A54SX32A-1CQ208M

The A54SX32A-1CQ208M is a military-grade SX-A family FPGA from Microchip Technology. It provides a deterministic, single-chip FPGA solution tailored for high-reliability embedded systems that require defined timing, broad I/O connectivity and operation across extreme temperatures.

Built on the HiRel SX-A architecture, this device offers 48,000 system gates, approximately 2,880 logic elements and 174 user I/Os in a 208-pin ceramic CQFP package with tie bar. It is targeted at military and high-reliability applications where temperature range, voltage flexibility and package integrity are key design constraints.

Key Features

• Core Capacity — 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements provide deterministic resources for control, glue logic and moderate-complexity state machines.
• Logic and Registers — Device-level flip-flop resources and architecture support implementation of register-intensive designs; the family includes dedicated flip-flop resources as described in product documentation.
• I/O Count and Flexibility — 174 user-programmable I/O pins in the 208-pin package enable broad external interfacing for mixed-signal front-ends, buses and peripherals.
• Performance (Military Grade) — Family-level performance indicators show system operation to 215 MHz (military temperature) and a clock-to-out as low as 5.3 ns for this device at military temperature grade.
• Voltage Range — Supports a wide supply range from 2.25 V to 5.25 V to accommodate mixed-voltage system requirements and interfacing.
• Package and Mounting — Supplied in a 208-BFCQFP ceramic package with tie bar, supplier package 208-CQFP (75 × 75), designed for surface-mount assembly.
• Operating Temperature — Qualified for military operating range, −55 °C to +125 °C, suitable for harsh-environment deployment.
• Reliability and Qualification — Military grade device flow and family documentation detail QML-class processing and MIL-STD-883 test flows used for HiRel devices.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant, meeting standard lead-free environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Military and Aerospace Systems — Deterministic timing, wide operating temperature and ceramic packaging make the device appropriate for rugged avionics, mission-critical control and communication subsystems.
• High-Reliability Embedded Control — Use as a single-chip FPGA solution for control logic, protocol bridging and system glue in environments requiring burn-in and full-temperature qualification.
• Secure and Protected Designs — The SX-A family documentation cites secure programming capabilities (FuseLock) that support design protection and anti-tamper programming workflows for sensitive applications.

Unique Advantages

• Military-Grade Qualification: Designed and tested for −55 °C to +125 °C operation and processed under HiRel/MIL product flows to meet stringent reliability requirements.
• Wide Supply Flexibility: 2.25 V to 5.25 V supply range accommodates a variety of I/O standards and mixed-voltage system interfaces without complex power sequencing.
• Deterministic Timing: Documented family timing (including family clock-to-out figures) supports predictable, engineer-friendly timing closure for embedded control systems.
• Ceramic CQFP Packaging: 208-pin ceramic package with tie bar provides mechanical robustness and suitability for high-reliability board assemblies.
• RoHS Compliance: Environmentally compliant manufacturing while maintaining military-grade processing and testing.
