A3P030-QNG48

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P030-QNG48 is a Field Programmable Gate Array belonging to the ProASIC3 Flash family, manufactured by Microsemi (now Microchip Technology). It features 768 Configurable Logic Blocks and approximately 30,000 system gates. The device operates with a core voltage of 1.5 V and supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V. It utilizes a 130-nm flash-based CMOS process with six copper metal layers. The component provides instant-on capability by retaining programmed designs when powered off. It includes up to 144 Kbits of true dual-port SRAM and supports JESD8-B compliant wide-range power supply voltages for I/Os operating from 2.7 V to 3.6 V.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Reprogrammable non-volatile flash technology enabling instant-on operation without external configuration memory
• Advanced I/O flexibility supporting mixed-voltage banks and high-speed DDR interfaces
• Integrated security features including FlashLock and AES decryption support for in-system programming

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Instant-on embedded control systems requiring immediate operational readiness upon power-up
• Low-power portable devices utilizing single-chip FPGA solutions
• Industrial applications requiring secure in-system programming via JTAG

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as Microsemi was acquired by Microchip Technology. Confirm that the specific suffix QNG48 corresponds to the QFN-48 package variant with industrial temperature range if required. Ensure compatibility with legacy Microsemi design tools or current Microchip Libero SoC software for implementation.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring moderate logic density around 30,000 gates with non-vatile configuration retention. Compare against the A3P030-VQG100 if higher pin counts are needed, or consider the A3P030-QN48IY for alternative QFP packaging options within the same logic family.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component is part of the ProASIC3 Flash family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and traditional SRAM-based FPGAs. The family offers low power consumption and high reliability due to its flash-based architecture. It is designed for cost-sensitive applications where board space savings from eliminating configuration EEPROMs are critical.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the ProASIC3 family include the A3P030-QN48IY and A3P030-QN48I. Verify that any substitute maintains the same logic capacity and I/O voltage requirements.
