A3PN250-ZVQ100I

Overview

The A3PN250-ZVQ100I is a ProASIC3 nano field-programmable gate array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 250,000 logic elements and supports up to 68 I/Os within a VQFP-100 package. The device operates on a core voltage ranging from 1.425 V to 1.575 V and functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. It achieves maximum operating frequencies of 350 MHz with zero embedded memory bits.

Feature Summary

• Provides non-volatile flash-based FPGA architecture for instant-on system operation without external configuration memory.
• Integrates high-density programmable logic suitable for complex digital control and interface applications.
• Supports standard surface-mount installation in compact form factors.

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring deterministic logic processing.
• Automotive electronic systems needing robust environmental tolerance.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment utilizing high-speed signal routing.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z' against official Microchip documentation to confirm extended temperature or reliability specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status as some variants may differ. Ensure ESD handling protocols are strictly followed during assembly due to moisture sensitivity classification.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high logic density is required alongside a low-pin-count quad flat package. Compare against the A3PN250-2VQG100I if commercial temperature grades suffice. Evaluate power consumption requirements against the 1.5 V core voltage specification.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ProASIC3 nano family, designed for cost-sensitive, high-volume applications. It complements the broader A3P series by offering lower power consumption while maintaining significant logic capacity. The Z suffix typically denotes specific environmental or manufacturing lot characteristics defined by the manufacturer.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other A3PN250 variants with different package options such as BGA or CCGA. Cross-reference with A3P250 models if higher performance metrics are acceptable. Verify pin compatibility before replacing with similar density FPGAs from other manufacturers.
