A54SX32A-FG256A

The A54SX32A-FG256A is a nonvolatile SX-A family FPGA in a 256-ball fine-pitch BGA package, designed and qualified for automotive applications. It provides a mid-range programmable-logic solution with 2,880 logic elements and 48,000 system gates suited to vehicle electronics and embedded control systems.

Built for robust operation, the device supports a wide supply range (2.25–5.25 V) and an extended operating temperature range (−40 °C to 125 °C), and carries AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use. The FPGA integrates flexible I/O and system-level features that simplify integration in safety-conscious and space-constrained designs.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 2,880 logic elements (listed as Number Of Logic Elements Cells) and approximately 48,000 system gates provide programmable resources for mid-density logic implementations.
• I/O and Interfaces — 203 user I/Os support configurable I/O standards including 3.3V PCI, 3.3V LVTTL and 2.5V LVCMOS2, with hot-swap–capable I/Os and configurable weak pull-up/pull-down on outputs at power-up.
• Performance — Family-level performance characteristics include up to 250 MHz internal operation and 66 MHz PCI compliance as documented for the SX-A family.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Solution — Nonvolatile configuration eliminates the need for external configuration memory and enables a single-chip programmable logic solution.
• Security and Test — Family features include Secure Programming Technology (FuseLock™) to protect designs and IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan support for board-level testability.
• System Diagnostics and Timing — Deterministic, user-controllable timing and in-system diagnostic/verification capability (Silicon Explorer II) support validation and bring-up workflows.
• Package & Mounting — 256-ball fine-pitch BGA (256-FPBGA, 17 × 17) in a surface-mount package suitable for compact automotive PCBs.
• Automotive Qualification & Temperature — Grade: Automotive with AEC-Q100 qualification and operating temperature range of −40 °C to 125 °C for automotive environments.
• Power-Friendliness — Power-up/down friendly operation with no supply sequencing required across the supported voltage range of 2.25 V to 5.25 V.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronic Control — Programmable logic for vehicle subsystems requiring configurable I/O and automotive-grade qualification.
• In-vehicle Interfaces — Bridge or interface logic where flexible I/O standards, hot-swap capability, and PCI compliance are required.
• Sensor Aggregation and Pre-processing — FPGA-based preprocessing and aggregation for sensor arrays requiring deterministic timing and in-system diagnostics.
• Board-Level Test & Secure Systems — Designs that benefit from IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan and FuseLock™ secure programming for IP protection and testability.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q100 qualification and an extended −40 °C to 125 °C operating range support deployment in vehicle environments.
• Nonvolatile, Single-Chip Implementation: Eliminates external configuration memory and simplifies system BOM and startup behavior.
• Flexible I/O Voltage Support: On-chip support for multiple I/O standards reduces the need for external level shifting and eases integration with diverse peripherals.
• Design Security and Testability: FuseLock™ secure programming plus JTAG boundary-scan enable design protection and robust board-level test flows.
• Deterministic Timing and Diagnostics: User-controllable timing and in-system diagnostic capability streamline bring-up, verification and troubleshooting.
• Wide Supply Range and Power Robustness: 2.25–5.25 V supply flexibility and power-up/down friendly operation reduce constraints on power-rail sequencing.
