A54SX16P-VQG100M

The A54SX16P-VQG100M is a military-grade SX-A family FPGA from Microchip Technology supplied in a 100-pin thin quad flat pack (100-TQFP / 100-VQFP). It provides a nonvolatile, single-chip FPGA solution with 24,000 system gates and 1,452 logic elements suitable for high-reliability designs that require wide temperature and voltage range operation.

Designed for applications that demand secure, deterministic logic and I/O behavior, this device combines industry-oriented features—such as hot-swap-capable I/Os, configurable multi-voltage I/O support and in-system diagnostic capabilities—with a military temperature rating for deployment in harsh environments.

Key Features

• Core Capacity — 24,000 system gates with 1,452 logic elements (combinatorial/logic cells) to implement moderate-complexity digital functions.
• I/O Count & Configurability — 81 user 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 5 V drive strength where applicable.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Architecture — Device retains configuration across power cycles (nonvolatile), eliminating the need for external configuration memory.
• Performance — Series-level performance indicators include up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance (SX-A family specifications).
• Power and I/O Robustness — Hot-swap compliant I/Os and power-up/power-down friendly operation requiring no sequencing of supply voltages (SX-A family feature set).
• Security & Test — Includes Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ to protect design IP and supports IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan (JTAG) for board-level testing.
• Diagnostics — In-system diagnostic and verification capability available via the SX-A family Silicon Explorer II toolchain (family-level feature).
• Package & Mounting — 100-pin TQFP / VQFP (14 × 14 mm) surface-mount package suitable for board-level integration; RoHS compliant.
• Voltage & Temperature — Wide supply range from 3 V to 5.5 V and military operating temperature range of −55 °C to 125 °C.

Typical Applications

• Military and Aerospace Systems — Military-grade temperature rating and single-chip nonvolatile configuration make the part suitable for rugged, long-life deployments requiring wide temperature operation.
• PCI and Legacy Interface Designs — Configurable I/O supports 66 MHz PCI signaling and multiple logic voltage standards for bridging and interface control.
• Secure IP and Protected Designs — FuseLock™ secure programming technology helps protect intellectual property in systems that require in-field security.
• Embedded Control and Instrumentation — Deterministic, user-controllable timing and on-chip logic resources enable real-time control, protocol handling and sensor/interface glue logic.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile, single-chip solution: Eliminates external configuration memory and simplifies board power sequencing and BOM.
• Wide voltage flexibility: Supports mixed 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5 V operation with 5 V input tolerance, enabling easy interfacing to a variety of legacy and modern logic families.
• Military temperature rating: Rated for −55 °C to 125 °C, providing robustness for harsh-environment applications.
• Built-in security and testability: FuseLock™ secure programming and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan support aid both IP protection and manufacturing test.
• In-system diagnostics: Family-level diagnostic tools and verification capabilities streamline development and troubleshooting on deployed systems.
• Compact, industry-standard package: 100-pin TQFP/VQFP offers a compact surface-mount form factor for size-constrained boards.
