A3PN030-ZVQ100I

Overview

The A3PN030-ZVQ100I is a ProASIC3 nano series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 77 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). This flash-based FPGA utilizes a 130-nm process technology, providing instant-on capabilities without external configuration memory.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling instant-on functionality and retention of programmed designs when powered off.
• Support for mixed-voltage I/O operation across 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V standards with bank-selectable voltages.
• Integrated Clock Conditioning Circuit (CCC) blocks featuring Phase-Locked Loops (PLL) for configurable phase shift and frequency multiplication.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring instant power-up readiness.
• Mixed-voltage interface bridging between different logic families.
• Embedded applications needing secure, reprogrammable logic with low standby power.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ZVQ100I against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and package dimensions. Ensure that the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C TJ) aligns with your system's thermal requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the supplier, as regulatory updates may affect specific production batches.

Selection Notes

Select this component when instant-on capability is critical, eliminating the need for external configuration PROMs. Compare gate density and I/O count against other ProASIC3 nano variants if higher logic capacity or different package sizes are required. Verify that the 1.5V core voltage requirement matches your system's power delivery infrastructure.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 nano family, which bridges the gap between standard ASICs and larger FPGAs. The nano series focuses on low-power, small-footprint applications using flash technology. It shares pin compatibility with other devices in the ProASIC3 family, facilitating design scalability across different logic densities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes within the same package include other ProASIC3 nano models such as A3PN010 or A3PN020, provided the logic resource requirements are met. Cross-family replacements require careful verification of I/O voltage levels and timing characteristics.
