A3PN125-ZVQ100I

Overview

The A3PN125-ZVQ100I is a ProASIC3 nano Flash Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 125,000 system gates and 71 user I/Os within a 100-VQFP package. The device operates on a core supply voltage ranging from 1.425 V to 1.575 V. It includes 36,864 bits of total RAM for logic implementation. The industrial temperature grade supports operation between -40°C and +100°C junction temperature.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O banks operating at 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V levels
• Integrated Clock Conditioning Circuitry (CCC) blocks with Phase-Locked Loops (PLL) for clock management

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring low power consumption and instant startup
• Automotive electronics utilizing mixed-voltage signaling interfaces
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment needing secure in-system programming

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z' against official Microchip documentation to confirm environmental compliance or extended temperature specifications. Confirm package dimensions match the 100-VQFP (14x14 mm) outline. Ensure design compatibility with the 1.5 V core voltage requirements and JESD8-B standards for I/O operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a mid-density FPGA solution with flash technology is required. Compare against the standard A3PN125 series if industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) is mandatory. Evaluate pin count and I/O voltage flexibility against alternative ProASIC3 family members for optimal board space utilization.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, designed for low-power applications using a 130-nm CMOS process. It serves as a bridge between complex ASICs and larger FPGAs, offering reprogrammability with flash reliability. The Z suffix typically denotes specific manufacturing or environmental variants within the broader A3PN125 product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other ProASIC3 nano devices like the A3PN125-1VQ100I, provided the temperature range and I/O configurations align. Verify pin compatibility across the ProASIC3 family before substitution.
