A54SX08-FG144

The A54SX08-FG144 is a commercial-grade, nonvolatile SX family FPGA provided in a 144-ball fine-pitch BGA package. It delivers reconfigurable logic with 12,000 system gates and 768 logic elements for compact embedded designs that require configurable I/O and deterministic timing.

Designed for mixed-voltage applications, the device supports a wide supply range and a configurable I/O set suitable for PCI and common logic standards, making it appropriate for controller, interface, and glue-logic roles in commercial electronic systems.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  12,000 system gates and 768 logic elements (combinatorial cells) to implement glue logic, control functions, and modest reconfigurable designs.
• User I/O  111 user-programmable I/O pins in the 144-LBGA package with configurable pull-up/pull-down on power-up and hot-swap compliant I/Os.
• Mixed-Voltage I/O  Configurable I/O support for 3.3 V / 5 V PCI, 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL and 2.5 V LVCMOS2; supports 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5 V mixed-voltage operation with 5 V input tolerance and 5 V drive strength.
• Performance (SX-A family)  Family-level performance targets include up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Solution  Nonvolatile configuration on a single chip; includes Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ for anti-reverse-engineering protection.
• Package and Mounting  144-LBGA (supplier package: 144-FPBGA 13×13), surface-mount package suitable for space-constrained boards.
• Supply and Temperature  Voltage supply range 3 V to 5.25 V and commercial operating temperature 0 °C to 70 °C.
• System and Test Support  Boundary-scan testing compliant with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) and power-up/power-down friendly behavior without required supply sequencing.

Typical Applications

• PCI Interface and Bridge Logic  Configurable I/O and 66 MHz PCI compliance at the family level enable implementation of PCI glue logic and interface adaptation in commercial systems.
• Mixed-Voltage Interface  Supports multiple I/O standards and mixed-voltage operation, allowing the device to act as a level-translating interface between 5 V and lower-voltage domains.
• Control and Glue Logic  Provides reconfigurable combinatorial and sequential logic for control sequencing, state machines, and board-level glue logic with deterministic timing control.
• In-System Diagnostics and Verification  Supports in-system diagnostic and verification capabilities as provided by the SX family tooling referenced in the datasheet for design debug and validation.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, Reconfigurable Integration  Delivers 12,000 gates and 768 logic elements in a low-profile 144-LBGA, reducing BOM count and board area compared with discrete logic implementations.
• Flexible I/O Voltage Support  Multiple supported I/O standards and 5 V tolerance reduce the need for external level shifters and simplify mixed-voltage designs.
• Nonvolatile Security  On-chip nonvolatile configuration and FuseLock™ programming technology help protect design IP from reverse engineering.
• Testability and System Integration  IEEE-1149.1 boundary-scan support and power-up/power-down friendly behavior streamline system test and field integration.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance  Commercial grade (0 °C to 70 °C) operation and RoHS-compliant construction for standard commercial product lifecycles and regulatory preference.
• Deterministic Timing Control  Family-level deterministic, user-controllable timing features support predictable behavior in timing-sensitive designs.

Why Choose A54SX08-FG144?
