A3PN030-ZQNG68

Overview

The A3PN030-ZQNG68 is a ProASIC3 nano Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 768 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and approximately 30,000 system gates. The device operates on a single 1.5 V supply voltage with a specified range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V. It supports mixed-voltage I/O banks at 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V levels. The component is housed in a 68-pin Very Thin Quad Flat No-lead (VFQFN) package measuring 8 mm x 8 mm with a 0.40 mm pitch. It offers an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

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

Applications

• Low-power portable electronic devices requiring instant power-up.
• Industrial control systems utilizing mixed-voltage signal interfaces.
• Consumer electronics integrating simple logic functions with low standby current.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ZQNG68 against official Microchip documentation to confirm package dimensions and thermal characteristics. Ensure compatibility with design tools supporting the ProASIC3 nano family. Check for RoHS compliance status as manufacturing updates may affect environmental declarations. Confirm lead times directly with authorized distributors as availability varies.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring non-volatile FPGA logic with low power consumption. Compare gate counts and I/O availability against similar ProASIC3 nano variants like the A3PN015 or A3PN020 if resource optimization is needed. Verify that the 68-pin VFQFN package fits the PCB footprint constraints. Ensure the design tool suite supports the target device generation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 nano family, which utilizes Flash technology for non-volatile configuration. The series is designed for cost-sensitive and power-constrained applications. It serves as a successor to earlier Actel FlashFusion products, offering improved performance and lower power consumption while maintaining instant-on capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package are limited to other A3PN030 variants with different suffixes indicating temperature or speed grades. Cross-family migration to ProASIC3 or IGLOO devices requires schematic and layout redesign due to architectural differences.
