A3P060-2VQG100I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P060-2VQG100I is a ProASIC3 Flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 700 logic elements and 60,000 system gates within a 100-pin VQFP package. The device operates with a core voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and supports up to 71 user I/Os. It achieves a maximum operating frequency of 310 MHz and includes an integrated Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) for clock management. The component functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash technology enables instant power-up operation without external configuration memory.
• Integrated PLL provides flexible clock generation and phase-shift capabilities.
• Supports ARM Cortex-M1 soft processor integration for embedded control applications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring secure boot
• Telecommunications interface modules
• Embedded systems with mixed-signal I/O requirements

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the 'VQG100' designation matches the required 100-pin VQFP package dimensions. Ensure the design accounts for the non-volatile nature of the flash architecture during programming cycles.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when immediate startup functionality is critical to eliminate external PROM dependencies. Compare against the A3PN060 series if lower power consumption is prioritized over the standard ProASIC3 feature set. Verify that the 71 available I/Os meet the interface count requirements for the target application.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 family, which bridges the gap between ASIC costs and FPGA flexibility. Unlike SRAM-based FPGAs, this device retains its configuration data when powered off, offering a single-chip solution for security-sensitive designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The A3PN060-2VQ100I serves as a low-power alternative within the same package. For higher density needs, consider the A3P125 or A3P250 series, though pin compatibility may vary across different package types within the family.
