A3PN030-ZVQ100

Overview

The A3PN030-ZVQ100 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from the ProASIC3 nano series manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 77 user I/Os and 30,000 system gates within a 100-TQFP package. The device operates on a core supply voltage ranging from 1.425V to 1.575V and supports an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C TJ. It utilizes reprogrammable flash technology for non-volatile configuration retention.

Feature Summary

• Reprogrammable Flash Technology: Utilizes a 130-nm CMOS process to retain programmed designs when powered off, supporting instant-on applications without external configuration memory.
• Advanced I/O Flexibility: Supports mixed-voltage operation including 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V standards with bank-selectable I/O voltages and programmable slew rates.
• Clock Conditioning Circuitry: Includes up to six CCC blocks with integrated PLL capabilities for configurable phase shift, multiply/divide functions, and wide input frequency ranges.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring instant-on functionality
• Mixed-voltage interface logic in embedded controllers
• Low-power portable electronic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z' against official Microchip documentation to confirm environmental compliance status, as some ProASIC3 nano variants may not meet RoHS directives. Confirm the operating temperature grade matches the 'I' designation for industrial range (-40°C to +100°C). Ensure the 100-TQFP package dimensions align with PCB footprint requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when non-vatile configuration and low power consumption are prioritized over high-speed transceiver capabilities. Compare gate density and I/O count against the standard A3P030 series if higher performance or different voltage levels are required. Verify that the 100-pin TQFP package fits the mechanical constraints of the target design.

Part Context

The A3PN030 belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and traditional SRAM-based FPGAs by offering flash-based non-volatility. This series is designed for cost-sensitive, low-power applications where instant-on capability reduces system complexity by eliminating external configuration chips.

Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible upgrades within the ProASIC3 nano family, such as the A3PN060 or A3PN125, if additional logic resources are needed. Standard A3P030 variants offer similar I/O counts but differ in architecture and voltage support; verify compatibility carefully.
