A1415A-1PQG100C

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A1415A-1PQG100C is an Actel ACT3 series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. It features a capacity of 200 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and approximately 1,500 equivalent gates. The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 110 MHz and operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. It utilizes a 100-pin Plastic Quad Flatpack (PQFP) package with fine pitch terminals. The component is designed for CMOS technology and includes support for mixed-voltage I/O operations.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• ACT3 architecture providing high-performance logic density in a compact form factor
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards for flexible system integration
• Features fast clock-to-output timing characteristics suitable for high-speed applications

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic logic processing
• Telecommunications interface protocols and signal conditioning
• Automotive electronics applications demanding reliable programmable logic

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' indicates the commercial temperature grade during sourcing. Confirm package integrity as the PQFP form factor requires careful handling. Check for RoHS compliance status relative to current manufacturing revisions. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for this legacy component.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 200 CLBs are sufficient for the design complexity. Consider the 110 MHz speed grade against timing requirements. Evaluate the 100-pin count against available I/O resources. Compare against newer Microsemi families if lower power consumption or higher density is required.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ACT3 family, which serves as a bridge between complex PLDs and larger FPGAs. It offers non-volatile configuration capabilities typical of Actel devices. The family is known for instant-on functionality and radiation tolerance options in military variants.
