A54SX16A-1PQ208

The A54SX16A-1PQ208 is a commercial-grade SX-A family FPGA from Microchip Technology provided in a 208-pin BFQFP/PQFP package. This nonvolatile, single-chip FPGA integrates approximately 24,000 system gates and 1,452 logic elements with 175 user I/Os, targeting designers who need a configurable, mixed-voltage I/O solution in a surface-mount package.

Built on the SX-A family architecture, the device supports family-level performance characteristics such as up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance, configurable I/O standards, and secure programming features for designs that require in-system reconfiguration and verification.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Approximately 24,000 system gates and 1,452 logic elements provide mid-range programmable logic density for control, glue-logic and moderate-complexity functions.
• User I/O — 175 user-programmable I/O pins in a 208-pin package with configurable I/O support for mixed-voltage operation (2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5 V) and 5 V input tolerance as documented for the SX-A family.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Solution — SX-A family architecture provides nonvolatile configuration on-chip, enabling single-chip FPGA deployment without external configuration memory.
• Performance (Family-Level) — SX-A family data indicate up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance for timing-critical designs.
• Power and Voltage — Supports supply voltages from 2.25 V to 5.25 V to accommodate mixed-voltage board environments; power-up/down friendly with no sequencing required for supply voltages (family-level).
• Package and Mounting — 208-BFQFP (supplier device package 208-PQFP, 28 × 28 mm) in a surface-mount form factor suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation.
• Connectivity & Test — Family supports boundary-scan testing in compliance with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) and includes in-system diagnostic and verification capability.
• Security — SX-A family includes secure programming technology (FuseLock) to help prevent reverse engineering and design theft.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.
• On-Chip Memory — No embedded RAM bits (Total RAM Bits: 0) in this device.

Typical Applications

• PCI-compliant interfaces — Suitable for 66 MHz PCI-compliant designs where configurable I/O and mixed-voltage support are required (family-level PCI compliance).
• Hot-swap and power-sensitive systems — Use in systems that require hot-swap compliant I/Os and power-up/down friendly behavior (family-level capability).
• In-system diagnostic and verification — Integration where in-system diagnostics and boundary-scan (JTAG) testing improve board-level testability and field diagnostics.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated nonvolatile configuration: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory, simplifying BOM and board routing for single-chip FPGA deployment.
• Mixed-voltage I/O flexibility: Configurable I/O standards and 5 V tolerance at inputs enable direct interfacing with a range of legacy and modern logic levels.
• Compact, surface-mount package: The 208-pin BFQFP/PQFP package delivers 175 I/Os in a footprint suitable for high-density board designs.
• Security and IP protection: FuseLock secure programming technology reduces risk of reverse engineering and protects design IP.
• Industry-standard test support: IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan support and in-system verification features streamline manufacturing and field testing.
• RoHS compliance: Aligns with lead-free manufacturing and environmental requirements.
