A1415A-1VQG100C

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A1415A-1VQG100C is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microsemi ACT3 family. It features 200 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and approximately 1500 equivalent system gates. The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 110 MHz and operates with a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. It is housed in a 100-pin Thin Profile Quad Flat Package (TFQFP/VQFP-100) with a 1 mm height and 0.5 mm pitch. The component is designed for commercial temperature ranges, typically -40°C to 85°C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• ACT3 architecture providing non-volatile Flash-based configuration for instant-on operation without external memory.
• High-density logic resources within a compact footprint suitable for complex digital control applications.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards allowing interface with various peripheral devices.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial automation controllers
• Telecommunications signal processing
• Consumer electronics logic replacement

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' indicates the commercial temperature grade (-40°C to 85°C) as opposed to industrial or military grades. Confirm package integrity upon receipt, as thin-profile QFP packages are sensitive to mechanical stress during handling and soldering. Ensure ESD precautions are strictly followed during storage and assembly processes.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a moderate gate count (approx. 1500) and high-speed performance (110 MHz) are required in a 100-pin package. Compare against the A1415A-1PQG100I if an industrial temperature range is necessary instead of commercial. Consider pin compatibility with existing PCB layouts designed for standard QFP footprints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Microsemi ACT3 series, which utilizes Flash technology for reprogrammability. It serves as a drop-in replacement for older GALs and PLDs in legacy designs. The ACT3 family bridges the gap between simple programmable logic and larger FPGAs, offering deterministic timing and low power consumption.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The A1415A-1PQG100I is a verified functional substitute with identical logic capacity but differs in operating temperature range (Industrial vs. Commercial). Verify that the temperature requirements of the target application align with the 'C' suffix specifications before substitution.
