A3P060-2VQ100

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P060-2VQ100 is a ProASIC3 Flash FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology, housed in a VQFP-100 surface-mount package. It provides 660 logic elements and supports up to 71 user I/Os. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V, with a nominal operating voltage of 1.5 V. It features a maximum operating frequency of 350 MHz and functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. This non-volatile flash-based architecture eliminates the need for external configuration memory.

• Support for mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS and LVTTL levels
• On-chip 1 kbit FlashROM for secure user data storage

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• JTAG boundary scan test implementations
• Low-power embedded system controllers
• Industrial communication protocol bridges
• Secure boot logic replacement

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '2' indicates the speed grade corresponding to the 350 MHz maximum frequency. Confirm the 'I' designation for industrial temperature range if required by your design specifications. Ensure the VQFP-100 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Check current availability status as production cycles may vary.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when instant-on capability is critical to remove external configuration chips. Compare against SRAM-based FPGAs for lower static power consumption. Consider the 660 LE density for simple logic applications before moving to higher-density ProASIC3 models. Verify I/O voltage compatibility with connected peripherals.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 family, which utilizes 130-nm flash CMOS process technology. It offers pin-compatible packages across the series, allowing design scalability. The family supports optional soft ARM processor integration in specific variants, though this standard model focuses on pure logic implementation.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The A3P060-VQG100I serves as a pin-compatible alternative within the same family. Higher density options like the A3P1000 provide more logic resources while maintaining package compatibility. Verify that any substitute maintains the required 350 MHz performance level.
