A54SX16A-2TQG100

The A54SX16A-2TQG100 is a commercial-grade SX-A family FPGA offered by Microchip Technology. It provides a nonvolatile, single-chip FPGA architecture with 24,000 system gates and 1,452 logic elements, designed for embedded control, interface logic and mid-complexity digital implementations.

This device supports flexible multi-voltage I/O and a wide supply range (2.25 V to 5.25 V), along with boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) and in-system diagnostics, making it suitable for applications that require retained configuration, configurable I/O, and deterministic timing behavior across standard commercial temperature ranges (0 °C to 70 °C).

Key Features

• Core Capacity  24,000 system gates and 1,452 logic elements provide a mid-range resource set for glue logic, control state machines and peripheral integration.
• Performance  Datasheet family performance examples include up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance for the SX-A family.
• I/O and Voltage Flexibility  81 user I/Os with configurable I/O support for multiple standards; device-level supply range is 2.25 V to 5.25 V enabling mixed-voltage designs and 5 V input tolerance as specified in the family datasheet.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Configuration  Nonvolatile architecture preserves configuration without external configuration memory, simplifying power-up behavior and system design.
• System Integration Features  Boundary-scan testing (IEEE 1149.1) and in-system diagnostic/verification capability support manufacturing test and field diagnostics.
• Security  Includes Actel Secure Programming Technology (FuseLock™) as described in the family datasheet to protect bitstream confidentiality.
• Package & Mounting  Packaged for surface-mount applications in a 100-pin LQFP (supplier designation: 100-TQFP, 14 × 14), suited for compact PCB layouts.
• Compliance & Environmental  RoHS compliant to support environmental regulations for lead-free assemblies.
• Operating Range  Commercial temperature grade with specified operating temperature from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Embedded Memory  No on-chip RAM bits (total RAM bits: 0) as specified for this device variant.

Typical Applications

• PCI and Peripheral Interfaces  Leverage family-level PCI compliance and multi-voltage I/O support for 3.3 V / 5 V interface designs and peripheral bridging.
• Embedded Control and Glue Logic  Use the 1,452 logic elements and 24,000 system gates to implement control state machines, bus adapters and system glue functions.
• Board-Level Diagnostics and Test  Boundary-scan capability and in-system diagnostics help simplify manufacturing test and field verification workflows.
• Secure Configuration Systems  Nonvolatile configuration with FuseLock™ supports designs that require retained configuration and bitstream protection.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile, single-chip FPGA: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory and reduces BOM complexity for designs requiring retained configuration.
• Flexible I/O voltage support: Wide supply range (2.25 V–5.25 V) and 5 V input tolerance enable mixed-voltage interfacing without extra level-shifters in many cases.
• Built-in testability: IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan and in-system diagnostic features streamline production test and field troubleshooting.
• Security features: FuseLock™ secure programming technology provides protection against unauthorized bitstream access.
• Compact surface-mount package: 100-pin LQFP (supplier 100-TQFP 14×14) balances I/O count and board area for compact system designs.
• RoHS compliant: Supports lead-free assembly processes and environmental compliance requirements.
