Designed for applications that require on-chip nonvolatile configuration, deterministic timing control and flexible I/O, this commercial-grade device delivers a balance of logic capacity, performance and system-level features for embedded designs and interface logic roles.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 24,000 system gates with 1,452 logic elements, enabling mid-density combinational and sequential logic implementations.
• I/O and Voltage Support  81 user I/O pins with configurable I/O options; supports mixed-voltage operation and a supply range of 3 V to 5.25 V as indicated in the family datasheet.
• Performance  SX-A family performance indicators include up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance as published in the device family documentation.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Configuration  Nonvolatile, single-chip solution simplifies system design by eliminating the need for external configuration memory.
• Security and IP Protection  Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ prevents reverse engineering and protects design IP (as described in the family datasheet).
• System and I/O Reliability  Hot-swap compliant I/Os and power-up/power-down friendly operation (no sequencing required for supply voltages) for robust system integration.
• Test and Debug  Boundary-scan testing compliant with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) and in-system diagnostic capability described in the family documentation.
• Package and Mounting  100-TQFP (14 × 14) surface-mount package; supplier device package listed as 100-VQFP (14 × 14).
• Commercial Temperature Grade  Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation; device grade is Commercial.
• Environmental  RoHS compliant.
• Embedded Memory  No on-chip RAM (0 total RAM bits) as indicated in the product data.

Typical Applications

• PCI Interface and Glue Logic  66 MHz PCI compliance in the SX-A family makes this device suitable for PCI-compliant interface logic and bridging functions.
• Mixed-Voltage I/O Control  Configurable I/O and wide supply range allow the device to serve as level translation, I/O aggregation or interface control between 3.3 V and 5 V domains.
• Nonvolatile Configuration Systems  Use where single-chip, nonvolatile configuration is required to simplify board-level design and startup behavior.
• Secure IP and Protected Logic  Designs requiring hardware-level IP protection and anti-reverse-engineering measures can leverage FuseLock™ secure programming technology.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Mid-Density Logic:  Approximately 24,000 gates and 1,452 logic elements provide a practical trade-off between capacity and package size for embedded and interface functions.
• Flexible I/O and Voltage Compatibility:  Configurable I/O support and a 3 V to 5.25 V supply range make it straightforward to integrate with mixed-voltage systems.
• Nonvolatile, Single-Chip Design:  Eliminates dependence on external configuration memory, simplifying BOM and board layout.
• Security Built In:  FuseLock™ secure programming technology helps protect design IP against reverse engineering.
• Robust System Features:  Hot-swap compliant I/Os and no required supply sequencing reduce integration risk in systems with complex power domains.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package:  100-TQFP in a 14 × 14 footprint supports compact board designs while providing 81 user I/Os.
