• Automotive electronics subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-20°C to +85°C). Confirm the 100-VQFP package dimensions match the design footprint. Check RoHS compliance status against current regulatory requirements. Ensure ESD handling procedures are followed during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 3000 LEs and 36 kbit memory are sufficient. Choose the VQG100 package for surface-mount compatibility. Verify the 350 MHz speed grade meets timing constraints. Consider the industrial temperature range if ambient conditions exceed commercial limits.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, offering a balance of performance and power efficiency. It serves as a non-volatile FPGA solution, eliminating the need for external configuration memory. The series targets cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate logic density.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other ProASIC3 nano variants like A3PN125 or A3PN060 if lower logic counts suffice. Cross-reference pinouts for package compatibility. Verify electrical parameters such as voltage and speed grades before substitution.
