A54SX16P-2VQG100

The A54SX16P-2VQG100 is a nonvolatile SX-A family FPGA provided in a 100-pin TQFP surface-mount package. It delivers a mid-range integration point with 24,000 system gates and 1,452 logic elements, and is aimed at designers needing a single-chip, reconfigurable logic solution with flexible I/O and deterministic timing.

Designed for commercial applications, the device supports mixed-voltage operation and configurable I/O standards, making it suitable for embedded control, interface bridging, and PCI-compatible systems where in-system diagnostics, security and reliable power-up behavior are important.

Key Features

• Core Capacity — 24,000 system gates and 1,452 logic elements provide a compact, deterministic logic resource pool for glue logic, control tasks and moderate-complexity functions.
• User I/O — 81 user-programmable I/O pins in the 100‑TQFP package with configurable I/O support for 3.3 V/5 V PCI, 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL and 2.5 V LVCMOS2 standards.
• Performance — Family-level performance targets include up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance for timing-critical paths.
• Voltage & Mixed-Voltage Operation — 3 V to 5.25 V supply range with support for 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5 V mixed-voltage operation; includes 5 V input tolerance and 5 V drive strength where applicable.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount 100-TQFP (14 × 14 mm supplier package) for compact board designs.
• Commercial Grade & Temperature — Commercial grade device rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation.
• Power and I/O Robustness — Hot-swap compliant I/Os and power-up/down friendly behavior that requires no supply sequencing.
• Design-for-Test & Security — Boundary-scan testing (IEEE 1149.1 JTAG) and Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock for protection of programmed designs.
• In-System Diagnostics & Deterministic Timing — Supports in-system diagnostic and verification capability (Silicon Explorer II) and user-controllable, deterministic timing; enables up to 100% resource utilization and pin locking.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• PCI-based systems — 66 MHz PCI compliance and configurable 3.3 V/5 V PCI I/O support make the device appropriate for add-in cards and host interface logic.
• Embedded control and glue logic — Mid-range gate count and 1,452 logic elements suit control, protocol adaptation, and board-level glue in compact systems.
• Mixed-voltage interfacing — Mixed-voltage operation and 5 V tolerant I/Os enable direct interfacing between legacy 5 V peripherals and modern 3.3/2.5 V logic without external translators.
• Production test & in-system verification — JTAG boundary-scan and Silicon Explorer II diagnostic capability streamline manufacturing test and field verification.
• Hot-swap and power-sensitive designs — Hot-swap compliant I/Os and power-up/-down friendly behavior reduce board-level sequencing constraints in systems that require live insertion or variable power domains.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile single-chip solution: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory, simplifying board design and startup sequencing.
• Flexible mixed-voltage I/O: Direct support for 5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V interface standards reduces BOM and eases integration with a range of peripherals.
• Deterministic resources: 1,452 logic elements and deterministic, user-controllable timing help achieve predictable behavior in control and timing-sensitive applications.
• Built-in security and test features: FuseLock programming and JTAG boundary-scan enhance IP protection and production testability.
• Production and field diagnostics: In-system diagnostic support (Silicon Explorer II) accelerates bring-up, debugging and fault isolation.
• Commercial-grade, RoHS-compliant packaging: 100‑TQFP surface-mount package provides a compact form factor that meets RoHS environmental requirements.
