A54SX32A-PQG208

The A54SX32A-PQG208 is a nonvolatile SX-A family FPGA in a 208-pin BFQFP package designed for commercial embedded systems. It provides 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements with 174 user-programmable I/Os to implement glue logic, protocol interfaces and system control functions.

Built for mixed-voltage environments and flexible I/O configurations, the device supports a wide supply range and family-level capabilities such as hot-swap compliant I/Os, power-up/down friendly behavior, and in-system diagnostic features for easier bring-up and verification.

Key Features

• Core capacity — 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements enable medium-density logic integration suitable for control, interface and glue-logic tasks.
• Programmable I/O — 174 user I/Os with configurable support for multiple interface voltages (family-level support for 3.3 V / 5 V PCI, 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL, 2.5 V LVCMOS2) to simplify mixed-voltage designs.
• Performance (SX-A family) — Family datasheet specifies up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance for timing-critical functions.
• Power and supply flexibility — Operates across a 2.25 V to 5.25 V supply range and is power-up/power-down friendly without supply sequencing requirements (family-level feature).
• System reliability and test — Boundary-scan testing (IEEE 1149.1) and in-system diagnostic/verification capability (Silicon Explorer II) for improved testability and debug.
• Security and IP protection — Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock (family-level feature) for protection against reverse engineering and design theft.
• Package and mounting — Surface-mount 208-pin BFQFP (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) for compact board integration; RoHS compliant.
• Commercial temperature grade — Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation to meet commercial product requirements.

Typical Applications

• Commercial embedded systems — Implement control logic, protocol conversion and board-level glue logic in commercial electronics where mixed-voltage interfaces are required.
• PCI interface logic — Family-level 66 MHz PCI compliance makes the device suitable for implementing PCI interface and bridging functions.
• Mixed-voltage I/O bridging — Use configurable I/Os to interface 5 V and lower-voltage peripherals without additional level-shifting components.
• System bring-up and diagnostics — In-system diagnostic and verification capabilities aid development, testing and field diagnostics during product development and deployment.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile, single-chip solution: Eliminates external configuration memory for faster system start-up and simpler BOM.
• Flexible I/O voltage handling: Configurable I/O standards and 5 V input tolerance at the family level reduce the need for external interface components.
• Secure programming: FuseLock technology offers on-chip protection for IP and configuration data.
• Power-up/down friendly: No supply sequencing required, simplifying power-rail design and system reliability.
• Test and debug support: Boundary-scan (JTAG) and in-system diagnostics improve test coverage and shorten debug cycles.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental compliance requirements for commercial products.
