A3PN030-Z2VQG100I

Overview

The A3PN030-Z2VQG100I 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 130nm flash-based CMOS process, enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture retains programmed designs when powered off
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O operation across 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V banks
• Includes Configurable Clock Conditioning Circuitry (CCC) with integrated PLL capabilities

Applications

• Instant-on embedded control systems
• Mixed-voltage interface bridging
• Low-power programmable logic applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z2' against official Microchip documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics, as standard variants typically use 'VQ'. Ensure the component meets RoHS3 compliance requirements for your assembly process. Confirm availability through authorized distributors given potential lifecycle status variations.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring immediate system startup without boot time delays associated with SRAM-based FPGAs. The 100-pin VQFP package offers a compact surface-mount solution for space-constrained designs. Consider the 30k gate count for moderate complexity logic implementations requiring low static power consumption.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and high-end FPGAs. It provides a single-chip solution combining flash memory technology with FPGA flexibility. The family is designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring reprogrammability and robust security features like FlashLock.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other ProASIC3 nano devices such as A3PN060 or A3PN020, subject to resource availability. Verify that the substitute part number matches the required gate count and I/O specifications for the target design.
