A3P015-QNG68I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P015-QNG68I is a ProASIC3 Flash FPGA featuring 15,000 system gates and 384 VersaTiles. It utilizes a 130-nm flash-based CMOS process for nonvolatile configuration without external boot PROMs. The device supports up to 49 user I/Os across two banks with mixed-voltage operation (1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V). It includes 1 kbit of FlashROM but lacks embedded SRAM and PLLs. Operating at commercial temperatures (0°C to +85°C), it is housed in a QN68 package.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Instant On Level 0 support enables immediate system initialization upon power-up.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture eliminates the need for external configuration memory.
• Integrated AES decryption engine secures intellectual property during remote updates.
• VersaTile core provides flexible logic functions including LUT-3 and D-flip-flops.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Secure remote field upgrades over public networks
• System component initialization before processor wake-up
• Asset management and device serialization

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'I' confirms industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) if required, as standard parts are commercial grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer's current documentation. Check for availability as the A3P015 is not recommended for new designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this part for low-density applications requiring instant-on capabilities and secure configuration storage. Note that A3P015 devices do not support embedded RAM or PLLs; choose higher density models like A3P060 if these features are necessary. Ensure pin compatibility requirements align with the QN68 package dimensions.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context
