A54SX32A-PQG208A

The A54SX32A-PQG208A is an SX-A family FPGA supplied in a 208-pin PQFP package and qualified to AEC‑Q100. It provides a nonvolatile, user-programmable logic fabric with 2,880 logic elements and 48,000 system gates, designed for applications that require automotive-grade temperature and qualification.

This device combines deterministic timing, configurable I/O, and system-level features from the SX-A automotive family — including hot-swap compliant I/Os and power-up/down friendly behavior — to support control, interface and diagnostic functions in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 2,880 logic elements (listed as Number Of Logic Elements Cells) and approximately 48,000 system gates for implementing glue logic, protocol bridging and control functions.
• I/O — 174 user I/O pins, configurable for multiple signaling standards as supported by the SX-A family, enabling broad peripheral and sensor interfacing.
• Nonvolatile Architecture — SX-A family nonvolatile configuration that retains programmed logic across power cycles.
• Performance — Family-level internal performance up to 250 MHz and 66 MHz PCI compliance as documented for the SX-A automotive family.
• Supply & Power — Wide supply voltage range from 2.25 V to 5.25 V and power-up/down friendly operation (no sequencing required for supply voltages).
• Package & Mounting — 208-pin PQFP package (supplier package: 208‑PQFP (28×28)) with surface-mount mounting type.
• Automotive Qualification — Grade: Automotive with AEC‑Q100 qualification and operating temperature range of −40 °C to 125 °C.
• System Reliability & Test — Boundary-scan testing compliant with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) and in-system diagnostic capabilities via Silicon Explorer II (family feature).
• Security & Programming — Actel/Microchip Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ to protect designs from reverse engineering (listed in the SX-A family features).
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive subsystem control — Use for vehicle control and interface logic where AEC‑Q100 qualification and −40 °C to 125 °C operation are required.
• Sensors and actuator interfacing — 174 configurable I/Os allow aggregation and conditioning of multiple sensors and actuators in a single device.
• Protocol bridging and glue logic — Implement protocol translation, bus interfacing or custom control logic leveraging the device’s nonvolatile configuration and deterministic timing.
• On-board diagnostics and test — Leverage in-system diagnostic and boundary-scan capabilities for verification and manufacturing test flows.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-qualified silicon: AEC‑Q100 qualification and extended temperature range provide a predictable parts selection for automotive designs.
• Nonvolatile configuration: Devices retain programmed logic across power cycles, eliminating the need for external configuration flash in many system architectures.
• Wide I/O flexibility: 174 user I/Os support extensive peripheral and sensor connectivity while family-level configurable I/O standards enable mixed-voltage interfacing.
• Robust system-level features: Hot-swap compliant I/Os and power-up/down friendly operation simplify integration into multi-rail and hot-pluggable systems.
• Security and testability: Built-in secure programming (FuseLock™) and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan support protect IP and simplify manufacturing test.
• Package options and surface-mount assembly: 208-pin PQFP (28×28) surface-mount package supports compact board layouts with standard assembly processes.
