A3PN060-Z1VQG100I

Overview

The A3PN060-Z1VQG100I is a ProASIC3 nano Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 700 Logic Elements and supports up to 71 I/O pins within a 100-VQFP package measuring 14x14 mm. The device operates on a supply voltage ranging from 1.425V to 1.575V and includes 18,432 bits of total RAM. It is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to 100°C (TJ).

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based architecture ensures instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.
• Integrated security features provide robust protection against unauthorized access and bitstream tampering.
• Supports high-density logic implementation with embedded block RAM for complex data processing tasks.

Applications

• Embedded hardware applications requiring compact programmable logic solutions.
• Industrial control systems demanding high reliability and non-volatile configuration.
• Consumer electronics utilizing low-power FPGA architectures for signal processing.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix Z1 against official Microchip documentation to confirm it denotes a valid commercial or industrial grade variant rather than a sample or obsolete status. Ensure compatibility with standard JTAG programming interfaces and confirm that the 100-VQFP footprint matches your PCB design constraints prior to ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatile configuration is required to eliminate external PROM dependencies. The ProASIC3 nano family offers lower power consumption compared to SRAM-based FPGAs. Consider the 700 LE capacity for moderate complexity designs and verify that the 1.425V-1.575V voltage range aligns with your system power rails.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, which combines flash technology with high-performance logic resources. It serves as a successor to earlier ProASIC devices, offering improved density and reduced power. The series is designed for applications needing secure, instant-on capabilities in small form factors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the A3PN060 family such as A3PN060-VQG100I, provided the pinout and electrical specifications remain identical. Verify if alternative suffixes denote different temperature grades or packaging options before substitution.
