The A3PN250-Z1VQG100I is a ProASIC3 nano FPGA from Microchip Technology that delivers configurable programmable logic in a compact 100-pin TQFP package. Its architecture provides a balance of logic density, embedded memory, and I/O capacity suited for industrial embedded designs requiring adaptable digital logic.

This device targets applications that need on-board programmable logic, deterministic I/O, and defined low-power behavior, while operating from a narrow core voltage range and across an industrial temperature window.

Key Features

• Core Logic  6,144 logic elements (logic cells) providing a total of 250,000 gates of user-configurable logic capacity.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 36.9 kbits of on-chip RAM (36,864 total RAM bits) for small data buffering and state storage.
• I/O and Package  68 user I/Os in a compact surface-mount footprint; device is supplied in a 100-TQFP package (supplier device package: 100-VQFP, 14×14 mm).
• Power and Voltage  Core supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V to support the device’s low-voltage operation model.
• Low-Power Modes (documented)  The ProASIC3 nano family documentation describes multiple low-power modes including Static (Idle), User Low Static, Sleep and Shutdown modes for power-managed designs.
• Industrial Temperature Grade  Rated for operation from −40°C to 100°C, suitable for industrial temperature environments.
• Mounting and Compliance  Surface-mount PCB assembly and RoHS-compliant manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Logic Acceleration  Implement custom state machines, protocol handling, and glue logic using 6,144 logic elements and abundant gate capacity.
• I/O Expansion and Signal Conditioning  Use the 68 I/Os to interface and multiplex between sensors, peripherals, or legacy interfaces in space-constrained boards.
• Low-Power Control and Power Management  Leverage documented low-power modes together with the defined core voltage range for energy-conscious control circuitry.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, high-density logic: 6,144 logic elements and 250,000 gates provide substantial programmable capacity in a 100-pin package, reducing board-level complexity.
