A54SX32A-TQ144A

The A54SX32A-TQ144A is an automotive-grade SX-A family FPGA from Microchip Technology designed for robust embedded logic integration. It provides 48,000 system gates implemented as 2,880 logic elements with 113 user I/Os in a 144-pin LQFP surface-mount package.

Built for harsh environments and flexible I/O requirements, the device combines nonvolatile single-chip FPGA architecture with automotive qualification (AEC-Q100), wide supply range (2.25 V to 5.25 V), and an extended operating temperature range (−40 °C to 125 °C), making it suited for demanding control, interface and signal-processing applications.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 48,000 system gates realized as 2,880 logic elements for implementing medium-complexity digital designs.
• User I/O — 113 configurable user I/Os to support diverse peripheral and interface requirements.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Architecture — FPGA fabric that does not require external configuration memory for persistent configuration.
• Automotive Qualification — AEC-Q100 qualification and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 125 °C for automotive application readiness.
• Power and Voltage Flexibility — Wide supply voltage range from 2.25 V to 5.25 V and power-up/down friendly behavior (no special sequencing required as noted in family documentation).
• Performance and Timing — Family-level performance characteristics include internal performance up to 250 MHz and deterministic, user-controllable timing.
• I/O and Interface Support — Family features include hot-swap compliant I/Os, configurable I/O support (including 3.3 V PCI, 3.3 V LVTTL and 2.5 V LVCMOS2 per family datasheet), and 66 MHz PCI compliance.
• System Reliability & Test — Boundary-scan testing compliant with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) and power-up output state control with configurable weak pull-up or pull-down.
• Security & In-System Diagnostics — Family-level secure programming technology (FuseLock™) and in-system diagnostic/verification capability as described in the SX-A family documentation.
• Package & Mounting — 144-LQFP (surface-mount) package suited for compact board layouts and automated assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Control Systems — Implements custom logic for body electronics, gateway interfaces, and control functions that require AEC-Q100 qualification and extended temperature support.
• In-Vehicle Interfaces — Supports protocol bridging and custom peripheral interfaces with configurable I/O standards and PCI-compliant operation where applicable.
• Industrial and Harsh-Environment Electronics — Offers a nonvolatile, deterministic FPGA option for designs that require wide supply tolerance and −40 °C to 125 °C operation.
• Embedded System Integration — Serves as a single-chip FPGA solution for consolidating glue logic, signal conditioning, and interface control to reduce BOM and simplify board design.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q100 qualification and extended temperature range enable deployment in safety- and reliability-focused applications.
• Nonvolatile, Single-Chip FPGA: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory, simplifying system architecture and improving boot determinism.
• Flexible Voltage and I/O Support: Wide supply voltage range and configurable I/O standards allow direct interfacing with multiple logic families and bus types.
• Built-In Security and Diagnostics: Family-level FuseLock™ secure programming and in-system diagnostic features protect IP and support field verification.
• Deterministic Timing and High Resource Utilization: User-controllable timing and up to 100% resource utilization/pin locking (family capability) provide predictable performance and design control.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 144-LQFP package balances pin count and board-space efficiency for production assemblies.
