A54SX32A-1BGG329

The A54SX32A-1BGG329 is a member of the SX-A family of nonvolatile single-chip FPGAs from Microchip Technology. It delivers approximately 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements with up to 249 user-programmable I/Os, packaged in a 329-ball BGA.

Designed for commercial embedded designs that require flexible I/O, mixed-voltage support and nonvolatile configuration, the device combines deterministic timing and hardware security features from the SX-A family with a wide supply-voltage operating range and RoHS-compliant packaging.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements support moderate-complexity glue logic and control functions.
• User I/O  Up to 249 user-programmable I/O pins provide extensive interface options for peripherals, sensors and buses.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Architecture  Series-level SX-A family capability: single-chip nonvolatile configuration eliminates external configuration memory and simplifies system startup.
• Flexible I/O Voltage Support  Series-level configurable I/O supports multiple interface voltages and modes; device supply range is 2.25 V to 5.25 V for mixed-voltage designs.
• Performance  Series-level SX-A performance characteristics include high internal and system frequency targets, suitable for demanding timing needs within the family’s specified grades.
• Security & Test  Series-level features include boundary-scan (JTAG) support and Actel Secure Programming Technology (FuseLock™) for design protection and in-system verification.
• Package & Mounting  329-ball BGA package (Supplier package: 329-PBGA (31x31)), surface-mount mounting for compact board-level integration.
• Commercial Temperature Grade  Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation, suitable for commercial-grade embedded products.
• Regulatory  RoHS-compliant packaging.
• On-Chip Memory  Total on-chip RAM bits: 0 (device provides logic and flip-flop resources without embedded RAM).

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control and Glue Logic  Use the FPGA’s 2,880 logic elements and 249 I/Os to consolidate discrete glue logic, protocol translation and control functions on a single chip.
• Interface and Peripheral Concentration  High I/O count and mixed-voltage support enable integration of multiple peripheral interfaces and level translation tasks in commercial systems.
• PCI-Related and High-Speed I/O  Series-level support for PCI signaling and high internal/system performance make the device suitable for board-level interfacing and bus bridging in commercial applications.
• Security-Sensitive Designs  Built-in programming protection and in-system diagnostic capabilities help protect IP and support field verification workflows.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile, single-chip solution: Eliminates external configuration memory, simplifying BOM and board layout.
• High I/O density: 249 user I/Os provide flexibility to connect multiple peripherals without additional interface chips.
• Wide supply-voltage compatibility: 2.25 V to 5.25 V device supply supports mixed-voltage designs and diverse I/O standards.
• Commercial temperature suitability: Rated 0 °C to 70 °C to match commercial embedded product requirements.
• Package suited for dense designs: 329-ball BGA (329-PBGA (31x31)) offers a compact, high-pin-count footprint for space-constrained boards.
• RoHS compliance: Packaging meets RoHS requirements for lead-free assembly and environmental compliance.
