A54SX08-2FGG144

The A54SX08-2FGG144 is a commercial-grade SX family FPGA in a 144-ball fine-pitch BGA package. It provides a nonvolatile, single-chip FPGA architecture with deterministic timing and mixed-voltage I/O support suited to moderate-density programmable logic tasks.

With 12,000 system gates and 768 logic elements, the device targets commercial embedded and board-level designs that require configurable I/O, PCI compatibility, and on-chip security and diagnostic capabilities.

Key Features

• Core capacity — 12,000 system gates and 768 logic elements provide a moderate-density resource set for custom logic and glue-logic integration.
• I/O and packaging — 111 user I/Os in a 144-LBGA (FG = 1.0 mm fine-pitch BGA) package; surface-mount mounting for compact board-level integration.
• Mixed-voltage I/O and tolerance — Configurable I/O support for multiple logic levels and mixed-voltage operation; datasheet documents 5 V input tolerance and 5 V drive strength capability at the family level.
• Voltage and temperature — Wide supply range supported (3 V to 5.25 V) and commercial operating temperature rating of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Performance — Series-level performance indicators include up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance as documented for the SX-A family.
• Nonvolatile single-chip configuration — SX family devices provide nonvolatile configuration without the need for external configuration memory.
• System and board-level friendliness — Hot-swap compliant I/Os and power-up/power-down friendly behavior reduce sequencing constraints on supply rails.
• Standards and diagnostics — 66 MHz PCI compliance at the family level, IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan support, and in-system diagnostic/verification capability via Silicon Explorer II (family feature).
• Security — Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock is provided at the family level to protect designs against reverse engineering.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• PCI-based embedded systems — Use the device where 66 MHz PCI compliance and mixed-voltage, 5 V‑tolerant I/O are required on board-level logic and interface implementations.
• Hot-swap backplanes and line cards — Hot-swap compliant I/Os and power-up/power-down friendly behavior support designs that require live card insertion and removal.
• Commercial embedded control — Moderate-density logic integration for control, protocol bridging, and custom peripheral interfacing in commercial products within the 0 °C to 70 °C range.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced density for moderate designs — 12,000 system gates and 768 logic elements deliver sufficient resources for mid-sized custom logic without excess overhead.
• Compact, board-friendly package — 144-LBGA fine-pitch BGA enables a small footprint with 111 user I/Os for space-constrained PCBs.
• Flexible I/O and mixed-voltage support — Configurable I/O and family-level 5 V tolerance simplify interfacing to legacy and modern signaling standards.
• Nonvolatile, single-chip solution — Eliminates the need for external configuration memory, simplifying BOM and system design.
• Design security and testability — FuseLock security, IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan, and in-system diagnostic tools support IP protection and board-level validation.
• Commercial-grade reliability — Designed and specified for commercial operating conditions (0 °C to 70 °C) and RoHS-compliant packaging.
