Overview of 5962-0151802QXC – SX-A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 203 256-BFCQFP with Tie Bar
The 5962-0151802QXC is an SX-A family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a 256-pin BFCQFP package with tie bar, supplied for surface-mount applications. It delivers a balance of programmable logic capacity, high I/O count and rugged operating range tailored for military-grade, high-reliability systems.
Built on the SX-A family architecture, the device combines nonvolatile single-chip FPGA capability with configurable I/O and security features to support mixed-voltage interfacing and deterministic timing in demanding environments.
Key Features
- Logic Capacity — 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements (cells) provide substantial on-chip programmable logic for medium-complexity designs.
- I/O and Interface Flexibility — 203 user I/O pins allow dense external connectivity; family-level configurable I/O supports 3.3 V/5 V PCI, 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL and 2.5 V LVCMOS2 signaling with 5 V input tolerance.
- Performance Characteristics — SX-A family performance targets include up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance (family specification).
- Power and Voltage — Wide supply voltage range from 2.25 V to 5.25 V and power-up/power-down friendly operation reduce sequencing constraints in multi-rail systems.
- Package and Mounting — 256-BFCQFP with tie bar (supplier device package: 256-CQFP, 75 × 75 mm) for surface-mount PCB assembly in space-constrained layouts.
- Reliability and Temperature — Military-grade device with an operating temperature range of −55 °C to 125 °C suitable for harsh-environment applications.
- Security and Test — Family-level features include nonvolatile single-chip configuration, Actel Secure Programming Technology (FuseLock™) for design protection, and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan for board-level testability.
- Diagnostic and Timing Control — SX-A family offers deterministic, user-controllable timing and in-system diagnostic/verification capability (family tools referenced in datasheet).
- Compliance — RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Military & Aerospace Systems — Military temperature grading (−55 °C to 125 °C) and a rugged package make this FPGA suitable for avionics, defense electronics and other high-reliability deployments.
- Communications & Networking — High I/O count and up to 48,000 system gates enable protocol handling, I/O aggregation and interface bridging in communication equipment.
- Industrial Control & Instrumentation — Mixed-voltage I/O support and hot-swap-compliant I/Os (family feature) allow integration into industrial control systems and instrument front-ends.
- Secure/Protected Designs — Nonvolatile single-chip configuration and FuseLock™ secure programming support defense and secure data-handling applications.
Unique Advantages
- High Logic Density for Its Class: 2,880 logic elements and 48,000 system gates provide substantive on-chip resources without requiring external configuration memory.
- Large, Flexible I/O Count: 203 user I/Os enable complex interfacing and high-pin-count signal routing while supporting multiple voltage standards.
- Military-Grade Thermal Range: Rated from −55 °C to 125 °C for deployment in harsh-environment applications where extended temperature operation is required.
- Nonvolatile, Secure Configuration: Single-chip nonvolatile architecture and FuseLock™ secure programming reduce system complexity and protect intellectual property.
- Deterministic Timing and Testability: Family features for user-controllable timing plus IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan improve system debug, validation and production testability.
- Wide Supply Flexibility: 2.25 V to 5.25 V support and power-up/power-down friendliness simplify integration into mixed-rail systems.
