A3PN015-QNG68I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3PN015-QNG68I is a ProASIC3 nano field-programmable gate array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 15,000 system gates and 128 logic elements within a 68-pin VFQFN package with exposed pad. The device operates on a single 1.5V supply voltage ranging from 1.425V to 1.575V. It provides 49 user I/Os and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +100°C junction temperature. The component utilizes flash-based non-volatile technology for instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling instant-on operation without external configuration devices
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O banks compatible with 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V standards
• Integrated input registers and selectable Schmitt trigger inputs for signal integrity

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Low-power portable consumer electronics requiring instant power-up
• Industrial control systems needing simple programmable logic interfaces
• Automotive infotainment and body control modules
• Communication interface adapters and protocol converters

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' indicates industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C TJ). Confirm the package variant matches the 68-VFQFN exposed pad specification. Check RoHS compliance status as manufacturing sites may vary. Ensure ESD handling procedures are followed during assembly due to moisture sensitivity level 3 classification.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when instant-on capability is required without external boot ROMs. Compare against A3PN020 for higher logic density if design margins allow. Verify I/O voltage requirements match the supported 1.5V to 3.3V bank configurations. Consider thermal dissipation limits in the QFN package for high-density designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring low power consumption and small form factors. It bridges the gap between complex FPGAs and fixed-function ASICs, offering reprogrammability with flash reliability. The series emphasizes ease of use and reduced system complexity by eliminating configuration peripherals.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same package include the A3PN010-QNG68I for lower density or A3PN020-QNG68I for increased logic resources. Verify that the replacement part maintains the same voltage domain and I/O drive strength requirements for the target application.
