A3PN030-Z1VQ100I

Overview

The A3PN030-Z1VQ100I is a ProASIC3 Nano field-programmable gate array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 30,000 logic elements and supports up to 71 I/O pins within a 100-pin VQFP package. The device operates on a single 1.5V supply voltage with a range of 1.425V to 1.575V. It achieves maximum clock frequencies of 350 MHz and functions across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +100°C TJ.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based architecture enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.
• Supports high-speed digital signal processing and complex logic applications through dense programmable logic blocks.
• Integrated JTAG boundary scan capability for comprehensive in-system testing and debugging.

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Telecommunications interface modules
• Automotive electronic control units

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix Z1 against official Microchip documentation to confirm the extended temperature rating and speed grade. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 100-VQFP package. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during assembly to prevent damage.

Selection Notes

Select this model when non-volatile storage and low standby power are critical compared to SRAM-based FPGAs. Compare total system cost including external configuration chips against other ProASIC3 variants. Evaluate thermal performance within the -40°C to +100°C operating range for the target environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 Nano family, designed for cost-sensitive, low-power applications requiring small form factors. It serves as a drop-in replacement for older ASICs or CPLDs in embedded systems where reprogrammability is needed after manufacturing.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other A3PN030 variants with different package or temperature codes. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility before replacing with higher-density models like A3PN125 if logic resources are insufficient.
