A3P060-1VQG100I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P060-1VQG100I is a ProASIC3 Flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 60,000 system gates and 71 user I/Os within a 100-VQFP package. The device operates on a 1.5 V core voltage with a supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V. It supports a maximum operating frequency of 310 MHz and functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This non-volatile FPGA includes 1 kbit of onboard FlashROM for instant-on configuration without external PROMs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based architecture enabling instant-on operation without external configuration memory
• Integrated 1 kbit FlashROM for secure, on-chip program storage
• Supports ARM Cortex-M1 soft processor integration for embedded control applications

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring instant power-up functionality
• Secure communication interfaces utilizing onboard encryption capabilities
• Embedded systems integrating ARM Cortex-M1 processing cores

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1' indicates the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and speed grade (310 MHz). Confirm the 'VQG100' designation corresponds to the 100-pin Very Thin Quad Flat Package. Ensure compatibility with existing JTAG programming infrastructure for in-system programming.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when non-vatility and instant-on capability are required, eliminating the need for external configuration PROMs. Compare against the A3PN060 variant if lower power consumption is critical, noting that the standard A3P060 offers higher performance speeds. Verify pin compatibility with other ProASIC3 family members if migrating designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 Flash family, representing a mid-density solution bridging the gap between low-end ProASICPLUS devices and high-capacity ProASIC3 XL series. It utilizes a 130-nm process technology. The A3P060 model specifically provides sufficient logic resources for complex digital logic while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The A3PN060-1VQG100I serves as a direct pin-compatible alternative offering reduced power consumption, though it may have different timing characteristics. For legacy support, verify if older Actel-branded parts require firmware updates or toolchain adjustments.
