A3P060-1VQ100

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P060-1VQ100 is a ProASIC3 Flash FPGA from Microchip Technology, featuring 700 logic elements and 18 kbit of embedded memory. It supports up to 71 I/Os with mixed-voltage operation ranging from 1.425 V to 1.575 V for core supply. The device operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +85°C and utilizes a VQFP-100 surface-mount package. It includes 1 kbit of on-chip nonvolatile FlashROM for instant-start configuration without external PROMs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Instant-start capability via integrated nonvolatile FlashROM eliminates the need for external configuration devices.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, and PCI/PCI-X across selectable banks.
• Includes configurable phase-shift, multiply/divide, and delay capabilities through an integrated PLL.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• JTAG protocol conversion in debug adapter hardware designs
• Low-density system gate implementations requiring secure boot
• Industrial control interfaces with mixed-voltage signaling requirements

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1' indicates the commercial temperature grade (0°C to +85°C) distinct from the industrial variant 'I'. Confirm the package designation matches the VQFP-100 footprint. Ensure authenticity through authorized Microchip distributors to avoid counterfeit flash programming issues.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model for applications needing instant-on functionality and moderate logic density. Compare against the AGL060 series if lower power consumption is critical, noting the AGL060 lacks embedded RAM. Verify I/O voltage compatibility with the target system's 1.5V to 3.3V levels.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 family, which bridges the gap between ASIC cost and FPGA flexibility. It offers reprogrammability with ASIC-level unit costs and supports soft ARM Cortex-M1 processor integration in specific variants within the broader series.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The A3P060-VQG100I serves as the industrial temperature grade equivalent. For pin-compatible upgrades, consider the A3P125 series for higher logic capacity while maintaining the same package interface.
