A3PN060-ZVQG100I

Overview

The A3PN060-ZVQG100I is a ProASIC3 Nano field-programmable gate array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 700 logic elements and approximately 60,000 gates within a 100-VQFP package. The device includes 18 kbit of embedded memory and supports 71 I/O pins. It operates on a single 1.5 V supply voltage with a range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V. The component supports maximum operating frequencies up to 350 MHz and functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based FPGA architecture providing instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.
• Integrated SRAM-based security features designed to protect intellectual property and prevent unauthorized access.
• Supports multiple low-voltage standards including LVCMOS, LVTTL, and LVDS for flexible interface compatibility.

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems requiring reliable programmable logic.
• Automotive electronics applications needing robust performance across wide temperature ranges.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment utilizing high-speed serial interfaces.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix Z against official Microchip documentation to confirm extended temperature ratings or special handling requirements. Confirm moisture sensitivity level and reflow soldering profiles prior to assembly. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any recent production change notices affecting lead finish or packaging specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when non-volatile storage and low power consumption are critical compared to SRAM-based FPGAs. Compare logic density and I/O count against other ProASIC3 Nano variants like the A3PN060 series. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 100-VQFP package constraints and verify voltage domain compatibility with system peripherals.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 Nano family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and traditional SRAM FPGAs. The family emphasizes low power, small form factors, and inherent security through its flash technology. It serves as a drop-in replacement for many CPLD applications while offering higher complexity and configurability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may include other A3PN060 variants with different suffixes indicating package or temperature changes. Verify functional equivalence regarding memory size and I/O capabilities before substitution. Consult Microchip's cross-reference tools for validated alternative part numbers.
