A3PN125-Z1VQ100I

Overview

The A3PN125-Z1VQ100I is a ProASIC3 Nano field-programmable gate array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 1,500 logic elements and 71 I/O pins within a 100-VQFP package. The device operates on a core voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and supports maximum frequencies up to 350 MHz. It includes 36 kbit of embedded memory and functions across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based FPGA architecture for instant-on operation
• Industrial temperature rating suitable for harsh environments
• High-density logic with integrated embedded memory blocks

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable non-volatile configuration
• Automotive electronics operating in extended temperature ranges
• Communication infrastructure interface logic

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix Z1 against official Microchip documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and commercial/industrial classification. Confirm RoHS compliance status as it varies by manufacturing batch and region. Ensure the 100-VQFP package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatile configuration is required to eliminate external boot PROMs. The Z1 suffix indicates specific environmental ratings; compare these against standard commercial or industrial grades if cost optimization is necessary. Verify that the 1.5V core voltage aligns with your system power rails.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 Nano family, designed for low-power, high-density applications. It serves as a successor to earlier ASIC solutions, offering reprogrammability while maintaining the benefits of flash technology. The A3PN125 variant provides a balance of logic capacity and I/O flexibility for mid-range designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other A3PN125 variants with different suffixes (e.g., -1VQ100I) which may differ only in temperature range or packaging. Cross-family replacements like A3PE1500 require significant design changes due to volatile configuration requirements.
