A3PN250-Z1VQ100

The A3PN250-Z1VQ100 is a ProASIC3 nano flash-based FPGA from Microchip Technology, offering a low-power programmable fabric tailored for commercial embedded designs. It combines a moderate logic capacity with on-chip RAM and 68 general-purpose I/Os in a 100‑pin TQFP surface-mount package.

Designed for applications that require configurable logic, flexible I/O and nonvolatile flash architecture, this device addresses use cases where compact footprint, low-voltage operation and commercial-grade temperature range are priorities.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 6,144 logic elements (cells) delivering up to 250,000 equivalent gates for implementing custom digital functions and control logic.
• Embedded Memory — 36,864 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 36.9 kbits) for FIFOs, small buffers and state storage without external memory.
• I/O Count — 68 user I/Os to support a broad mix of external interfaces and peripheral connections.
• Flash-Based FPGA Fabric — ProASIC3 nano flash architecture and device documentation focused on low-power modes and flash-based global resources.
• Power — Single-core supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V for the programmable fabric.
• Package & Mounting — 100‑TQFP surface-mount package; supplier device package listed as 100‑VQFP (14×14 mm) for physical footprint reference.
• Environmental & Grade — Commercial grade device with RoHS compliance and an operating temperature range of −20 °C to 85 °C.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control — Implement custom control logic and state machines using the device’s 6,144 logic elements and on-chip RAM to minimize external components.
• Sensor and Peripheral Interfaces — Use the 68 I/Os to aggregate sensors, actuators or peripherals in compact, low-voltage systems.
• Prototyping and Custom Logic — Rapidly iterate and validate custom digital functions with the reprogrammable flash fabric and surface-mount 100‑TQFP package for board-level evaluation.

Unique Advantages

• Moderate Logic Density in a Compact Package: 6,144 logic elements and 250,000 equivalent gates provide substantial programmable resources while fitting a 100‑pin TQFP footprint.
• On-Chip Memory Reduces BOM: 36,864 bits of embedded RAM allow local buffering and state retention, reducing the need for small external memories.
• Low-Voltage, Flash-Based Fabric: Flash architecture combined with a 1.425 V–1.575 V supply supports low-power modes described in the ProASIC3 nano documentation, helping manage system power budgets.
• Flexible I/O Count: Sixty-eight I/Os enable diverse peripheral and interface options without expanding package pin count.
• Commercial-Grade Thermal Range: Rated for −20 °C to 85 °C, matching many consumer and commercial embedded environments.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for lead-free assembly and regulatory considerations.
