Overview of A54SX32A-CQ208B – SX-A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 174 208-BFCQFP with Tie Bar
The A54SX32A-CQ208B is a HiRel SX-A family field programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 208‑pin ceramic CQFP (208‑BFCQFP with tie bar) surface-mount package. Designed for military and high-reliability systems, this device provides a balance of deterministic logic resources, I/O flexibility and wide operating ranges for demanding environments.
This FPGA delivers approximately 48,000 system gates implemented as 2,880 logic elements, 174 user-programmable I/O pins, and wide supply and temperature tolerances—making it suitable for ruggedized and mission-critical applications that require predictable timing and proven qualification flows.
Key Features
- Core Capacity — Approximately 48,000 system gates implemented as 2,880 logic elements, supporting complex logic integration on a single chip.
- User I/O — 174 user-programmable I/O pins with configurable I/O support documented for mixed-voltage operation and PCI signaling options in the SX-A family.
- Operating Range — Wide supply voltage range of 2.25 V to 5.25 V and full military operating temperature range from −55 °C to +125 °C.
- Performance (SX-A family) — SX-A family documentation reports up to 215 MHz system performance and 5.3 ns clock-to-out (pin-to-pin) at military temperature for the family.
- Package and Mounting — 208‑BFCQFP ceramic quad flat pack with tie bar; supplier device package noted as 208‑CQFP (75 × 75). Surface-mount mounting type.
- Qualification and Reliability — Military grade device flow and Class B level/test flow; family datasheet documents QML and MIL‑STD‑883 screening steps for high-reliability deployments.
- RoHS Compliant — Device is compliant with RoHS environmental requirements.
Typical Applications
- Military & Aerospace Systems — Suitable for flight electronics, guidance, and mission-critical processing where military temperature qualification and ceramic packaging are required.
- Ruggedized Communications — Use in secure and reliable communications equipment that benefits from broad voltage tolerance and a high degree of I/O configurability.
- Embedded Control & Interface — Implements deterministic custom logic, protocol bridging or I/O aggregation in systems demanding predictable timing and high reliability.
Unique Advantages
- Military-Grade Qualification: Delivered with a MIL‑STD‑883 Class B product flow and full temperature screening (−55 °C to +125 °C), supporting use in regulated defense and aerospace programs.
- Wide Voltage Flexibility: 2.25 V to 5.25 V supply range enables integration into systems with mixed-voltage rails and legacy interfaces.
- Deterministic Timing (SX-A family): Family-level timing data documents sub-6 ns pin-to-pin clock-to-out and high MHz system performance at military temperatures for predictable timing behavior.
