A1415A-1PLG84I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A1415A-1PLG84I is an ACT3 series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. It features a capacity of 1,500 system gates and 200 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs). The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports up to 80 user-programmable I/O pins. It is housed in an 84-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with a lead pitch of 1.27 mm. The component is rated for industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Nonvolatile Flash-based architecture providing instant-on functionality without external configuration memory
• High-density logic resources suitable for replacing complex discrete logic or CPLDs
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVTTL and LVCMOS

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic timing
• Automotive electronics applications
• Military and aerospace embedded processing

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) as required by the application environment. Confirm the PLCC-84 package compatibility with existing PCB footprints. Note that this part number may be subject to obsolescence; check current manufacturer status before finalizing procurement plans.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a nonvolatile FPGA solution is needed to replace high-gate-count CPLDs. Ensure the design requires 1,500 system gates and fits within the 84-pin form factor. Verify that the 5V core voltage aligns with the system power rails. Consider pin-locking capabilities if hardware security is a priority.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the ACT3 family of Flash FPGAs, which utilizes nonvolatile technology to eliminate the need for external configuration PROMs. The ACT3 series is designed for applications demanding low power consumption and high reliability, often serving as a drop-in replacement for standard PALs and GALs in legacy designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package are limited due to the discontinued status of the ACT3 family. Evaluate higher-capacity devices from the ProASIC3 or IGLOO families, though these will require schematic and layout modifications.
