Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Approximately 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements provide substantial mid-range programmable logic resources for combinatorial and sequential designs.
• User I/O — 174 user-programmable I/Os suitable for complex peripheral interfacing and multi-bus designs; package routing optimized in a 208-pin PQFP/BFQFP form factor.
• Voltage & I/O Flexibility — Device supply range 2.25 V to 5.25 V. Series-level configurable I/O support for 3.3 V / 5 V PCI, 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL, and 2.5 V LVCMOS2 as described in the SX-A family documentation.
• Performance — Series performance characteristics include up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance as specified for the SX-A family.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Solution — SX-A family architecture provides a nonvolatile, single-chip implementation, removing the need for external configuration memory.
• Power-Up/Down Friendly — I/O and supply architecture designed to tolerate power sequencing with no special supply sequencing required.
• Security & Test — Series-level security features include Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ to protect against reverse engineering; boundary-scan testing in compliance with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) is supported.
• Diagnostic & Development Support — In-system diagnostic and verification capability is available through the SX-A family tools (Silicon Explorer II referenced in family documentation).
• Package & Grade — Supplied in a 208-pin PQFP (28 × 28) / 208-BFQFP package case and rated for commercial temperature operation (0 °C to 70 °C).
• Environmental — RoHS compliant.
• Embedded Memory — Total on-chip RAM: 0 bits (no embedded RAM on this device).

Typical Applications

• PCI and Bus Interfaces — Implement PCI-compliant glue logic, bus bridging, and interface control leveraging the device's series-level 66 MHz PCI compliance and flexible I/O support.
• Embedded Control — Use as a nonvolatile programmable controller for system sequencing, timing and glue logic in electronic subsystems.
• Signal Conditioning & I/O Aggregation — Centralize multiple I/O standards and aggregate peripheral interfaces in a single 208-pin package for compact board designs.
• In-System Diagnostics — Add real-time verification and diagnostic capability with SX-A family in-system tools for production test and field diagnostics.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile Configuration: Single-chip, nonvolatile architecture eliminates the need for external configuration memory, simplifying BOM and system initialization.
• Mixed-Voltage I/O: Supports common I/O standards across 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5 V domains (series-level), enabling seamless interfacing with a wide range of peripherals.
• High I/O Count in PQFP: 174 user I/Os in a 208-pin PQFP/BFQFP package allows dense I/O routing for mid-range designs without switching to larger BGA packages.
• Security and Testability: FuseLock™ programming technology and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan support help protect IP and enable manufacturing test strategies.
• Deterministic Timing: Series-level deterministic, user-controllable timing characteristics support predictable system timing closure.
• RoHS Compliant: Environmentally compliant manufacturing and materials support regulatory requirements for many global markets.
