A3P060-1VQ100I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P060-1VQ100I is a ProASIC3 Flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 700 logic elements and 18 kbit of embedded SRAM within a 100-pin VQFP package. The device operates on a 1.5V core voltage with an input/output range of 1.425V to 1.575V. It supports a maximum operating frequency of 350 MHz and includes 71 user I/Os. The component is rated for industrial temperatures from 0°C to +85°C and contains 1 kbit of onboard nonvolatile FlashROM.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Nonvolatile flash-based architecture enabling instant-on operation without external configuration PROMs.
• Integrated single Clock Control Cube (CCC) block featuring a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) for clock management.
• Support for mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, and PCI/PCI-X compatibility.
• Onboard security mechanisms designed to protect programming information and enable secure remote updates.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic boot-up times.
• Automotive electronics utilizing CAN bus interfaces.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment.
• Medical instrumentation devices.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1' indicates the speed grade corresponding to the 350 MHz maximum operating frequency. Confirm that the 'I' suffix denotes the extended industrial temperature range of 0°C to +85°C. Ensure the 100-VQFP package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when immediate system startup is required due to its nonvolatile flash technology. Choose this part over SRAM-based FPGAs if external configuration memory must be eliminated to reduce board space. Consider the 700 LE density for moderate complexity logic designs requiring low power consumption during active operation.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 family, which bridges the gap between ASIC costs and FPGA flexibility. Unlike traditional SRAM FPGAs, it retains configuration data without power. The A3P060 variant offers a balance of logic capacity and I/O count suitable for mid-range embedded applications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other members of the A3P060 series such as the A3P060-VQG100 or A3PN060 variants, provided their speed grades and temperature ratings meet the design specifications.
