Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Approximately 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements to implement medium-density digital designs.
• User I/O — Up to 203 user-programmable I/Os, configurable for multiple signaling standards and with individual slew-rate control.
• Performance — SX-A family performance characteristics including up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance (series specification).
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Solution — On-chip nonvolatile configuration for single-chip system architectures and instant-on behavior.
• Voltage Flexibility — Operates across a wide supply range (2.25 V to 5.25 V) enabling mixed-voltage interfacing and 5 V input tolerance where supported.
• Industrial Temperature Grade — Rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C, suitable for industrial environments.
• Package and Mounting — 256-ball fine-pitch BGA (256-FPBGA, 17×17) surface-mount package for dense board-level integration.
• Security and Test — Includes Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ for intellectual-property protection and IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan testing support.
• System-Friendly I/Os — Hot-swap compliant I/Os and power-up/power-down friendly behavior (no sequencing required for supply voltages).
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control and Automation — Leverages industrial temperature rating and flexible I/O for control logic, protocol bridging and deterministic interface functions.
• PCI Interface Logic — Supports 66 MHz PCI-compliant signaling and configurable I/O levels for PCI-related glue logic and bridge functions.
• In-System Verification and Test — Boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) and in-system diagnostic capabilities facilitate board-level validation and production test workflows.
• Secure Embedded Logic — Nonvolatile configuration with FuseLock™ protection for designs requiring IP security and controlled field programmability.

Unique Advantages

• Deterministic, Controllable Timing: SX-A family timing characteristics support predictable timing behavior for time-critical designs.
• Wide Supply Range: 2.25 V to 5.25 V operation allows direct interfacing with legacy 5 V systems and modern lower-voltage domains.
• Industrial Qualification: −40 °C to +85 °C temperature range and surface-mount 256-FPBGA package suited to industrial deployment.
• Integrated Security: Actel FuseLock™ technology adds protection against reverse engineering and unauthorized copying of design bitstreams.
• Production and Diagnostics: JTAG boundary-scan and in-system diagnostic features streamline manufacturing test and field verification.
• High I/O Count in Compact Package: 203 user I/Os in a 17×17 256-FPBGA provide dense connectivity for multi-interface applications.
