle stage prior to procurement. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed during storage and assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 250k gate capacity and 36 kbit RAM are required in a 100-pin form factor. Compare against the standard A3PN250 variant if specific voltage or thermal characteristics denoted by the suffix are necessary. Verify pin compatibility with existing PCB layouts designed for the VQFP-100 package.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, which utilizes a 130-nm flash process technology. The series is characterized by low power consumption and reprogrammability. It serves as a bridge between complex ASICs and larger FPGAs, offering flexibility for mid-range logic applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family include A3PN250-VQG100I. Verify functional equivalence regarding the specific '1' suffix parameters before substitution. Cross-reference with A3P250 variants only if voltage levels and performance metrics align with design requirements.
