A1010B-1PLG44C

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A1010B-1PLG44C is an ACT™ 1 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. It features 295 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and approximately 1200 equivalent system gates, housed in a 44-pin Plastic Leadless Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with J-leads. The device operates on a single 5V supply within the 4.5V to 5.5V range and supports up to 34 user-programmable I/O pins. Designed for commercial applications, it functions reliably within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• ACT™ 1 architecture providing high-density logic resources in a compact form factor
• CMOS technology enabling low power consumption and high-speed operation
• In-system programmability allowing field updates without socket removal

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable logic processing
• Communication interface protocols and signal conversion
• Test and measurement equipment logic integration

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

This component has been officially discontinued by the manufacturer as of June 21, 2013. Verification of authenticity is critical when sourcing from secondary markets due to potential obsolescence risks. Buyers must confirm the specific suffix 'C' denotes the commercial temperature grade and plastic package variant. Ensure compatibility with existing design files before procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this part for legacy designs utilizing the ACT™ 1 family where 295 CLBs are sufficient. Verify that the 44-pin PLCC footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Consider the 0°C to 70°C operating limit against environmental conditions. For higher density requirements, evaluate the A1020 series or modern replacements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

Part of the Microsemi ACT™ 1 FPGA family, which serves as a bridge between complex CPLDs and larger FPGAs. This series is known for its fast turnaround time and ease of use in prototyping. The A1010B variant specifically targets mid-range logic density needs with robust I/O capabilities.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not available due to architectural differences. Evaluate Microsemi SmartFusion or IGLOO families for modern equivalents. Check for compatible third-party alternatives only if they match the exact gate count and package dimensions.
