A54SX16P-1PQ208

The A54SX16P-1PQ208 is a commercial-grade, nonvolatile SX-family FPGA from Microchip Technology in a 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package. It provides 24,000 system gates and 1,452 logic elements with 175 user I/Os, making it suitable for medium-density logic integration and complex I/O routing within a 0 °C to 70 °C operating range.

Designed as a single-chip, nonvolatile FPGA, the device delivers series-level capabilities including high internal performance and configurable mixed-voltage I/O support, enabling flexible interfacing and system-level integration across a wide supply range (3 V to 5.25 V).

Key Features

• Core Performance  Series-level performance includes up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance as documented for the SX-A family.
• Logic Capacity  24,000 system gates and 1,452 logic elements provide substantial combinatorial and control logic for glue logic, protocol handling, and moderate-density implementations.
• User I/O  175 user-programmable I/O pins support flexible interfacing; family features include hot-swap–compliant I/Os and configurable I/O standards for mixed-voltage designs.
• Nonvolatile, Single-Chip Configuration  SX-family nonvolatile architecture eliminates the need for external configuration memory and supports in-system programming and diagnostics.
• Voltage and Power  Operates across a 3 V to 5.25 V supply range and supports mixed-voltage operation; family-level features include power-up/power-down friendly behavior without supply sequencing.
• Package and Mounting  Supplied in a 208-BFQFP (208-PQFP, 28 × 28) surface-mount package for board-level integration in space-constrained designs.
• Commercial Temperature Grade  Rated for commercial operation from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Security and Test  Series features include secure programming technology (FuseLock™) and JTAG boundary-scan compliance for device protection and board-level testability.
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant device to support lead-free manufacturing processes.

Typical Applications

• PCI and bus interface logic  Suitable for PCI-compliant interface implementations where the SX series’ 66 MHz PCI support and configurable I/O standards aid integration.
• High-speed glue logic and protocol bridging  Use the device’s logic capacity and 175 I/Os for protocol translation, arbitration, and custom timing control in embedded systems.
• Secure and protected IP implementations  Leverage the family’s secure programming features for designs that require IP protection and in-field update control.
• Diagnostics and in-system verification  Employ the SX family’s in-system diagnostic capabilities for board-level debug and verification without removing the device from the system.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile single-chip solution: Reduces BOM count by removing external configuration memory and enables immediate configuration at power-up.
• Flexible I/O and mixed-voltage support: 175 user I/Os with family-level support for multiple I/O voltages simplifies interfacing to 3.3 V and 5 V domains.
• Strong logic density for medium-complexity designs: 24,000 system gates and 1,452 logic elements provide substantial on-chip resources for control, routing, and protocol logic.
• Design security and testability: Secure programming technology and IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan support improve IP protection and enable standardized board test flows.
• Commercial-grade reliability: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and offered in a standard 208-pin surface-mount package for widespread commercial applications.
• RoHS compliance: Supports lead-free manufacturing and regulatory requirements for commercial electronics.
