A3PN250-2VQG100

Overview

The A3PN250-2VQG100 is a ProASIC3 Nano field-programmable gate array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 250,000 gates and 68 I/Os in a VQFP-100 package. The device operates on a core voltage ranging from 1.425 V to 1.575 V with a maximum frequency of 350 MHz. It supports an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component includes 36 kbit of embedded memory and is RoHS compliant.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based FPGA architecture for instant-on functionality
• Supports high-speed logic operations up to 350 MHz
• Integrated embedded memory for data storage and configuration

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring non-volatile programmability
• Automotive electronics operating within extended temperature ranges
• Communication interface adapters and protocol converters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '2' indicates the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) compared to commercial variants. Confirm the VQFP-100 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Check for moisture sensitivity level (MSL) handling instructions if the component has been exposed to ambient conditions prior to soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this model when non-vatile configuration and low power consumption are required. Compare against the A3PN250-VQG100 if a commercial temperature range suffices. Ensure the 68 I/O count meets your interface needs, as other family members offer different pin counts.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 Nano family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring small form factors. It bridges the gap between complex FPGAs and simple PLDs, offering flash-based reprogrammability without external configuration memory.
