A3P060-QNG132

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P060-QNG132 is a ProASIC3 Flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microsemi. It features 60,000 system gates and 18 kbits of embedded SRAM within a QN132 Quad Flat Pack No Leads package. The device supports up to 96 user I/Os and operates on a 1.5 V core voltage with a range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V. It includes one integrated Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) and 1 kbit of nonvolatile FlashROM. Operating temperatures range from 0°C to +85°C for commercial grade.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Nonvolatile flash technology enables instant-on functionality without external boot PROMs.
• Integrated security mechanisms including FlashLock and AES decryption protect intellectual property.
• VersaTile architecture provides high logic density with flexible routing resources.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS and LVTTL.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Secure remote in-system programming applications
• Low-power single-chip solutions requiring instant-on capability
• Systems needing onboard nonvolatile memory for calibration or serialization

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type, temperature range, and security license inclusion. Ensure design tools support the ProASIC3 family as newer architectures may have different compatibility requirements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this device for designs requiring moderate logic density with nonvolatile configuration storage. Compare against A3P030 if lower gate counts suffice, or A3P125 for higher capacity. Verify that the QN132 package dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Microsemi ProASIC3 Flash FPGA family, which bridges the gap between ASIC costs and FPGA flexibility. It utilizes a 130-nm process and offers reprogrammability with the security benefits of flash memory, distinguishing it from volatile SRAM-based FPGAs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements exist within the ProASIC3 family such as A3P060-VQ100 or A3P060-TQ144, provided the package footprint matches. For migration to higher performance, consult the ProASIC3E datasheet.
