A3PN030-Z2QNG68

Overview

The A3PN030-Z2QNG68 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the ProASIC3 nano series, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 768 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and approximately 30,000 system gates. The device operates with a core supply voltage range of 1.425V to 1.575V and supports mixed-voltage I/O banks at 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V. It is housed in a 68-pin Very Thin Quad Flat No-lead (VFQFN) package with exposed pad, measuring 8mm x 8mm. The component is rated for an industrial operating temperature range from -40°C to +100°C junction temperature.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture providing instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVTTL and LVCMOS across multiple voltage banks.
• Integrated True Dual-Port SRAM blocks for data storage and processing applications.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring low power consumption and rapid startup.
• Embedded logic replacement in consumer electronics and white goods.
• Signal processing interfaces in automotive and instrumentation environments.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z2' against official Microchip documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and commercial/industrial classification, as suffix variations can indicate distinct environmental ratings or manufacturing revisions. Ensure compatibility with the required I/O voltage levels and package dimensions during sourcing.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact FPGA solution with instant-on capability and mixed-voltage I/O flexibility is required. Compare gate counts and I/O availability against similar ProASIC3 nano variants like the A3PN020 or A3PN060 to ensure sufficient logic resources for the target design complexity.

Part Context

This component is part of the ProASIC3 nano family, which bridges the gap between complex CPLDs and high-end FPGAs. The series is characterized by its flash-based technology, eliminating the need for boot configuration devices and reducing overall system bill of materials.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package may include other members of the ProASIC3 nano family such as the A3PN020 or A3PN060, provided logic resource requirements are met. Verify that any substitute maintains the necessary I/O count and voltage support.
