A54SX32-TQ144

The A54SX32-TQ144 is an SX-A family FPGA from Microchip Technology offering a nonvolatile, single‑chip programmable logic solution targeted at commercial embedded designs. It delivers 48,000 system gates mapped into 2,880 logic elements with 113 user I/Os in a 144‑pin LQFP/TQFP package.

This device supports mixed‑voltage I/O, a 3.0 V to 5.25 V supply range and a commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C, making it suitable for a wide range of commercial control, interface and glue‑logic applications that require in‑system programmability and secure configuration.

Key Features

• Core performance: Family-level specifications include up to 250 MHz system performance and 350 MHz internal performance for timing‑sensitive logic implementations.
• Capacity & logic: 48,000 system gates implemented as approximately 2,880 logic elements and support for dedicated flip‑flops and combinatorial cells for efficient logic mapping.
• I/O and interface flexibility: 113 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, enabling mixed‑voltage interfacing and 5 V input tolerance with 5 V drive strength.
• Package & mounting: 144‑pin package in LQFP/TQFP form factor (supplier lists 144‑TQFP 20×20); surface‑mount mounting type for compact board designs.
• Power supply & management: Operates from 3.0 V to 5.25 V and includes power‑up/down friendly behavior with no strict sequencing required for supply voltages.
• System reliability & testability: Hot‑swap compliant I/Os, configurable weak pull‑ups/pull‑downs at power‑up, individual output slew control, and IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary‑scan testing.
• Security & in‑system diagnostics: Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ for protection against reverse engineering, plus in‑system diagnostic and verification capability (Silicon Explorer II).
• Regulatory & grade: Commercial temperature grade (0 °C to 70 °C) and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Commercial embedded control: Implement glue logic, protocol conversion and control sequencing in compact commercial products that require in‑system programmability.
• PCI and bus interface cards: Use the device’s PCI‑compatible I/O and mixed‑voltage support to implement interface logic and card‑level controllers for commercial expansion modules.
• Instrumentation and test equipment: Apply deterministic timing and boundary‑scan testability to build configurable data acquisition and lab instruments.
• Secure programmable logic: Leverage FuseLock™ secure programming and in‑system diagnostics for products that require IP protection and field verification capabilities.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: 48,000 system gates and ~2,880 logic elements provide substantial integration for mid‑range commercial designs, reducing external glue logic.
• Flexible I/O voltage support: Configurable I/Os for multiple voltage standards and 5 V tolerance simplify mixed‑voltage board designs and interface requirements.
• Nonvolatile single‑chip solution: Single‑chip, nonvolatile configuration removes the need for external configuration memory and streamlines power‑up behavior.
• Built‑in test and security: JTAG boundary‑scan, in‑system diagnostics and FuseLock™ help protect IP and simplify production test and field diagnostics.
• Compact package: 144‑pin LQFP/TQFP surface‑mount package with 113 usable I/Os enables dense, board‑space efficient implementations.
• RoHS compliant: Environmentally compliant manufacturing status for easier integration into commercial product supply chains.
