A14V25A-VQG100C

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A14V25A-VQG100C is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microsemi ACT V series. It features 375 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and approximately 25,000 equivalent gates. The device operates on a single 3.3V supply voltage and supports up to 96 user-programmable I/O pins. It is housed in a 100-pin Very Thin Quad Flat Package (VQFP) with a 1 mm height. The component is rated for commercial temperature operation ranging from 0°C to 70°C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• ACT V architecture providing high-density logic resources within a compact form factor
• Supports high-speed synchronous and asynchronous data processing via dedicated flip-flops
• Integrated fast clock networks designed to minimize skew across the die

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• High-speed digital signal processing interfaces
• Complex protocol conversion and bridging logic
• Custom controller implementations for embedded systems

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' confirms the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C against the official datasheet. Confirm the package designation matches the 100-pin VQFP physical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with 3.3V I/O standards if interfacing with modern logic families. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation required by the end application.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 375 CLBs are sufficient for the design complexity. Verify that the 100-pin VQFP footprint fits the PCB layout constraints. Compare performance metrics such as clock-to-output delay against system timing requirements. Consider the ACT V family's place-and-route predictability for reliable timing closure.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the ACT V family, which succeeded the ACT III series. It offers increased logic density compared to the A14V15A while maintaining similar pin counts. The ACT V series was designed to bridge the gap between low-density PLDs and larger FPGAs, offering a balance of speed and resource availability.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other ACT V variants like the A14V35A if higher logic density is acceptable. Cross-family migration to SmartFusion or IGLOO requires significant architectural redesign. Verify pinout compatibility before substituting with older ACT III parts.
