A3PN060-Z2VQ100

Overview

The A3PN060-Z2VQ100 is a ProASIC3 nano Flash FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 70,000 logic elements and 71 user I/Os within a 100-pin VQFP package. The device operates on a core voltage of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +100°C (TJ). It includes 18,432 bits of embedded RAM and achieves system performance up to 350 MHz.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile technology enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O banks for compatibility with various signal standards
• Integrated Clock Conditioning Circuitry (CCC) blocks with Phase-Locked Loops (PLL)
• In-system programming capability via JTAG with AES decryption security

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring low power consumption
• Consumer electronics utilizing instant-on capabilities
• Automotive applications needing robust flash-based programmability
• Telecommunications infrastructure components

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix designation against official Microchip documentation, as standard listings often use 'I' for industrial temperature ranges rather than 'Z'. Confirm moisture sensitivity level and reflow soldering profile requirements prior to assembly to ensure compliance with JESD-020 standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and low power consumption is required. The ProASIC3 nano family offers pin-compatible options across different gate counts. Ensure the design utilizes the 1.5 V core voltage domain effectively to leverage the series' low-power advantages over standard ProASIC3 devices.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, which targets ultra-low power applications compared to the higher-performance ProASIC3 and ProASIC3E families. It shares architectural similarities with other nano variants but provides specific capacity and I/O configurations tailored for cost-sensitive, battery-operated designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other members of the A3PN060 series such as A3PN060-VQG100I or A3PN060-2VQ100I, provided the temperature grade and package match. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 100-VQFP footprint and electrical characteristics.
