A3PN060-1VQG100I

Overview

The A3PN060-1VQG100I is a ProASIC3 nano Flash FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 70,000 logic elements and 71 user I/Os within a 100-VQFP package. The device operates on a core voltage ranging from 1.425 V to 1.575 V and supports a maximum frequency of 350 MHz. It includes 18,432 bits of embedded RAM. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +85°C for the industrial grade variant.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile technology enabling instant-on functionality 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.
• Includes Configurable Clocking Circuit (CCC) blocks with integrated Phase-Locked Loops (PLL).
• Provides in-system programming capabilities via JTAG using AES decryption security.

Applications

• Low-power portable consumer electronics requiring instant power-up.
• Industrial control systems needing reprogrammable logic with mixed-voltage interfaces.
• Communication interface adapters utilizing high-speed serial protocols.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) rather than commercial grades. Confirm the 100-VQFP package dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Check RoHS compliance status against current manufacturing notices. Ensure ESD handling procedures are followed due to moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 70k LEs and 71 I/Os fit the design constraints while minimizing board space. Compare against the A3PN060-VQG100I if commercial temperature ranges suffice for lower costs. Consider the A3PN125 variant if higher logic density or additional RAM is required. Verify that the 1.5 V core voltage aligns with available power rails in the system architecture.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, designed for low-power applications. It utilizes a 130-nm flash process technology. The series offers pin-compatible packages across different logic densities. It serves as a bridge between standard ASICs and larger FPGAs in terms of cost and complexity.

Replacement Considerations

The A3PN060-VQG100I is a potential substitute if commercial temperature range is acceptable. Cross-reference pinouts with other 100-pin QFP devices only if logical equivalence is verified through schematic analysis. No direct drop-in replacements exist for identical feature sets in smaller packages.
