A1415A-PLG84I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A1415A-PLG84I is an ACT3 series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. It features a capacity of 1,500 gate array equivalent gates and 200 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs). The device supports up to 80 user I/Os and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. It is housed in a 100-BQFP package with dimensions of 20x14 mm. The component is rated for industrial operating temperatures from -40°C to 85°C and has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 3.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• ACT3 architecture providing highly predictable performance through automatic place-and-route tools.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• General-purpose digital logic implementation requiring moderate gate density.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PLG84I' against official Microsemi documentation, as standard ACT3 listings often cite 'PL84B' or 'PQG100'. Confirm end-of-life status and last-time-buy dates directly with authorized distributors, as this family is discontinued. Ensure compatibility with legacy programming tools such as Libero FPGA software before procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, radiation-tolerant FPGA solution is required for mid-range logic applications. Compare against the A1415A-PL84B for pin-compatible alternatives if different temperature grades are needed. Evaluate the ACT3 family's reliability standards against modern flash-based FPGAs for long-term production cycles.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Microsemi ACT3 Accelerator Series, designed for high-reliability applications. It succeeded earlier Actel PLD families and offered significant logic density improvements over PAL equivalents while maintaining low power consumption. The ACT3 line was widely adopted in aerospace and defense sectors prior to its discontinuation.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include the A1415A-PL84B. For functional equivalents, consider the A10V20B series for higher density or the ProASIC3 family for flash-based non-volatility, though architectural differences require design re-evaluation.
