A1010B-PL44C

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A1010B-PL44C is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the ACT™ 1 series, manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. It features 295 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and approximately 1200 equivalent gate array gates. The device utilizes PLICE® antifuse technology for nonvolatile programming. It operates on a single 5V supply voltage within a range of 4.5V to 5.5V. The component is housed in a 44-pin Plastic Leadless Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with J-leads, suitable for surface-mount installation. It supports up to 34 I/Os and functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• ACT™ 1 FPGA architecture using PLICE® antifuse technology for instant turnaround and nonvolatile configuration.
• Gate array design enabling completely automatic place and route with high device utilization rates.
• Built-in high-speed clock distribution network supporting data rates up to 75 MHz.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Replacing multiple TTL packages in digital logic designs.
• Replacing multiple PAL packages in programmable logic applications.
• Prototyping complex digital systems requiring high-speed clock distribution.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PL44C' against official Microsemi documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Note that this product line has been subject to discontinuation notices; confirm current availability status through authorized distributors or manufacturer channels before procurement planning.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when a small-scale FPGA with 295 CLBs is required. Ensure the design fits within the 1200 gate limit and 34 I/O constraint. Verify that the 5V operating voltage aligns with the system power rails. Consider the PLCC package dimensions if board space is limited.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ACT™ 1 family, which offers gate array flexibility and high performance. The A1010B variant specifically provides 295 CLBs, distinguishing it from the larger A1020B series which offers 547 CLBs. Both share similar architectural features but differ in logic density and I/O capacity.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are difficult due to the discontinued status of the ACT™ 1 series. Designers may need to migrate to newer Microsemi SmartFusion or IGLOO families, requiring significant schematic and layout changes. No direct pin-compatible substitutes are publicly confirmed for this specific obsolete part number.
