Overview of A54SX72A-1CQ208B – SX-A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 171 I/O, 208-BFCQFP with Tie Bar
The A54SX72A-1CQ208B is a HiRel SX-A family field programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 208-pin BFCQFP ceramic package with tie bar. It delivers high gate-count FPGA capability for military and high-reliability applications, combining deterministic timing elements and flexible I/O configurations.
Designed for systems that require robust operation across extreme temperatures and mixed-voltage interfaces, the device supports up to 108,000 system gates and provides a balance of performance, I/O density and mission-profile qualification for defense and aerospace designs.
Key Features
- Logic Capacity Approximately 108,000 system gates and 6,036 logic elements provide substantial on-chip combinational and sequential resources for complex logic implementations.
- Flip-Flops Device includes up to 2,012 dedicated flip-flops for synchronous design needs and deterministic timing control.
- I/O Flexibility Up to 171 user-programmable I/Os with configurable support for mixed-voltage operation to accommodate 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5 V signaling environments as noted in the family specification.
- Performance Family-level performance metrics include system frequencies up to 215 MHz and internal performance up to 240 MHz; this device’s listed clock-to-out timing is 6.7 ns in the published device table.
- Power and Voltage Operates from a 2.25 V to 5.25 V supply range and supports mixed-voltage I/O operation per the SX-A family description.
- Package 208-BFCQFP with tie bar (supplier device package: 208-CQFP, 75×75 mm) for ceramic surface-mount applications where package robustness is required.
- Temperature & Qualification Military-grade device with operating temperature range −55 °C to +125 °C and QML/Class B flow described in the device documentation.
- No Embedded RAM Total on-chip RAM bits reported as 0; design resources emphasize flip-flop-based logic and deterministic timing.
- Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Military & Aerospace Systems High-reliability control, protocol bridging and mission-critical logic where military temperature range and QML-class flows are required.
- Secure and Protected Designs Applications that require secure programming options and protection against reverse engineering, leveraging the SX-A family secure programming features described in the device documentation.
- Mixed-Voltage Interface Control Signal-level translation, bus interfacing and peripheral bridging across 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5 V domains using the device’s configurable I/O capabilities.
- Deterministic Timing Systems Synchronous control and timing-critical logic blocks benefiting from dedicated flip-flop resources and the family’s deterministic timing architecture.
Unique Advantages
- High Gate Density: 108,000 system gates enable implementation of sizable FPGA functions on a single, hermetic ceramic package, reducing board-level complexity.
- Qualified for Harsh Environments: Military-grade temperature range (−55 °C to +125 °C) and Class B/QML processing provide traceable qualification for defense and aerospace deployments.
- Flexible Voltage Support: Operates across a wide supply range (2.25 V–5.25 V) with family support for mixed-voltage I/O to simplify interface design across legacy and modern logic levels.
- Deterministic Timing Resources: Dedicated flip-flops and documented clock-to-out timing enable repeatable, predictable timing behavior for real-time and control applications.
- Ceramic CQFP Packaging: 208-pin ceramic BFCQFP package with tie bar offers a robust surface-mount form factor suitable for hermetic and high-reliability assemblies.
- Regulatory and Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental-waste reduction requirements in procurement and manufacturing.
