A54SX72A-1CQ208M

The A54SX72A-1CQ208M is a HiRel SX-A family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 208-pin ceramic CQFP package with tie bar, designed and manufactured by Microchip Technology. It delivers a high-density, military-grade programmable logic solution with 108,000 system gates and 6,036 logic elements for complex control, processing and interface functions.

Built for high-reliability environments, this device supports wide voltage operation (2.25 V to 5.25 V), 171 user I/Os, and full military temperature qualification (–55°C to +125°C), making it suitable for applications that require deterministic timing, secure programming and long-term operational stability.

Key Features

• Core Capacity: 108,000 system gates and 6,036 logic elements provide substantial programmable logic resources for medium-to-high complexity designs.
• Flip-Flops and Logic Resources: Up to 2,012 dedicated flip-flops are available to support synchronous logic and state-machine implementation.
• I/O Flexibility: 171 user-programmable I/Os enable extensive peripheral interfacing and board-level integration.
• Performance (family-level): Documented family-level figures include system performance up to 215 MHz (military temperature) and clock-to-out times as low as 5.3 ns (pin-to-pin) under military temperature conditions.
• Voltage and Mixed-Voltage Support: Operates across a wide supply range from 2.25 V to 5.25 V to accommodate mixed-voltage system designs.
• Package: 208-pin ceramic CQFP with tie bar (supplier device package: 208-CQFP (75x75)), designed for surface-mount assembly.
• Military/HiRel Qualification: Military grade device with operating temperature –55°C to +125°C and Class B level production flow and testing as described in the family documentation.
• Security and Reliability (family features): Family-level capabilities include secure programming technology (FuseLock™) and QML certification for traceable high-reliability use.
• Standards Compatibility (family-level): Family documentation references 33 MHz PCI compliance and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan (JTAG) support for testability.
• RoHS Compliance: Device is RoHS compliant to meet environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Military and Aerospace Systems: Qualified to –55°C to +125°C and produced under a military-grade flow, suitable for avionics, tactical systems and other high-reliability platforms.
• High-Reliability Control and Processing: Uses its 108,000 system gates and 6,036 logic elements for control logic, protocol bridging and real-time data processing in demanding environments.
• Mixed-Voltage Interface Systems: Wide 2.25 V to 5.25 V supply range supports integration in mixed-voltage system topologies and legacy interfaces.
• Secure or IP-Sensitive Designs: Family-level secure programming capabilities support designs that require protection against reverse engineering and unauthorized access.

Unique Advantages

• Military-Grade Qualification: Full military temperature testing and Class B production flow ensure traceable reliability for mission-critical applications.
• Substantial Logic Density: 6,036 logic elements and 108,000 system gates offer the capacity to consolidate functions and reduce BOM in complex systems.
• Broad I/O Count: 171 user I/Os allow flexible connectivity to many peripherals and board-level interfaces without external multiplexing.
• Wide Voltage Range: 2.25 V to 5.25 V operation makes the device adaptable to a variety of supply architectures and mixed-voltage designs.
• Deterministic Timing (family-level): Documented family timing figures and user-controllable timing behavior support predictable, deterministic system performance.
• Manufacturing and Testability: Ceramic CQFP packaging and boundary-scan support enable robust assembly and in-system test capabilities for production environments.
