A54SX16P-VQ100

The A54SX16P-VQ100 is a commercial-grade SX family FPGA from Microchip Technology supplied in a 100-pin VQFP (14 × 14) surface-mount package. It provides 24,000 system gates with 1,452 logic elements, and 81 user I/Os, making it suitable for compact embedded designs that require nonvolatile, single-chip programmable logic.

Designed for mixed-voltage systems, the device supports a wide supply range and configurable I/O behavior, enabling integration with 5 V and 3.3 V environments while keeping board count and system complexity low.

Key Features

• Core Capacity  Approximately 24,000 system gates and 1,452 logic elements (logic cells) provide medium-density programmable logic for glue logic, protocol adaptation, and control functions.
• User I/O  81 user-programmable I/Os with configurable I/O standards and per-pin options such as weak pull-up/pull-down selection at power-up and individual output slew-rate control.
• Voltage Range & Mixed-Voltage Support  Operates from 3 V to 5.25 V, enabling mixed-voltage designs and 5 V-tolerant interfacing where needed.
• Performance (SX-A Family)  SX-A family performance characteristics include up to 250 MHz system performance and 350 MHz internal performance (family-level specification).
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Solution  Nonvolatile device architecture removes the need for external configuration memory, simplifying power-up behavior and system design.
• Built-in Test & Debug  Boundary-scan testing compliant with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) and family support for in-system diagnostic/verification tools provide testability and debug capability.
• Security  Family-level secure programming technology (FuseLock) protects designs against reverse engineering and unauthorized readback.
• Package & Mounting  100-pin VQFP (14 × 14) surface-mount package suitable for space-constrained PCBs; RoHS compliant.
• Operating Conditions  Commercial temperature grade with an operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control  Implement control state machines, protocol handlers, and glue logic for compact embedded systems using the device’s 1,452 logic elements and 81 I/Os.
• Interface Bridging  Bridge between 5 V legacy interfaces and modern 3.3 V logic with mixed-voltage I/O support and 5 V input tolerance.
• Consumer Electronics  Replace discrete logic in consumer products to reduce BOM and enable flexible in-field updates via the FPGA’s nonvolatile configuration.
• Data Acquisition & I/O Aggregation  Aggregate and condition multiple sensor or digital signals in a small footprint using the device’s programmable I/O resources.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, Nonvolatile Integration: Combines nonvolatile configuration memory with FPGA logic to eliminate external configuration components and simplify system power sequencing.
• Mixed-Voltage Flexibility: 3 V to 5.25 V supply range and configurable I/O standards allow direct interfacing to a variety of legacy and modern peripherals.
• Rich I/O Count in a Small Package: 81 user I/Os in a 100-pin VQFP (14 × 14) give designers substantial connectivity without a large package.
• Design Security: FuseLock-style secure programming protects intellectual property and blocks unauthorized readback of the programmed design.
• Testability & Diagnostics: IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan and family-level in-system diagnostic capabilities improve production test coverage and troubleshooting speed.
• RoHS Compliance: Lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction supports modern manufacturing and environmental requirements.
