A3PN030-ZQNG68I

Overview

The A3PN030-ZQNG68I is a ProASIC3 nano Flash Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 30,000 system gates and 768 configurable logic blocks (CLBs). The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.425V to 1.575V and supports up to 71 user I/Os. It is housed in a 68-VFQFN package with exposed pads, measuring 8x8 mm. The component supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVTTL and LVCMOS at 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, and 1.5V. It includes up to 36 kbits of True Dual-Port SRAM and operates across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 100°C junction temperature.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O banks allowing operation with multiple voltage levels on a single chip.
• Integrated True Dual-Port SRAM for high-performance data buffering and processing.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring low power consumption and rapid startup.
• Telecommunications interface circuits utilizing mixed-voltage signaling standards.
• Embedded logic acceleration in consumer electronics with space-constrained designs.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z' against official Microchip documentation to confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free soldering specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package variant and temperature grade required for the target application environment. Cross-reference with the latest datasheet revision to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact FPGA solution with instant-on capability and mixed-voltage I/O support is required. Compare gate density and I/O count against alternative ProASIC3 nano variants to ensure sufficient resources for the design. Verify that the 68-pin QFN package fits the available PCB footprint and thermal management constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 nano family, which bridges the gap between standard ASICs and larger FPGAs. The series is characterized by its flash technology, eliminating the need for boot ROMs. The A3PN030 variant specifically targets applications needing moderate logic density with low static power consumption.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include the A3PN020-QNG68I for lower gate counts or the A3PN250 series for higher capacity. When replacing, verify that the pinout remains identical for the 68-pin QFN package and that the new part supports the required I/O voltage levels.
