A54SX16P-VQG100

The A54SX16P-VQG100 is a commercial-grade SX family FPGA supplied in a 100-pin TQFP/VQFP package and designed for surface-mount applications. It provides approximately 24,000 system gates mapped to about 1,452 logic elements and offers 81 user I/Os for compact, reprogrammable logic implementations.

As part of the SX-A family, the device inherits family-level capabilities such as nonvolatile single-chip configuration, configurable I/O voltage support, and on-board features for in-system diagnostics and boundary-scan testing—making it suitable for commercial electronic systems that require flexible mixed-voltage interfacing and secure programmable logic.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Approximately 24,000 system gates implemented across about 1,452 logic elements for mid-range programmable logic tasks.
• User I/O — 81 user-programmable I/O pins enabling diverse I/O requirements in a compact 100-pin TQFP package.
• Package & Mounting — 100-TQFP (supplier package: 100-VQFP, 14×14) for low-profile surface-mount PCB designs.
• Voltage Flexibility — Supports a 3 V to 5.25 V supply range and family-level configurable I/O options for multiple logic standards, enabling mixed-voltage system interfacing.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for operation from 0 °C to 70 °C for standard commercial applications.
• Nonvolatile, Single-Chip Configuration — SX-A family capability for single-chip nonvolatile configuration simplifies system boot and removes the need for external configuration memory.
• No Embedded SRAM — Total on-chip RAM bits: 0; architecture focused on configurable logic and I/O rather than embedded RAM.
• Design-for-Test and Security — Family features include boundary-scan testing (IEEE 1149.1/JTAG) and Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock for design protection and in-system verification tools such as Silicon Explorer II.
• Standards & Performance (Family) — SX-A family specifications include PCI support and deterministic timing; refer to family documentation for detailed performance and speed-grade options.
• RoHS Compliant — Device is RoHS compliant for reduced environmental impact.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement custom logic, protocol bridging, or control functions where a commercial-temperature FPGA with modest gate and I/O counts is required.
• Mixed-Voltage Interface Design — Use configurable I/O support to bridge and interface components operating across 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V domains.
• PCI and Bus Interface Logic — Leverage family-level PCI compliance for bus-interface glue logic and custom peripheral implementations in PCI-based platforms.
• In-System Diagnostics & Prototyping — Utilize the SX family’s in-system diagnostic and verification capabilities for board-level debugging and production validation.

Unique Advantages

• Right-sized Logic for Mid-range Designs: Approximately 24,000 gates and ~1,452 logic elements provide a balance of capacity and cost for commercial applications.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Packaging: 100-TQFP/VQFP packaging with 81 I/Os enables dense PCB layouts while maintaining ample external connectivity.
• Flexible Supply and I/O Voltage Range: 3 V to 5.25 V operation and family-configurable I/O standards simplify integration into mixed-voltage systems.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Solution: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory, reducing BOM and simplifying system boot flow.
• Testability and Security Built In: Boundary-scan (JTAG) support and FuseLock secure programming help protect IP and support production test flows.
• RoHS Compliance: Environmentally compliant manufacturing for commercial product lines.
