A3PN250-ZVQ100

The A3PN250-ZVQ100 is a ProASIC3 nano flash-based FPGA from Microchip Technology. It provides a compact, low-power programmable logic fabric with 6,144 logic elements, on-chip embedded memory, and 68 general-purpose I/Os in a 100-pin TQFP package.

Designed for commercial-grade embedded designs, the device combines a flash-configured FPGA fabric with multiple low-power modes and global resource support to address applications that require small form factor programmable logic, deterministic configuration and low static power.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 6,144 logic elements (6144 logic elements) suitable for compact programmable-logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory  Total on-chip RAM: 36,864 bits (approx. 36.9 kbits) of embedded memory for state, buffering and small data structures.
• I/O  68 general-purpose I/Os enabling multiple peripheral and bus connections directly to the FPGA fabric.
• Gate Density  Equivalent to 250,000 gates of logic capacity for combining glue logic and small-scale acceleration functions.
• Low-Power Flash Architecture  Flash-based configuration with documented low-power operation modes including Static (Idle), User Low Static, Sleep and Shutdown to help manage static and dynamic power.
• Global Resources & Clocking  Architecture-level features described in the device family documentation include global resource distribution, VersaNet global network distribution, spine architecture and clock aggregation support for system-level routing and clocking strategies.
• Voltage & Power  Single-core supply range specified at 1.425 V to 1.575 V for the FPGA core.
• Package & Mounting  100-TQFP (100-VQFP, 14×14) surface-mount package for compact PCB designs.
• Operating Range  Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of −20 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control Logic  Use the programmable fabric and on-chip RAM to implement custom control, sequencing and glue logic functions in compact embedded systems.
• Interface Consolidation  Leverage 68 I/Os and the device’s global routing resources to consolidate multiple peripheral interfaces into a single programmable device.
• Low-Power Designs  Employ the device’s low-power modes and flash-based configuration for battery-aware or always-on applications that benefit from reduced static power.

Unique Advantages

• Flash-Based Nonvolatile Configuration:  Flash configuration enables immediate, nonvolatile FPGA behavior at power-up without external configuration memory.
• Small, PCB-Friendly Package:  100-TQFP surface-mount package allows integration into space-constrained PCBs while providing a full complement of I/Os.
• Explicit Low-Power Modes:  Documented Static, User Low Static, Sleep and Shutdown modes give designers defined options to reduce power consumption during idle or low-activity periods.
• Balanced Logic and Memory:  Combination of ~6,144 logic elements and ~36.9 kbits of on-chip RAM supports control-oriented and buffering tasks without external memory for many applications.
• System-Level Routing Features:  Global resource distribution, VersaNet and clock aggregation capabilities described in the device documentation help with deterministic routing and clocking in multi-domain designs.
• Commercial-Grade Temperature Range:  Specified −20 °C to 85 °C operating range for general-purpose commercial applications.
