Description
The ACT™ 1 Series of field programmable gate arrays
(FPGAs) offers a variety of package, speed, and application
combinations. Devices are implemented in silicon gate,
1-micron two-level metal CMOS, and they employ Actel’s
PLICE® antifuse technology. The unique architecture offers
gate array flexibility, high performance, and instant
turnaround through user programming. Device utilization is
typically 95 to 100 percent of available logic modules.
ACT 1 devices also provide system designers with unique
on-chip diagnostic probe capabilities, allowing convenient
testing and debugging. Additional features include an on-chip
clock driver with a hardwired distribution network. The
network provides efficient clock distribution with minimum
skew.
The user-definable I/Os are capable of driving at both TTL
and CMOS drive levels. Available packages include plastic
and ceramic J-leaded chip carriers, ceramic and plastic quad
flatpacks, and ceramic pin grid array.

Figure 1 • Partial View of an ACT 1 Device
ACT 1 Device Structure
A partial view of an ACT 1 device (Figure 1) depicts four logic
modules and distributed horizontal and vertical interconnect
tracks. PLICE antifuses, located at intersections of the
horizontal and vertical tracks, connect logic module inputs
and outputs. During programming, these antifuses are
addressed and programmed to make the connections
required by the circuit application.
The ACT 1 Logic Module
The ACT 1 logic module is an 8-input, one-output logic circuit
chosen for the wide range of functions it implements and for
its efficient use of interconnect routing resources (Figure 2).
The logic module can implement the four basic logic
functions (NAND, AND, OR, and NOR) in gates of two, three,
or four inputs. Each function may have many versions, with
different combinations of active-low inputs. The logic module
can also implement a variety of D-latches, exclusivity
functions, AND-ORs, and OR-ANDs. No dedicated hardwired
latches or flip-flops are required in the array, since latches
and flip-flops may be constructed from logic modules
wherever needed in the application.

bidirectional buffer. Input and output levels are compatible
with standard TTL and CMOS specifications. Outputs sink or

ACT 1 Array Performance
Device O rganization
Worst-case delays for ACT 1 arrays are calculated in the same
manner as for masked array products. A typical delay
parameter is multiplied by a derating factor to account for
temperature, voltage, and processing effects. However, in an
ACT 1 array, temperature and voltage effects are less
dramatic than with masked devices. The electrical
characteristics of module interconnections on ACT 1 devices
remain constant over voltage and temperature fluctuations.
Temperature and Voltage Effects
ACT 1 devices consist of a matrix of logic modules arranged in
rows separated by wiring channels. This array is surrounded
by a ring of peripheral circuits including I/O buffers,
testability circuits, and diagnostic probe circuits providing
real-time diagnostic capability. Between rows of logic
modules are routing channels containing sets of segmented
metal tracks with PLICE antifuses. Each channel has 22
signal tracks. Vertical routing is permitted via 13 vertical
tracks per logic module column. The resulting network allows
arbitrary and flexible interconnections between logic
modules and I/O modules.
As a result, the total derating factor from typical to
worst-case for a standard speed ACT 1 array is only 1.19 to 1,
compared to 2 to 1 for a masked gate array.
Logic Module Size
Logic module size also affects performance. A mask
programmed gate array cell with four transistors usually
implements only one logic level. In the more complex logic
module (similar to the complexity of a gate array macro) of
an ACT 1 array, implementation of multiple logic levels
within a single module is possible. This eliminates interlevel
wiring and associated RC delays. The effect is termed “net
compression.”
Probe Pin
ACT 1 devices have two independent diagnostic probe pins.
These pins allow the user to observe any two internal signals
by entering the appropriate net name in the diagnostic
software. Signals may be viewed on a logic analyzer using
Actel’s Actionprobe® diagnostic tools. The probe pins can
also be used as user-defined I/Os when debugging is finished.

Pin Description
CLK
PRA
Clock (Input)
TTL Clock input for global clock distribution network. The
Clock input is buffered prior to clocking the logic modules.
This pin can also be used as an I/O.
DCLK
Diagnostic Clock (Input)
TTL Clock input for diagnostic probe and device
programming. DCLK is active when the MODE pin is HIGH.
This pin functions as an I/O when the MODE pin is LOW.
GND
Ground
Input LOW supply voltage.
I/O
PRB
Input/Output (Input, Output)
I/O pin functions as an input, output, three-state, or
bidirectional buffer. Input and output levels are compatible
with standard TTL and CMOS specifications. Unused I/O pins
are automatically driven LOW by the ALS software.
MODE
Mode (Input)
The MODE pin controls the use of multifunction pins (DCLK,
PRA, PRB, SDI). When the MODE pin is HIGH, the special
functions are active. When the MODE pin is LOW, the pins
function as I/O. To provide Actionprobe capability, the MODE
pin should be terminated to GND through a 10K resistor so
that the MODE pin can be pulled high when required.
NC
No Connection
This pin is not connected to circuitry within the device.
Probe A (Output)
The Probe A pin is used to output data from any user-defined
design node within the device. This independent diagnostic
pin is used in conjunction with the Probe B pin to allow
real-time diagnostic output of any signal path within the
device. The Probe A pin can be used as a user-defined I/O
when debugging has been completed. The pin’s probe
capabilities can be permanently disabled to protect the
programmed design’s confidentiality. PRA is active when the
MODE pin is HIGH. This pin functions as an I/O when the
MODE pin is LOW.
Probe B (Output)
The Probe B pin is used to output data from any user-defined
design node within the device. This independent diagnostic
pin is used in conjunction with the Probe A pin to allow
real-time diagnostic output of any signal path within the
device. The Probe B pin can be used as a user-defined I/O
when debugging has been completed. The pin’s probe
capabilities can be permanently disabled to protect the
programmed design’s confidentiality. PRB is active when the
MODE pin is HIGH. This pin functions as an I/O when the
MODE pin is LOW.
SDI
Serial Data Input (Input)
Serial data input for diagnostic probe and device
programming. SDI is active when the MODE pin is HIGH. This
pin functions as an I/O when the MODE pin is LOW.

Where:
ICCstandby is the current flowing when no inputs or

VOL, VOH are TTL level output voltages.
Active Power Component
N equals the number of outputs driving TTL loads to
VOL.
Power dissipation in CMOS devices is usually dominated by
the active (dynamic) power dissipation. This component is
frequency dependent, a function of the logic and the
M equals the number of outputs driving TTL loads to
VOH.
An accurate determination of N and M is problematical
because their values depend on the family type, design
details, and on the system I/O. The power can be divided into
two components: static and active.
Static Power Component
Actel FPGAs have small static power components that result
in lower power dissipation than PALs or PLDs. By integrating
multiple PALs/PLDs into one FPGA, an even greater
reduction in board-level power dissipation can be achieved.
external I/O. Active power dissipation results from charging
internal chip capacitances of the interconnect,
unprogrammed antifuses, module inputs, and module
outputs, plus external capacitance due to PC board traces
and load device inputs. An additional component of the active
power dissipation is the totem-pole current in CMOS
transistor pairs. The net effect can be associated with an
equivalent capacitance that can be combined with frequency
and voltage to represent active power dissipation.

Equivalent Capacitance
CEQM
= Equivalent capacitance of logic modules in pF
The power dissipated by a CMOS circuit can be expressed by
the Equation 1.
CEQI
= Equivalent capacitance of input buffers in pF
CEQO
= Equivalent capacitance of output buffers in pF
CEQCR
= Equivalent capacitance of routed array clock in
pF
CEQ is the equivalent capacitance expressed in pF.
CL
= Output lead capacitance in pF
VCC is the power supply in volts.
fm
= Average logic module switching rate in MHz
F is the switching frequency in MHz.
fn
= Average input buffer switching rate in MHz
fp
= Average output buffer switching rate in MHz
fq1
= Average first routed array clock rate in MHz (All
families)
Power (uW) = CEQ * VCC2 * F
(1)
Where:
Equivalent capacitance is calculated by measuring ICCactive
at a specified frequency and voltage for each circuit
component of interest. Measurements have been made over a
range of frequencies at a fixed value of VCC. Equivalent
capacitance is frequency independent so that the results may
be used over a wide range of operating conditions. Equivalent
capacitance values are shown below.

Determining Average Switching Frequency
4.6
To calculate the active power dissipated from the complete
design, the switching frequency of each part of the logic must
be known. Equation 2 shows a piece-wise linear summation
over all components.
Power = VCC2 * [(m * CEQM * fm)modules +
(n * CEQI* fn)inputs + (p * (CEQO+ CL) * fp)outputs +
0.5 * (q1 * CEQCR * fq1)routed_Clk1 +

(2)
Where:
To determine the switching frequency for a design, you must
have a detailed understanding of the data input values to the
circuit. The following guidelines are meant to represent
worst-case scenarios so that they can be generally used to
predict the upper limits of power dissipation. These
guidelines are as follows:

Functional Timing Tests
AC timing for logic module internal delays is determined
after place and route. The DirectTime Analyzer utility
displays actual timing parameters for circuit delays. ACT 1
devices are AC tested to a “binning” circuit specification.
The circuit consists of one input buffer + n logic modules +
one output buffer (n = 16 for A1010B; n = 28 for A1020B). The
logic modules are distributed along two sides of the device, as
inverting or non-inverting buffers. The modules are
connected through programmed antifuses with typical
capacitive loading.
Propagation delay [tPD = (tPLH + tPHL)/2] is tested to the
following AC test specifications.

resistive and capacitive loading of the routing tracks, the
interconnect elements, and the module inputs being driven.
Propagation delay increases as the length of routing tracks,
the number of interconnect elements, or the number of
inputs increases.
From a design perspective, the propagation delay can be
statistically correlated or modeled by the fanout (number of
loads) driven by a module. Higher fanout usually requires
some paths to have longer routing tracks.
The ACT 1 family delivers a very tight fanout delay
distribution. This tight distribution is achieved in two ways: by
decreasing the delay of the interconnect elements and by
decreasing the number of interconnect elements per path.
Actel’s patented PLICE antifuse offers a very low
resistive/capacitive interconnect. The ACT 1 family’s
antifuses, fabricated in 1.0 micron lithography, offer nominal
levels of 200 ohms resistance and 7.5 femtofarad (fF)
capacitance per antifuse.
The ACT 1 fanout distribution is also tight due to the low
number of antifuses required for each interconnect path. The
ACT 1 family’s proprietary architecture limits the number of
antifuses per path to a maximum of four, with 90% of
interconnects using two antifuses.

Timing Characteristics
Timing characteristics for ACT 1 devices fall into three
categories: family dependent, device dependent, and design
dependent. The input and output buffer characteristics are
common to all ACT 1 family members. Internal routing delays
are device dependent. Design dependency means actual delays
are not determined until after placement and routing of the
user design is complete. Delay values may then be determined
by using the DirectTime Analyzer utility or performing
simulation with post-layout delays.
Critical Nets and Typical Nets
Propagation delays are expressed only for typical nets, which
are used for initial design performance evaluation. Critical
net delays can then be applied to the most time-critical paths.
Critical nets are determined by net property assignment prior
to placement and routing. Up to 6% of the nets in a design may
be designated as critical, while 90% of the nets in a design are
typical.
Long Tracks
Some nets in the design use long tracks. Long tracks are
special routing resources that span multiple rows, columns, or
modules. Long tracks employ three and sometimes four
antifuse connections. This increases capacitance and
resistance, resulting in longer net delays for macros
connected to long tracks. Typically, up to 6% of nets in a fully
utilized device require long tracks. Long tracks contribute
approximately 5 ns to 10 ns delay. This additional delay is
represented statistically in higher fanout (FO=8) routing
delays in the data sheet specifications section.

Notes:
1. VCC = 3.0 V for 3.3V specifications.
2. Routing delays are for typical designs across worst-case operating conditions. These parameters should be used for estimating device
performance. Post-route timing analysis or simulation is required to determine actual worst-case performance. Post-route timing is based
on actual routing delay measurements performed on the device prior to shipment.
3. Setup times assume fanout of 3. Further testing information can be obtained from the DirectTime Analyzer utility.
4. The Hold Time for the DFME1A macro may be greater than 0 ns. Use the Designer 3.0 or later Timer to check the Hold Time for this macro.
