• I/O Count & Flexibility — 174 user‑programmable I/Os with configurable I/O support for multiple voltage standards and 5 V input tolerance as defined by the SX‑A family.
• Performance — SX‑A family performance characteristics include up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance.
• Nonvolatile Single‑Chip Configuration — Family feature set includes nonvolatile single‑chip operation that removes the need for external configuration memory.
• Voltage Supply — Broad operating supply range from 2.25 V to 5.25 V to support mixed‑voltage designs.
• Package & Mounting — 208‑pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (208‑BFQFP / 208‑PQFP 28×28) for surface‑mount PCB assembly.
• Commercial Grade Temperature — Rated for commercial operation from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Design-for-Test & Security — Family features include IEEE‑1149.1 boundary‑scan (JTAG) support and Actel Secure Programming Technology (FuseLock™) for anti‑reverse engineering protection.
• System & Timing Control — Deterministic, user‑controllable timing and support for up to three global clocks as part of the SX‑A family architecture.
• Manufacturing & Power Behavior — Hot‑swap‑compliant I/Os and power‑up/power‑down friendly behavior (no supply sequencing required) from the SX‑A family specifications.
• Compliance & Environmental — RoHS‑compliant.
• Embedded Memory — No on‑chip RAM (total RAM bits = 0), enabling designs that rely on distributed logic or external memory.

Typical Applications

• PCI Interface Logic — Implement PCI‑compatible interface and glue logic leveraging SX‑A family 66 MHz PCI compliance and configurable 3.3 V/5 V PCI I/O support.
• Embedded Control & Interface — Mid‑range embedded control functions and protocol bridging using ~2,880 logic elements and 174 I/Os for peripheral interfacing.
• Manufacturing Test & Diagnostics — Boundary‑scan (IEEE‑1149.1) capability and in‑system diagnostic features from the SX‑A family support production testing and board‑level verification.
• Security‑Sensitive Designs — Single‑chip, nonvolatile configuration with FuseLock™ provides on‑device protection against reverse engineering for IP‑sensitive applications.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile Single‑Chip Solution: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory, simplifying the bill of materials and system initialization.
• Flexible Voltage Support: 2.25 V–5.25 V supply range and mixed‑voltage I/O support allow straightforward interfacing with a variety of logic levels.
• Deterministic Timing: User‑controllable timing and family architecture support help ensure predictable, repeatable behavior for real‑time designs.
• Security & IP Protection: FuseLock™ secure programming technology protects design IP and prevents reverse engineering on the device.
• Testability: Integrated boundary‑scan (IEEE‑1149.1) simplifies board‑level test and in‑system verification workflows.
• Commercial‑Grade Availability: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and supplied in a 208‑pin surface‑mount PQFP package suitable for standard commercial designs.
