A1020B-PL68I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A1020B-PL68I is an embedded Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microsemi ACT™ 1 series. It features 2000 system gates and 547 LAB/CLBs, housed in a 68-LCC package with J-leads. The device supports 57 I/O pins and operates on a 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage. Designed for surface mount installation, it functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. This component serves as a high-capacity single-chip ASIC alternative.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation for core and I/Os at 5.0V or 3.3V
• Provides deterministic, user-controllable timing with up to 100% resource utilization
• Includes unique in-system diagnostic and verification capability via Silicon Explorer II

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• High capacity single-chip ASIC replacement
• Mixed-voltage logic interfacing
• Industrial control systems requiring wide temperature tolerance

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official Microsemi documentation, as standard distributors may list variants like PLG68I. Confirm end-of-life status and last-time buy dates through authorized channels. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed during storage and assembly due to moisture sensitivity level 3 classification.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 2000 system gates and 57 I/Os are required in a 68-pin LCC form factor. Compare against the A1010B for lower gate counts or the A40MX02 for higher performance needs. Verify that the industrial temperature rating (-40°C to 85°C) meets the specific environmental requirements of the target application design.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ACT™ 1 family, which offers CMOS technology for low power consumption. It is distinct from the A40MX02 series, which provides higher gate counts and different speed grades. The ACT™ 1 series is characterized by its fast wide-decode circuitry and compatibility with PCI-compliant I/O standards.
