A54SX32A-PQ208I

The A54SX32A-PQ208I is a Microchip Technology SX-A family FPGA — a nonvolatile, single-chip programmable logic device designed for mid-density applications. It combines approximately 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements with 174 user-programmable I/O pins to enable flexible interfacing and control in industrial embedded systems.

Built with features such as hot-swap capable I/Os, configurable I/O standards and power-up/power-down friendly operation, the device targets designs that require deterministic timing, in-system diagnostics and reliable configuration without external volatile memory.

Key Features

• Core performance  Specified system performance up to 250 MHz and internal performance up to 350 MHz as documented for the SX-A family.
• Logic capacity  Approximately 48,000 system gates implemented across 2,880 logic elements, supporting up to 2,012 dedicated flip-flops (family data).
• User I/O  174 user-programmable I/O pins with configurable I/O support for multiple voltage standards (examples in family documentation include 3.3 V/5 V PCI, 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL, 2.5 V LVCMOS2).
• Nonvolatile single-chip configuration  Single-chip, nonvolatile architecture removes the need for external configuration memory and supports secure programming technology (FuseLock™ in family documentation).
• Power and I/O robustness  Hot-swap compliant I/Os, power-up/power-down friendly operation (no supply sequencing required) and configurable weak pull-up/pull-down on I/O at power-up (family features).
• Voltage and temperature  Wide supply voltage range of 2.25 V to 5.25 V and industrial temperature grade operation from −40 °C to +85 °C.
• Package  208-pin BFQFP package case (supplier device package: 208-PQFP 28×28) for board-level integration.
• System testability and security  Boundary-scan testing compliant with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) and in-system diagnostic/verification capabilities described for the SX-A family.

Typical Applications

• PCI and legacy interface bridging  Configurable I/O voltage support and family-level 66 MHz PCI compliance make the device suitable for designs that require mixed-voltage interface translation and protocol bridging.
• Industrial control and automation  Industrial temperature rating (−40 °C to +85 °C) and hot-swap capable I/Os support deployment in embedded controllers and fielded automation equipment.
• In-system diagnostics and test environments  Built-in boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) and family-level in-system diagnostic features assist board-level testing and on-site verification.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile, single-chip FPGA: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory, simplifying BOM and boot architecture.
• Flexible I/O voltage support: Supports multiple logic standards and a wide supply range (2.25 V–5.25 V), enabling mixed-voltage system interfacing.
• Industrial-ready temperature range: Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C, suitable for industrial embedded deployments.
• Significant mid-range capacity: ~48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements provide substantial logic resources for control, glue logic and interface tasks.
• Design verification and security: Boundary-scan support and secure programming technology (family feature) help protect IP and accelerate bring-up and test.
