A54SX16A-1PQ208I

The A54SX16A-1PQ208I is an SX-A family Field Programmable Gate Array in a 208-pin PQFP/BFQFP package. It delivers a nonvolatile, single-chip FPGA solution with 24,000 system gates, 1,452 logic elements and up to 175 user I/Os for mixed-voltage embedded designs.

Designed for industrial-temperature operation and flexible I/O support, this device targets system glue logic, interface bridging and control applications that benefit from in-system programmability, deterministic timing and built-in security features.

Key Features

• Capacity — 24,000 system gates and 1,452 logic elements provide mid-range logic density for logic consolidation and programmable glue logic.
• Performance — SX-A family performance characteristics include up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance; this specific device is a “-1” speed grade (approximately 15% faster than standard).
• I/O and Interface Flexibility — 175 user-programmable I/Os with configurable support for multiple voltage standards and hot-swap–compliant I/Os to simplify mixed-voltage interface designs.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Architecture — On-chip nonvolatile configuration avoids external configuration memory and supports power-up/power-down–friendly operation without strict supply sequencing.
• Voltage and Temperature Range — Wide supply range (2.25 V to 5.25 V) and industrial operating temperature rating (-40 °C to +85 °C) for robust deployment in industrial environments.
• Package — Available in a 208-pin PQFP (208-BFQFP / 208-PQFP 28×28) package for high I/O count in a standard surface-mount form factor.
• System Reliability & Test — Supports IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan (JTAG) for board-level testability and includes in-system diagnostics and verification capability (Silicon Explorer II).
• Security — Actel Secure Programming Technology including FuseLock™ to protect programmed designs from reverse engineering.
• Standards Support — 66 MHz PCI compliance and configurable I/O for common bus/logic voltage levels, enabling use in legacy and mixed-voltage systems.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control Systems — Implement custom control logic and I/O aggregation with industrial temperature support and a wide supply voltage range.
• Interface Bridging and Legacy Bus Support — Use configurable I/Os and PCI compliance to implement protocol bridging, bus interfaces and mixed-voltage level translation.
• In-System Programmable Glue Logic — Consolidate discrete glue components into a single nonvolatile FPGA to simplify board designs and reduce component count.

Unique Advantages

• Mid-range Integration: 24,000 system gates and 1,452 logic elements enable consolidation of multiple discrete functions onto one device, reducing BOM and board complexity.
• Flexible I/O: 175 user I/Os with configurable voltage support and hot-swap capability enable direct interfacing to a wide range of peripherals and buses.
• Nonvolatile Configuration: Single-chip, nonvolatile architecture eliminates the need for external configuration memory and simplifies power sequencing.
• Deterministic Timing: User-controllable timing characteristics support reliable, repeatable timing behavior for critical control and interface paths.
• Security and Testability: Built-in FuseLock programming security and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan support improve IP protection and board-level test coverage.
• Industrial Readiness: Rated for -40 °C to +85 °C and wide supply voltage operation (2.25 V–5.25 V) for deployment in demanding environments.
