A3PN020-QNG68

The A3PN020-QNG68 is a ProASIC3 nano Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology. It provides 520 logic elements (approximately 20,000 gates) and 49 I/O pins in a compact 68‑VFQFN exposed‑pad package for surface‑mount assembly.

Designed for commercial applications that require modest logic density and a small footprint, this device supports designs constrained by board space and specific I/O counts while operating from a low-voltage supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and an ambient range of −20 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• Core Logic 520 logic elements providing roughly 20,000 gates for implementing combinational and sequential logic functions.
• I/O Resources 49 general‑purpose I/O pins to interface with peripherals, sensors and external logic on compact boards.
• Memory No on‑chip RAM (Total RAM Bits: 0), suitable for designs that rely on external memory or minimal internal storage.
• Power Specified core voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V for integration with low‑voltage power domains.
• Package & Mounting 68‑VFQFN exposed pad (supplier package: 68‑QFN, 8×8) in a surface‑mount form factor for dense board layouts and effective thermal conduction.
• Operating Conditions Commercial grade device with an operating temperature range of −20 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• Compact embedded systems — Implement control and glue logic in space‑constrained products where a 68‑VFQFN package and 49 I/O meet board layout requirements.
• Interface bridging — Use the available I/O and logic elements to create protocol bridging, signal conditioning, or simple data-path logic between peripherals.
• Sensor and actuator control — Integrate digital control and I/O aggregation for sensor inputs or actuator outputs in commercial equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Compact package with exposed pad — The 68‑VFQFN exposed‑pad package supports dense PCB integration and improved thermal handling for surface‑mount assemblies.
• Balanced logic density — 520 logic elements and approximately 20,000 gates provide a middle ground between small CPLDs and larger FPGAs for many embedded tasks.
• Matched I/O count — 49 I/O pins simplify board design by matching common peripheral and interface needs without unnecessary pin overhead.
• Low‑voltage operation — Narrow supply range (1.425 V to 1.575 V) enables straightforward integration into low‑voltage designs and domain power planning.
• Commercial availability and compliance — Commercial grade device with RoHS compliance for mainstream electronics production.
