A54SX32-1PQG208

The A54SX32-1PQG208 is a commercial-grade SX family FPGA from Microchip Technology, delivered in a 208-pin PQFP/BFQFP surface-mount package. It provides a nonvolatile, single-chip FPGA solution with 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements for mid-density programmable-logic designs.

Designed for commercial embedded and PCI-capable applications, this device combines configurable, hot-swap‑compliant I/Os with deterministic timing and security features to support system integration where mixed-voltage I/O, reliable configuration, and moderate performance are required.

Key Features

• Core Performance System performance up to 250 MHz and internal performance up to 350 MHz as defined for the SX-A family; this part includes the –1 speed grade, which is approximately 15% faster than standard.
• Logic Capacity 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements, with up to 2,012 dedicated flip-flops for implementing mid-density logic and control functions.
• I/O Flexibility 174 user-programmable I/Os with hot-swap compliance, configurable for 3.3 V/5 V PCI, 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL and 2.5 V LVCMOS2. I/Os support 5 V input tolerance and 5 V drive strength, plus configurable weak pull-up/pull-down and per‑output slew-rate control.
• Power and Voltage Operates from 3 V to 5.25 V and is power-up/power-down friendly with no required supply sequencing.
• Package and Mounting 208-pin PQFP/BFQFP surface-mount package (supplier device package listed as 208‑PQFP (28x28)); RoHS compliant packaging.
• Temperature and Grade Commercial temperature grade, specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation.
• Configuration, Security and Test Nonvolatile single-chip configuration, IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan support, and Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ to help protect designs against reverse engineering.
• System and Design Control Deterministic, user-controllable timing, support for up to 100% resource utilization and full pin locking, plus in-system diagnostic and verification capability.
• On-Chip Memory Total RAM bits: 0 (no embedded RAM bits reported for this device).

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Control Programmable control logic for consumer and commercial products that require nonvolatile configuration and deterministic timing within a 0 °C to 70 °C operating window.
• PCI and Interface Bridging I/O configurability and 66 MHz PCI compliance support designs that implement PCI-facing glue logic and interface translation where mixed-voltage signaling is required.
• Instrumentation and Test Equipment Mid-density programmable logic suitable for control, timing, and I/O aggregation tasks in benchtop instrumentation and automated test systems.
• User Interface and Peripheral Control Handles glue logic, peripheral interfacing, and timing-critical UI control using available logic elements and plentiful I/O.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile, single-chip configuration: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory, simplifying system BOM and boot behavior.
• Versatile mixed-voltage I/O: Broad I/O support (2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5 V) with 5 V tolerance simplifies interfacing to legacy and modern peripherals without level translators.
• Secure programming: FuseLock™ secure programming helps protect IP and prevent unauthorized readback or reverse engineering.
• Deterministic timing control: User-controllable timing and full pin locking support designs that require predictable timing closure and reproducible behavior.
• Commercial-grade reliability: Specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation with RoHS-compliant packaging for standard commercial deployments.
