A3P030-2VQ100

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P030-2VQ100 is a ProASIC3 Flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 330 logic elements and supports up to 77 user I/Os within a 100-pin VQFP package. The device operates on a single 1.5 V supply voltage, with an acceptable range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V. It delivers a maximum operating frequency of 231 MHz and functions reliably across commercial temperatures from 0°C to +85°C. This non-volatile FPGA utilizes flash technology for instant-on capabilities.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based architecture providing instant power-up functionality without external configuration memory.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V for flexible system interfacing.
• Includes IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary scan test capability for enhanced manufacturing and in-system testing.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring low-power programmable logic.
• Consumer electronics utilizing mixed-voltage interface requirements.
• Automotive infotainment and body control modules operating in commercial temperature ranges.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '2' against official Microchip documentation to confirm the industrial or extended temperature grade, as standard A3P030 variants often denote commercial grades. Confirm the 100-VQFP package availability and ensure ESD handling protocols are followed during procurement and storage due to moisture sensitivity classification.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when a small-scale, non-volatile FPGA solution is required for simple logic replacement or glue logic applications. Compare against the A3P030-VQG100 if a QFN package is preferred over VQFP. Ensure the design does not require embedded memory blocks, as this device lacks internal RAM resources.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 family, which bridges the gap between complex FPGAs and simple PLDs. The series is characterized by its flash-based process, eliminating the need for boot configuration devices common in SRAM-based FPGAs. It serves as a drop-in replacement for many legacy CPLD designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible alternatives within the same ProASIC3 family, such as the A3P060 or A3P015, depending on logic density needs. Verify that any substitute maintains the 100-VQFP footprint and matches the 1.5 V core voltage requirements.
