A1415A-VQG100M

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A1415A-VQG100M is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the ACT3 family, manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. It features 200 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and an equivalent gate count of 1500 gates. The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 110 MHz and utilizes CMOS technology. It is housed in a VQFP-100 package with a height of 1 mm, conforming to the MO-136 outline. The component operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to 125 °C and has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 3.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.
• High-density logic resources within a compact form factor for space-constrained designs.
• Robust radiation tolerance suitable for demanding operational environments.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Spacecraft avionics and satellite control systems
• Military communication equipment
• Industrial automation controllers

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' against official Microsemi documentation to confirm material composition or environmental compliance status. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding the VQFP-100 footprint and pin assignments. Confirm current availability as legacy components may have limited supply chains.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-gate-count FPGA with flash-based persistence is required. Compare against the A1415A-1PQG100I if industrial temperature ranges suffice, noting that the A1415A-VQG100M supports extended military temperatures. Verify I/O voltage requirements match the target system interfaces.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Microsemi ACT3 series, which bridges the gap between complex PLDs and larger FPGAs. The ACT3 family is distinguished by its use of Flash technology, eliminating the need for volatile configuration memories found in SRAM-based FPGAs. This series is widely recognized for its reliability in high-reliability sectors.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same package include the A1415A-1VQ100B, though functional differences such as RoHS compliance and temperature grades must be evaluated. Cross-family replacements require careful verification of logic capacity and I/O configurations.
