A3PN030-Z1VQ100

Overview

The A3PN030-Z1VQ100 is a ProASIC3 nano Flash Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 30,000 system gates and supports up to 77 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 is rated for an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C TJ. It utilizes a 130-nm flash-based CMOS process, providing non-volatile configuration retention without external memory.

Feature Summary

• Instant-on capability due to non-volatile flash technology that retains programmed designs when powered off
• Support for mixed-voltage I/O operation including 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V standards with bank-selectable voltages
• Integrated Clock Conditioning Circuit (CCC) blocks with configurable phase shift and PLL capabilities

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring instant-on functionality
• Automotive electronics operating in extended temperature environments
• Secure communication interfaces utilizing JTAG-based encryption

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z1' against official Microchip documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and package variant, as suffixes define environmental and mechanical specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding the 100-VQFP footprint and thermal requirements for the -40°C to +100°C operating range.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications needing low gate count logic with immediate power-up readiness. Compare against the standard A3P030 series if commercial temperature grades suffice, or consider higher-density ProASIC3 models for increased logic resources. Verify I/O voltage levels match the target system's interface requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, designed for low-power, high-performance embedded logic. It bridges the gap between simple PLDs and complex FPGAs, offering flash-based reprogrammability. The nano series specifically targets cost-sensitive and power-constrained applications while maintaining robust security features.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the ProASIC3 family include other A3PN030 variants with different package or temperature codes. For legacy Actel parts, cross-reference with the Microsemi/Actel migration guide for equivalent logic density and I/O configurations.
