A3PN030-ZVQG100I

Overview

The A3PN030-ZVQG100I is a ProASIC3 Nano field-programmable gate array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 295 logic elements and 8 kbit of embedded memory within a 100-pin VQFP package. The device operates on a single 1.5V supply voltage, ranging from 1.425V to 1.575V. It supports up to 62 I/O pins and achieves maximum operating frequencies of 350 MHz. The component is rated for an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C junction temperature.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based architecture enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.
• Single 1.5V power supply operation designed for low-power portable applications.
• Integrated JTAG boundary scan support for manufacturing test and system debugging.

Applications

• Low-power consumer electronics requiring instant-on capabilities.
• Industrial control systems needing reliable programmable logic in harsh environments.
• Automotive infotainment and instrumentation modules.

Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix ZVQG100I corresponds to the specific commercial/industrial grade and package variant required. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official Microchip documentation prior to ordering. Ensure design files match the exact revision indicated in the datasheet to avoid compatibility issues with existing toolchains.

Selection Notes

Select this model when non-volatile storage and low static power are critical compared to volatile SRAM-based FPGAs. Compare logic density against the A3PN060 if additional resources are needed later. Verify that the 100-pin VQFP footprint fits the PCB layout constraints and thermal requirements for the target application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 Nano family, which bridges the gap between simple PLDs and complex FPGAs. It utilizes flash technology to provide system-level integration while maintaining low power consumption. The series is widely used in applications where code security and reduced bill-of-materials are primary design drivers.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package may include other members of the A3PN series such as the A3PN015 or A3PN060, provided logic resource requirements are met. Cross-family migration to ProASIC3 or IGLOO devices requires schematic and firmware redesign due to architectural differences.
