A3PN060-VQG100I

Overview

The A3PN060-VQG100I is a ProASIC3 nano Flash FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 700 logic elements and 18 kbit of embedded memory within a 100-VQFP package. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and supports up to 71 I/Os. It delivers a maximum operating frequency of 350 MHz and functions across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O banks for compatibility with 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V standards
• Integrated Clock Conditioning Circuit (CCC) blocks with Phase-Locked Loops for flexible clock management

Applications

• Low-power portable consumer electronics requiring instant power-up
• Industrial control systems needing secure in-system programming
• Automotive infotainment interfaces utilizing mixed-voltage signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VQG100I' against official Microchip documentation to confirm the commercial temperature grade and pinout compatibility. Ensure that the ordering information matches the exact package dimensions and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number directly with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor FPGA with flash technology is required for low-density logic applications. It is suitable for designs prioritizing instant-on capabilities over high-speed serial transceivers. Compare it against other ProASIC3 nano variants if higher logic density or different I/O counts are needed for the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, which utilizes a 130-nm CMOS process. The series is designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring reprogrammability and security features like AES decryption via JTAG. It serves as a bridge between discrete logic and larger FPGAs in compact system designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family include the A3PN030ZVQ100I and A3PN125-Z1VQG100I. Verify logic element counts and memory sizes when substituting to ensure functional equivalence.
