A3PN125-1VQG100I

Overview

The A3PN125-1VQG100I is a ProASIC3 nano Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 125,000 system gates and 71 user I/Os within a 100-pin VQFP package. The device operates on a core supply voltage ranging from 1.425V to 1.575V and supports an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. It includes 36,864 bits of total RAM for embedded logic functions.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes flash-based technology for instant-on operation and non-volatile design retention without external configuration memory.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVTTL and LVCMOS at multiple voltage levels across selectable banks.
• Integrates Clock Conditioning Circuits (CCC) with Phase-Locked Loops (PLL) for flexible clock management.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring low power consumption and instant-on capabilities.
• Automotive electronics operating within extended temperature ranges.
• Communication interface bridging and protocol conversion tasks.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1VQG100I' against official Microchip documentation to confirm the exact package dimensions, pinout, and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management strategies before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-volatile FPGA solution is required to eliminate external configuration chips. Compare gate density and I/O count against similar ProASIC3 nano models like the A3PN060 or A3PN250 to ensure optimal resource utilization for the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, which bridges the gap between standard ASICs and larger FPGAs. It offers lower power consumption and smaller form factors compared to the standard ProASIC3 series, targeting cost-sensitive and space-constrained embedded applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family include the A3PN060-1VQG100I for lower density needs or the A3PN250-1VQG100I for higher capacity. Verify that the alternative part number meets all electrical and environmental specifications of the original design.
