A54SX32A-1FGG256M

The A54SX32A-1FGG256M is an SX-A family FPGA offering a nonvolatile, single-chip FPGA architecture optimized for robust embedded and mission-critical designs. This military-grade device provides 48,000 system gates implemented as approximately 2,880 logic elements with 203 user I/Os in a 256-ball fine-pitch BGA package.

Designed for mixed-voltage systems and extended-temperature operation, the device targets applications that require deterministic timing, in-system diagnostics, and secure programming capabilities while supporting broad I/O flexibility and industrial-strength operating conditions.

Key Features

• Core Performance  250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance are specified for the SX-A family series.
• Logic Resources  Approximately 48,000 system gates implemented as 2,880 logic elements, supporting up to 2,012 dedicated flip-flops across the family.
• I/O Flexibility  203 user I/Os with configurable support for multiple standards; hot-swap compliant I/Os and configurable weak pull-up/pull-down at power-up are supported by the series.
• Mixed-Voltage and I/O Standards  Configurable I/O support for 3.3 V/5 V PCI, 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL and 2.5 V LVCMOS2; 5 V input tolerance and 5 V drive strength are available in the SX-A family.
• Power and Supply  Wide supply range: 2.25 V to 5.25 V; Power-up/power-down friendly with no required sequencing for supply voltages for the family.
• Package and Mounting  256-ball fine-pitch ball grid array (256-FPBGA, 17×17) surface-mount package for high-density board designs.
• Temperature and Grade  Military grade device; operating temperature range from −55 °C to 125 °C.
• Security and Reliability  Series features include Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ to prevent reverse engineering, boundary-scan testing compliant with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG), and deterministic, user-controllable timing.
• Diagnostics and Test  In-system diagnostic and verification capability with Silicon Explorer II and full boundary-scan support for production test and debug.
• Standards Compliance  66 MHz PCI-compliant operation is supported by the SX-A family.
• Environmental  RoHS-compliant packaging.

Typical Applications

• Military and Aerospace Electronics  Military-grade temperature range (−55 °C to 125 °C) and rugged packaging make the device suitable for mission-critical control and processing functions.
• PCI-Based Systems  66 MHz PCI compliance and mixed-voltage I/O support enable implementation in PCI-capable embedded systems and expansion modules.
• Secure and Verified Systems  Built-in secure programming (FuseLock™) and in-system diagnostics suit applications that require protection against reverse engineering and on-board verification.
• High-Reliability Embedded Designs  Deterministic timing, hot-swap compliant I/Os, and boundary-scan support address needs in communications, instrumentation, and control platforms that demand predictable behavior and testability.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Solution:  Eliminates separate configuration memory, simplifying board design and reducing system startup dependencies.
• Wide Supply and I/O Voltage Range:  2.25 V to 5.25 V supply range and multi-standard I/O support reduce the need for intermediate level-shifting components.
• Military-Grade Robustness:  Rated for −55 °C to 125 °C and supplied in a 256-FPBGA surface-mount package to meet demanding environmental requirements.
• Security and Testability:  FuseLock™ secure programming and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan support improve IP protection and manufacturing test coverage.
• High Integration Density:  Approximately 2,880 logic elements and 48,000 system gates provide substantial logic capacity for mid-range FPGA applications without external configuration devices.
• In-System Diagnostics:  Silicon Explorer II support enables on-board verification and debugging during development and field maintenance.
