A54SX32-PQ208

The A54SX32-PQ208 is a commercial-grade SX family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package. It combines a nonvolatile single-chip FPGA architecture with a mid-range logic capacity and flexible I/O support for commercial embedded and interface applications.

Designed for applications that require deterministic timing, configurable mixed-voltage I/O and hardware security options, this device provides 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements with 174 user I/O pins in a 28×28 208-pin package.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements (cells), enabling mid-range integration of custom logic functions.
• I/O and Mixed-Voltage Support — 174 user I/Os 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 mixed-voltage operation with 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5 V domains and 5 V input tolerance.
• Performance — Family-level performance indicators include up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance for timing-critical designs.
• Nonvolatile, Single-Chip Architecture — On-chip nonvolatile configuration removes the need for external configuration memory and simplifies system power-up behavior.
• I/O Reliability and Flexibility — Hot-swap compliant I/Os and configurable weak pull-up/pull-down on I/O at power-up; individual output slew-rate control for signal integrity tuning.
• Security and Testability — Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock for protection against reverse engineering and boundary-scan testing compliant with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG).
• Deterministic Timing and Resource Control — Deterministic, user-controllable timing with features that allow up to 100% resource utilization and 100% pin locking for predictable placement and routing.
• Package, Power and Environmental — Surface-mount 208-BFQFP (supplier package 208-PQFP, 28×28); supply voltage range 3.0 V to 5.25 V; operating temperature 0 °C to 70 °C; RoHS compliant.
• Diagnostic Capability — In-system diagnostic and verification capability via Silicon Explorer II (family feature) to aid debugging and validation.
• No Embedded RAM — Total on-chip RAM bits: 0 (device provides flip-flop based storage rather than embedded RAM blocks).

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement custom control logic, protocol handling or peripheral glue in consumer and commercial products where a commercial temperature grade is acceptable.
• Interface Bridging and Protocol Conversion — Use the configurable mixed-voltage I/Os to bridge between different logic levels and implement interface translation for legacy or mixed-voltage subsystems.
• PC/Peripheral Logic — Support for 66 MHz PCI and 5 V-tolerant I/Os makes the device suitable for legacy PCI-related glue logic and peripheral interface tasks.
• In-System Validation and Prototyping — Built-in diagnostics and boundary-scan support facilitate in-system verification and iterative development of hardware designs.

Unique Advantages

• Highly Integrated Logic Density: 48,000 gates and 2,880 logic elements deliver substantial on-chip combinatorial and sequential resources for mid-range designs, reducing external component count.
• Flexible Mixed-Voltage I/O: Configurable I/O standards and 5 V input tolerance simplify interfacing to a wide range of legacy and modern logic families.
• Nonvolatile Configuration: Single-chip nonvolatile architecture removes external configuration memory, simplifying board design and improving power-up behavior.
• Predictable Timing and Full Resource Use: Deterministic timing controls and support for up to 100% resource utilization and pin locking give designers predictable placement, routing and timing closure.
• Security and Test Built In: FuseLock secure programming and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan support protect IP and enable standard test methodologies.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance: Commercial-grade operation (0 °C to 70 °C) and RoHS compliance meet common commercial product requirements.

Why Choose A54SX32-PQ208?
