A54SX32-CQ208

The A54SX32-CQ208 is a commercial-grade SX-series FPGA from Microchip Technology designed for compact, board-level programmable logic. It delivers 48,000 system gates implemented as approximately 2,880 logic elements with 174 user-programmable I/Os in a 208-pin BFCQFP package with tie bar.

Engineered for mixed-voltage embedded systems, this device supports 3 V to 5.25 V supply ranges, RoHS-compliant manufacturing, and surface-mount assembly. It is suited to applications that require deterministic timing, secure in-system programmability, and flexible I/O options.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Approximately 48,000 system gates implemented as 2,880 logic elements, suitable for medium-complexity programmable logic designs.
• I/O and Package — 174 user I/Os in a 208-BFCQFP (with tie bar) surface-mount package; supplier package reference 208-CQFP (75×75).
• Voltage Range — Operates from 3 V to 5.25 V, enabling mixed-voltage system integration and compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operating temperature for standard commercial applications.
• Secure Programming — Family-level secure programming technology (FuseLock) to help protect design IP and prevent reverse engineering.
• Power-Up/Down Friendly — No special supply sequencing required for power-up or power-down, simplifying system power management.
• Deterministic Timing and Testability — Deterministic, user-controllable timing and support for boundary-scan (JTAG) for test and validation.
• Standards and Compliance — RoHS-compliant material status and surface-mount package for modern assembly flows.

Typical Applications

• PCI and bus interface control — Use the device’s configurable I/O voltage support to implement 3.3 V or 5 V PCI and other bus interface logic.
• Embedded system glue logic — Implement protocol bridging, address decoding, and custom peripheral interfaces where compact programmable logic is required.
• Secure programmable logic — Protect confidential IP in field-upgradable designs using the family’s secure programming features.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced capacity and I/O — 48,000 system gates with 174 I/Os provide a strong balance between logic density and board-level connectivity.
• Flexible supply integration — 3 V to 5.25 V supply range and configurable I/O voltage support reduce the need for level translators in mixed-voltage systems.
• Simplified power sequencing — No required supply sequencing eases system power-up and reduces integration risk.
• IP protection — Built-in secure programming (FuseLock) helps protect design IP and reduce reverse-engineering risk.
• Test and verification ready — Boundary-scan (JTAG) support and deterministic timing aid in-system diagnostics and production test.
• RoHS-compliant, surface-mount package — Modern assembly compatibility with a 208-pin CQFP package and tie bar for handling.
