A3P125-VQ100I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3P125-VQ100I is a ProASIC3 Flash Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 125,000 system gates and 71 user I/Os within a 100-pin VQFP package. The device operates on a core supply voltage ranging from 1.425V to 1.575V and supports an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. It includes 36,864 bits of embedded SRAM and achieves maximum clock frequencies up to 350 MHz.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based architecture enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS and LVTTL with bank-selectable voltages.
• Integrated Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) for configurable frequency synthesis and clock management.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic logic processing.
• Automotive electronics operating in extended temperature environments.
• Communication interface bridging and protocol conversion.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C). Confirm the package designation matches the 100-lead Very Thin Quad Flat Package dimensions. Ensure compliance with current RoHS directives as specified in the manufacturer's environmental documentation.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatile configuration and low static power are required. Compare gate counts against the A3PN125 series if embedded RAM is necessary. Verify that the 100-pin VQFP footprint aligns with the target PCB layout constraints and thermal dissipation requirements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and standard SRAM-based FPGAs. It offers lower power consumption and higher security compared to volatile counterparts while maintaining reprogrammability for field updates.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The A3P125-1VQ100I serves as a commercial-grade alternative with a 0°C to 85°C range. The A3PN125-1VQ100I provides equivalent logic density but adds embedded SRAM capabilities.
