Overview of A54SX32A-1CQ256 – SX-A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 203 256-BFCQFP with Tie Bar
The A54SX32A-1CQ256 is a commercial-grade FPGA from the SX‑A family by Microchip Technology. It provides a programmable logic fabric sized for medium-complexity digital designs, with a high I/O count and flexible supply voltage range for mixed-voltage board environments.
Designed for surface-mount deployment in a 256-pin CQFP package with tie bar, this device suits applications requiring board-level logic integration, high pin density and a deterministic logic resource set quantified in logic elements and system gates.
Key Features
- Logic Capacity — Contains approximately 2,880 logic elements (combinatorial cells) and is specified with about 48,000 system gates to support medium-scale digital functions.
- I/O Density — 203 user I/O pins provide extensive external connectivity for interfacing, control and bus integration on 256-pin CQFP hardware.
- Package & Mounting — Supplied in a 256-BFCQFP package with tie bar (supplier device package: 256-CQFP, 75×75 mm footprint) optimized for surface-mount assembly.
- Power Supply Flexibility — Operates across a wide supply range from 2.25 V to 5.25 V enabling mixed-voltage interfacing and board-level compatibility.
- Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for 0–70°C ambient operation for standard commercial applications.
- Standards & Compliance — RoHS compliant for environmental and manufacturing conformity.
Typical Applications
- Board-level glue logic — Use the device to consolidate discrete logic and interface translation into a single programmable IC with high I/O count.
- Protocol bridging and I/O control — 203 user I/Os and flexible supply voltage support mixed-voltage interfaces and bus-level signal handling.
- Embedded logic integration — Medium-capacity logic (≈2,880 logic elements / ~48,000 gates) for control, timing and system sequencing functions on commercial products.
Unique Advantages
- Deterministic logic resources: Fixed, documented logic element and gate counts let engineers plan resource allocation precisely for mid-scale designs.
- High pin count in a compact package: 203 user I/Os in a 256-pin CQFP provide dense connectivity without moving to larger or more complex packages.
- Wide supply range: 2.25 V to 5.25 V operation supports mixed-voltage systems and helps simplify board power architecture.
- Surface-mount ready: 256‑BFCQFP with tie bar designed for standard surface-mount assembly and high-density PCB layouts.
- Commercial temperature suitability: 0–70°C rating aligns the device to standard commercial electronics and controlled-environment applications.
- RoHS compliance: Meets common environmental and manufacturing requirements for modern production flows.
Why Choose A54SX32A-1CQ256?
The A54SX32A-1CQ256 positions itself as a practical, mid-capacity FPGA option for designers who need predictable logic resources and extensive I/O in a compact, surface-mount CQFP package. Its broad supply voltage tolerance and documented logic/gate counts make it straightforward to integrate into mixed-voltage commercial systems where board-level consolidation of logic and interface control is required.
This device is well suited to teams and projects focused on reliable, repeatable designs that prioritize I/O density, clear resource budgeting and standard commercial operating conditions.
