A10V20B-PLG84C

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A10V20B-PLG84C is a 3.3V ACT 1 Series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microsemi Corporation, formerly Actel. It features 2000 gate array capacity, equivalent to 6000 PLD gates, and includes 547 programmable logic modules with up to 273 flip-flops. The device utilizes PLICE antifuse technology for nonvolatile configuration and supports data rates up to 55 MHz at 3.3V. It is housed in an 84-pin Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with 69 user I/Os. Operating temperature range is commercial (0°C to +70°C).

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Supports automatic place and route design implementation via the Designer Advantage Systems.
• Includes two independent diagnostic probe pins for real-time signal observation during debugging.
• Features a built-in high-speed clock distribution network with hardwired routing for minimum skew.
• I/O buffers are compatible with standard TTL and CMOS drive levels.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Replacing multiple TTL packages or PAL devices in digital logic designs.
• Prototyping complex logic functions using macro function generators.
• Systems requiring on-chip diagnostic capabilities for speed analysis and testing.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or manufacturer channels. Confirm lot traceability and RoHS compliance status as required by your procurement specifications. Ensure handling procedures adhere to electrostatic discharge protection guidelines during storage and assembly.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring 3.3V operation with moderate logic density. Compare against the 5V A1020B variant if voltage compatibility differs. Consider speed grades (-1, -2, -3) if timing constraints exceed standard performance limits. Verify package availability against the product plan for specific speed grades.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ACT 1 Series of FPGAs, which employ 1.0 micron CMOS technology and PLICE antifuse programming. The series includes variants like A1010B and A1020B for 5V applications. Actel was acquired by Microsemi Corporation, integrating these legacy FPGA technologies into broader semiconductor portfolios.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family include other speed grades of the A10V20B or A1020B in the PLG84 package. Cross-family migration requires verification of logic module counts and I/O configurations against the new device's specifications.
