A54SX32A-1PQG208

The A54SX32A-1PQG208 is a commercial-grade SX-A family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) provided in a 208-pin surface-mount package. It delivers a reprogrammable, nonvolatile single-chip solution with a balance of logic capacity and flexible I/O for commercial embedded designs.

With 48,000 gates and 2,880 logic elements, the device targets applications that require substantial user-programmable logic and a large number of I/O pins, while supporting mixed-voltage I/O and RoHS-compliant manufacturing.

Key Features

• Core & performance — Part of the SX-A FPGA family; the family documentation lists system and internal performance parameters and supports deterministic, user-controllable timing.
• Logic resources — 2,880 logic elements delivering 48,000 gates suitable for moderate-density logic implementations.
• I/O capacity & flexibility — 174 user-programmable I/Os with configurable I/O support for multiple voltage standards and mixed-voltage operation, including 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V options with 5 V input tolerance.
• Nonvolatile single-chip — SX-A family devices are provided as nonvolatile, single-chip solutions for in-system programmability and configuration retention.
• Power & reliability — Hot-swap compliant I/Os and power-up/power-down friendly operation (no sequencing required for supply voltages) to simplify system power management.
• Security & test — Series-level features include Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ for design protection and IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan testing for board-level testability.
• Package & grade — Surface-mount 208-pin package (specified as 208-BFQFP / supplier device package 208-PQFP 28×28) and commercial temperature grade (0 °C to 70 °C).
• Supply voltage range — Operates across a wide supply range from 2.25 V to 5.25 V to accommodate mixed-voltage systems.
• Environmental compliance — RoHS compliant for lead-free assembly environments.
• Memory — Total on-chip RAM bits: 0, appropriate for designs that use register resources or external memory.

Typical Applications

• Commercial embedded systems — Use the device to implement custom control logic and peripheral interfaces in commercial-temperature electronics where reprogrammable logic and mixed-voltage I/O are required.
• Interface bridging and protocol glue — Leverage 174 I/Os and flexible voltage support to build mixed-voltage interface bridges, protocol translators, or custom I/O hubs.
• Security-aware configurations — Employ the family’s secure programming technology and JTAG boundary-scan capability for designs that demand configuration protection and board-level testability.
• In-system development and verification — Use the nonvolatile single-chip architecture together with in-system diagnostic/verification tools supported by the SX-A family for field reprogramming and debugging.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial logic density — 2,880 logic elements and 48,000 gates provide ample programmable resources for medium-complexity logic implementations.
• High I/O count with mixed-voltage support — 174 user I/Os and configurable I/O standards enable flexible connection to a wide range of peripherals and legacy interfaces.
• Nonvolatile, single-chip configuration — Eliminates the need for external configuration memory, simplifying board design and supply sequencing.
• Board-level test and security — IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan and FuseLock™ secure programming support improved manufacturability and IP protection.
• Power sequencing tolerant — Power-up/power-down friendly I/O behavior reduces system-level power sequencing constraints during integration.
• RoHS compliant — Meets lead-free assembly requirements for commercial products.
