Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements provide substantial programmable logic for mid-range FPGA applications.
• User I/O — 174 user-programmable I/O pins in the 208-pin BFQFP package, supporting mixed-voltage operation and flexible interfacing.
• Package & Mounting — 208-BFQFP (208-PQFP, 28×28) surface-mount package suitable for PCB assembly processes targeting industrial environments.
• Power & Voltage — Wide supply range from 2.25 V to 5.25 V enables mixed-voltage operation and compatibility with multiple system domains.
• Temperature Grade — Industrial operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C for deployment in temperature‑sensitive environments.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip — SX-A family architecture offers a nonvolatile configuration in a single device, eliminating the need for external configuration memory.
• High-Speed Family Performance — SX-A family performance characteristics include up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance (family-level specification).
• Robust I/O and PCI Support — Hot-swap compliant I/Os, 66 MHz PCI compliance and configurable I/O supporting 3.3 V/5 V PCI, 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL and 2.5 V LVCMOS2 (family-level capabilities).
• Design Security & Testability — Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ for design protection and IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan support for board-level test.
• Power-Up/Down Friendly — No sequencing required for supply voltages, simplifying power system design (family-level feature).
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Implement motor control logic, state machines and custom timing networks with deterministic performance and industrial temperature rating.
• Communications & Networking — Use programmable I/O and PCI-capable interfaces for protocol bridging, I/O conditioning and mid-range packet processing tasks.
• Embedded Systems — Replace glue logic and integrate custom peripherals in embedded controllers where nonvolatile configuration and mixed-voltage I/O simplify system design.
• Test & Measurement — Leverage JTAG boundary-scan and in-system diagnostics for board-level test and field verification tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Logic in a Compact Package: 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements enable complex functions while retaining a 208-pin BFQFP footprint.
• Flexible Mixed-Voltage I/O: Configurable support for multiple I/O standards and wide supply range reduce the need for level-shifters and simplify multi-domain system integration.
• Nonvolatile, Single-Chip Solution: Eliminates external configuration memory, reducing BOM and simplifying board layout and start-up behavior.
• Industrial Reliability: Industrial temperature rating (-40 °C to 85 °C) and RoHS compliance make the device suitable for long-term use in industrial environments.
• Secure and Testable: Built-in FuseLock programming security and JTAG boundary-scan support protect IP while enabling standard board test methodologies.
• Power-System Friendly: Power-up/down tolerant supplies remove supply-sequencing constraints and reduce system-level risk during power events.
