A54SX32-TQG144

The A54SX32-TQG144 is a member of the SX-A family of nonvolatile, single-chip FPGAs from Microchip Technology. It provides a mid-range logic capacity with 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements, packaged in a 144-pin thin/LQFP form factor for surface-mount assembly.

Designed for commercial-temperature applications, this FPGA targets embedded control, I/O-intensive designs and systems that benefit from reprogrammable logic with configurable I/O and deterministic timing. Key value comes from its nonvolatile configuration, mixed-voltage I/O support and solid package and electrical specifications for rapid integration.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements to implement mid-range custom logic, glue logic, and state machines.
• I/O Count & Configurability — 113 user I/O pins in the 144-pin package; family-level I/O supports multiple standards and mixed-voltage operation for flexible interfacing.
• Voltage Supply — Operates from 3 V to 5.25 V, enabling compatibility with a range of legacy and modern I/O voltage domains.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Solution — Built-in nonvolatile configuration removes the need for external configuration memory, simplifying BOM and PCB layout.
• Performance (Family) — SX-A family performance characteristics include up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance as documented for the family devices.
• Package & Mounting — 144-pin LQFP package (also referenced as 144-TQFP, 20 × 20 mm) in a surface-mount form factor suited for production assembly.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operating temperature for commercial applications.
• No On-Chip RAM — Total on-chip RAM bits: 0, for designs that rely on logic elements and external memory if required.
• Standards & Test — Family-level features include boundary-scan testing compliant with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) and secure programming technology to protect bitstream confidentiality.
• RoHS Compliant — Device is RoHS compliant for environmental and regulatory requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control Logic — Implement custom control kernels, state machines, and real-time decision logic within commercial-temperature automation equipment.
• I/O Expansion and Protocol Bridging — Use the configurable I/O and 113 user pins to bridge buses, translate protocols, or implement multi-voltage interfaces.
• Embedded System Glue Logic — Replace discrete glue logic with reprogrammable logic for board-level integration and simplified BOM.
• Prototyping and Low- to Mid-Volume Production — Nonvolatile configuration and surface-mount packaging make it suitable for iterative designs and production runs where in-field reprogramming is beneficial.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile Configuration: Eliminates the need for external configuration memories, reducing component count and simplifying board layout.
• Flexible I/O Voltage Support: Wide supply range (3 V to 5.25 V) and family-level multi-voltage I/O support allow interfacing with legacy 5 V systems as well as 3.3 V domains.
• Deterministic Timing and Performance: Family-documented system and internal performance characteristics provide predictable timing for control and communication tasks.
• Surface-Mount 144-LQFP Package: Compact 144-pin package supports moderate pin density while remaining straightforward to assemble on production PCBs.
• Security and Testability: Boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) and secure programming features help protect designs and simplify board-level testing.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets environmental compliance requirements for modern manufacturing and supply chains.
