A3PN060-Z1VQG100

Overview

The A3PN060-Z1VQG100 is a ProASIC3 Nano Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 700 Logic Elements and 60,000 gates within a 100-VQFP package. The device includes 18 kbit of embedded memory and supports 71 I/O pins. Operating voltage ranges from 1.425 V to 1.575 V. The industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C) ensures reliability in demanding environments. Maximum operating frequency reaches 350 MHz. This non-RoHS compliant component is designed for surface-mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Provides flash-based non-volatile programmability for instant-on system functionality without external configuration memory.
• Integrates significant logic density with embedded block RAM for efficient data buffering and processing tasks.
• Supports high-speed digital signal processing and control applications through flexible I/O standards.

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring robust logic processing.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment needing reliable signal handling.
• Automotive electronic systems operating under extended temperature conditions.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation carefully during procurement. The Z1 suffix indicates a non-RoHS compliant variant, which differs significantly from standard RoHS-compliant versions like the -I suffix. Confirm regulatory compliance requirements for your target market before ordering. Ensure the 100-VQFP package dimensions match your PCB footprint specifications exactly to avoid assembly issues.

Selection Notes

Select this model when industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) is mandatory alongside high logic density. Compare against the -I suffix variants if RoHS compliance is required for environmental regulations. Consider the 18 kbit embedded memory capacity relative to your design's storage needs. Verify that the 350 MHz maximum frequency meets your timing constraints for complex logic implementations.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 Nano family, which offers low-power, high-density FPGA solutions. The A3PN060 series specifically targets applications requiring moderate logic resources with integrated memory. The Z1 suffix distinguishes it as a non-standard or legacy option compared to the widely available RoHS-compliant -I industrial grade parts in the same logical family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes include the A3PN060-VQG100I for RoHS-compliant industrial applications. The A3PN060-1VQG100I serves as another verified industrial-grade alternative with identical electrical characteristics but different packaging or compliance status. Verify pin compatibility and thermal performance when cross-referencing these models.
