A3PN060-VQG100

Overview

The A3PN060-VQG100 is a ProASIC3 nano Flash FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 700 logic elements and 60,000 system gates within a 100-pin VQFP package (14x14 mm). The device includes 18 kbit of embedded memory and supports 71 user I/Os. Operating voltage ranges from 1.425 V to 1.575 V, with a maximum operating frequency of 350 MHz. It functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling instant-on operation without external configuration memory.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O banks for compatibility with various logic standards.
• Integrated Clock Conditioning Circuitry (CCC) with Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) capabilities.

Applications

• Low-power portable electronic devices requiring instant power-up functionality.
• Industrial control systems utilizing mixed-voltage signal interfaces.
• Embedded logic replacement in legacy hardware designs.

Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'I' for industrial temperature rating (-40°C to +100°C) if required, as standard commercial grades may differ. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer's current documentation. Ensure ESD precautions are observed during handling due to moisture sensitivity level 3 classification.

Selection Notes

Select this component when instant-on capability and low static power consumption are critical. Compare against the AGLN series if SRAM-based reconfiguration is needed instead of flash retention. Verify that the 71 I/O count and 18 kbit memory meet the specific design requirements before finalizing the part number.

Part Context

This model belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring small form factors. It bridges the gap between complex FPGAs and simple PLDs, offering flash technology advantages over traditional SRAM-based counterparts in terms of board space and power efficiency.

Replacement Considerations

The A3PN060-1VQG100 serves as a pin-compatible alternative within the same family. Verify voltage tolerances and temperature ratings when substituting. Cross-reference with A3PN060-VQG100I for confirmed industrial grade specifications.
