A3PN030-Z1QNG48

Overview

The A3PN030-Z1QNG48 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from the ProASIC3 nano series, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 768 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and approximately 30,000 system gates. The device supports up to 71 user I/Os and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V. It is housed in a 48-VQFN package with dimensions of 8 mm x 8 mm and a height of 0.90 mm. The component is rated for an industrial operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V operation
• Integrated True Dual-Port SRAM for data storage and processing applications

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring low power consumption
• Consumer electronics utilizing mixed-voltage interfaces
• Embedded logic replacement in space-constrained designs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z1' against official Microchip documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics, as suffixes often denote package variations or temperature grades. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding the 48-VQFN footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets, as historical Actel products may have varying environmental certifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor FPGA with flash-based non-volatility is required. The 48-pin QFN package suits applications with strict space limitations. Compare gate density and I/O count against similar ProASIC3 nano variants to ensure sufficient resources for the target design complexity while maintaining low power requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, originally developed by Actel before its acquisition by Microsemi and subsequently Microchip. The family is characterized by its flash-based technology, which eliminates the need for external configuration PROMs. This specific model represents a mid-range density option within the nano series, balancing logic capacity with a compact package size.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same series include the A3PN020-QNG48, which offers lower logic density. Verify if higher-density variants like the A3P030-QNG48 are suitable, noting potential differences in performance specifications and power consumption profiles between the nano and standard ProASIC3 lines.
