A54SX32A-CQ208M

The A54SX32A-CQ208M is a military-grade SX-A family FPGA designed for high-reliability embedded systems. It delivers a deterministic programmable fabric with 48,000 system gates, 2,880 logic elements, and 174 user I/O pins in a 208-pin ceramic CQFP package with tie bar.

Engineered for harsh environments, this device supports a wide supply range and full military temperature testing, and includes security and test capabilities suitable for mission-critical and secure applications.

Key Features

• Core & Capacity  48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements with up to 1,080 dedicated flip-flops provide a moderate-density programmable fabric for control and glue-logic tasks.
• I/O and Package  174 user-programmable I/Os in a 208-BFCQFP ceramic package with tie bar (supplier package: 208-CQFP, 75×75). Surface-mount mounting type supports standard PCB assembly.
• Voltage and Power  Wide supply range from 2.25 V to 5.25 V supports mixed-voltage system integration and flexible interfacing options.
• Temperature and Qualification  Military-grade device with operating temperature from −55 °C to +125 °C and QML/MIL qualification flow documented for robust, screened operation.
• Deterministic Timing  Family-level timing characteristics include low clock-to-out latency and high internal performance suitable for predictable system timing requirements.
• Security and Reliability  Includes Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock to protect design IP and features for power-up/power-down friendly operation without supply sequencing.
• System Test and Integration  Boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) support and in-system diagnostic/verification capabilities enhance testability and board-level integration.
• Memory  No on-chip RAM (Total RAM Bits: 0), enabling deterministic logic-only implementations where embedded RAM is not required.

Typical Applications

• Military & Aerospace Systems  High-temperature qualification, QML-class screening, and a −55 °C to +125 °C operating range support avionics and defense electronic subsystems.
• Secure Embedded Controllers  On-device FuseLock programming and secure configuration capabilities are suited to applications where IP protection and tamper resistance matter.
• PCI and Legacy Interface Controllers  Family-level PCI compliance and configurable I/O voltage support make the device suitable for board-level interface bridging and legacy bus controllers.
• Testable, High-Reliability Designs  Boundary-scan support and in-system diagnostics simplify board bring-up, verification, and field maintenance for complex systems.

Unique Advantages

• Military-Grade Screening:  Device-level MIL-STD-883 screening and QML-class documentation ensure suitability for screened, high-reliability programs.
• Wide Supply Flexibility:  2.25 V to 5.25 V operation supports mixed-voltage system designs and simplifies interfacing to 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V domains.
• Secure, Non-Volatile Programming:  Actel Secure Programming with FuseLock prevents reverse engineering and helps protect IP in deployed systems.
• Predictable Timing:  Family timing characteristics and deterministic behavior support time-critical control and synchronization tasks.
• Board-Level Testability:  Boundary-scan and in-system diagnostic capabilities reduce test overhead and improve fault isolation during production and in the field.
• Package and I/O Density:  174 user I/Os in a 208-pin ceramic CQFP provide a balance of I/O routing density and robust package options for space-constrained, rugged boards.
