A54SX16P-1PQ208I

The A54SX16P-1PQ208I is a nonvolatile SX family FPGA in a 208-pin PQFP surface-mount package, designed for industrial applications. It provides approximately 24,000 system gates and 1,452 logic elements with up to 175 user I/Os, making it suitable for medium-density control, interface and system-logic tasks.

Built for flexible mixed-voltage operation and deterministic timing, this device supports 3.0–5.5 V supplies and operates across an industrial temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C. Family-level characteristics include high internal performance (up to 350 MHz) and system-level performance up to 250 MHz, enabling responsive system and interface designs.

Key Features

• Core Performance  Family-level performance indicators include up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance for demanding timing paths.
• Logic Capacity  Approximately 24,000 system gates realized as 1,452 logic elements (combinatorial cells) and dedicated flip-flops for implementing mid-range logic functions.
• I/O Flexibility  Up to 175 user-programmable I/O pins with configurable I/O support for 3.3 V / 5 V PCI, 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL and 2.5 V LVCMOS2; supports 5 V input tolerance and selectable drive strength.
• Voltage and Power  Supports mixed-voltage operation across 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5 V domains with a stated supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V and power-up/down friendly behavior (no sequencing required for supply voltages).
• Package & Mounting  208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (208-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for standard board assembly workflows.
• Industrial Temperature Grade  Rated for industrial operation from −40 °C to +85 °C.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Solution  Single-chip, nonvolatile architecture eliminates external configuration memory for simplified system design and boot behavior.
• System Reliability & Test  Supports IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan (JTAG) and family-level in-system diagnostic/verification capabilities.
• Security & IP Protection  Family security features include Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ to help protect designs from reverse engineering.
• Standards & Interface Support  Family-level support for 66 MHz PCI signaling and hot-swap compliant I/Os for systems requiring live board insertion or PCI interfacing.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Implement machine control logic, custom interfaces and deterministic control paths within industrial equipment operating across industrial temperature ranges.
• Embedded System Glue Logic  Replace or consolidate discrete logic and CPLDs to implement bus interfacing, protocol conversion and system glue for mixed-voltage designs.
• PCI and Interface Subsystems  Leverage 66 MHz PCI compliance and configurable I/Os to implement PCI interface logic and mid-density I/O subsystems.
• Board-Level Diagnostics & Test  Use boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) and in-system diagnostic capabilities to support manufacturing test and field verification.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile, single-chip FPGA: Reduces BOM by eliminating external configuration memory and simplifies system startup and deployment.
• Mixed-voltage I/O support: Flexible I/O levels and 5 V tolerance simplify integration with legacy and modern logic families without external level shifters.
• Industrial temperature rating: Specified −40 °C to +85 °C for reliable operation in industrial environments.
• Deterministic timing and high internal performance: Family-level internal performance up to 350 MHz and deterministic timing enable predictable, high-speed designs.
• Built-in test and security: Boundary-scan support and Secure Programming Technology (FuseLock™) enhance manufacturability and protect IP on deployed hardware.
• Compact, surface-mount package: 208-PQFP package provides a mid-density footprint appropriate for space-conscious PCBs with high I/O counts.
