A3PN030-ZVQG100

Overview

The A3PN030-ZVQG100 is a ProASIC3 nano Flash FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 330 logic elements and 77 I/Os in a 100-VQFP package. The device operates with a core voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and supports commercial temperature ranges from 0°C to +85°C. It utilizes a 130-nm flash process, offering instant-on capabilities and non-volatile configuration retention. The maximum operating frequency reaches 231 MHz.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based technology providing instant-on functionality and non-volatile design storage without external configuration memory.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O banks allowing operation at 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V levels within the same device.
• Includes Clock Conditioning Circuits (CCC) with Phase-Locked Loops for flexible clock management and jitter reduction.

Applications

• Low-power embedded control systems requiring immediate system readiness upon power-up.
• Industrial automation interfaces utilizing mixed-voltage signal processing.
• Consumer electronics where board space savings from eliminating configuration EEPROMs are critical.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z' against official Microchip documentation to confirm environmental compliance or lead-free status details. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package variant and temperature grade required for your design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor FPGA with non-vatile configuration is needed. Compare logic density against the standard A3P030 if higher performance is not required. Verify that the 100-pin VQFP package fits the PCB footprint constraints. Confirm that the 1.5 V core voltage aligns with the system power budget and I/O interface requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, designed for cost-sensitive and low-power applications. It sits below the main ProASIC3 series in terms of logic density but offers similar flash-based advantages. The nano series targets simple logic replacement and interface bridging tasks in compact electronic designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other ProASIC3 nano variants such as A3PN060 or A3PN125, provided logic resources are sufficient. Standard ProASIC3 parts like A3P030 may require package adaptation due to different pinouts or voltage requirements.
