A54SX72A-1CQ256

The A54SX72A-1CQ256 is a commercial-grade FPGA from the SX-A family, provided in a 256-pin BFCQFP ceramic package with tie bar. It delivers substantial logic capacity—approximately 108,000 system gates—along with 6,036 logic elements and up to 203 user I/O pins for high-density glue logic, interface consolidation, and complex control functions.

Designed for surface-mount applications, this device supports a wide supply range (2.25 V to 5.25 V), a speed grade of “-1” (approximately 15% faster than standard per the datasheet), and a commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C, making it suitable for a variety of commercial embedded systems.

Key Features

• Core Capacity — Approximately 108,000 system gates and 6,036 logic elements provide significant programmable logic for mid-to-high complexity designs.
• Logic and Registers — Family documentation specifies up to 2,012 dedicated flip-flops; use the device’s available logic modules to implement control, sequencing, and state machines.
• I/O Density — 203 user I/O pins (device-specific) enable broad external connectivity for parallel interfaces, buses, and custom I/O mapping.
• Performance — Device-level timing information in the family datasheet lists a clock-to-out of 6.7 ns for this device model; the part is offered in a “-1” speed grade (≈15% faster than standard).
• Power and Voltage — Supports a wide supply range from 2.25 V to 5.25 V, enabling mixed-voltage system integration where compatible I/O standards are required.
• Package and Mounting — Supplied in a 256-BFCQFP package with tie bar (supplier package: 256-CQFP, 75×75 mm footprint) and intended for surface-mount assembly.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for operation from 0 °C to 70 °C, matching common commercial embedded application environments.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant per supplier data.
• Clock Resources — Family documentation indicates multiple clock domains; the SX-A family supports multiple global and quadrant clocks suitable for partitioned timing architectures.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control and Glue Logic — Use the A54SX72A-1CQ256 to consolidate discrete logic, implement control state machines, and interface disparate subsystems with its large logic capacity and ample I/O.
• Interface Bridging — With 203 user I/Os and wide supply-voltage support, the device is suited for protocol conversion, bus bridging, and mixed-voltage interface tasks in commercial equipment.
• Custom Peripheral Integration — Deploy the FPGA to implement custom peripherals, I/O timing adaptation, and device-specific acceleration where programmable logic and flip-flop resources are required.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Density: Approximately 108,000 system gates and 6,036 logic elements enable implementation of sizeable digital functions on a single device, reducing board-level component count.
