A54SX72A-1PQG208I

The A54SX72A-1PQG208I is a nonvolatile SX-A family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a 208-pin PQFP/BFQFP package targeted at industrial embedded applications. It delivers 108,000 system gates and approximately 6,036 logic elements with 171 user I/Os, providing a balance of logic capacity and I/O integration for control, interface and system glue logic roles.

Built for mixed-voltage systems, the device supports a wide supply range and configurable I/O standards while offering family-level features such as hot-swap compliant I/Os, power-up/down friendliness, and in-system diagnostic capabilities.

Key Features

• Core Capacity — 108,000 system gates and 6,036 logic elements (combinatorial cells) suited for mid-range logic integration and glue logic tasks.
• User I/O — 171 user-programmable I/Os on the 208-pin package, with configurable I/O support for multiple voltage standards.
• Voltage Supply & I/O Flexibility — Operates from 2.25 V to 5.25 V; supports 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5 V mixed-voltage operation and 5 V input tolerance and drive strength as documented for the SX-A family.
• Performance — Family-level performance indicators include up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance for timing-critical paths (SX-A family specifications).
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Configuration — Nonvolatile configuration on a single device eliminates the need for external configuration memory.
• Security & Test — Supports Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ and IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan testing for in-system verification and IP protection (SX-A family features).
• Diagnostics & Development Support — In-system diagnostic and verification capability with Silicon Explorer II (family-level tool support).
• Package & Temperature — Supplied in a 208-pin BFQFP / PQFP (208-PQFP, 28×28) package; industrial temperature grade with operating range −40 °C to +85 °C.
• Memory — Total RAM Bits: 0 (no embedded RAM reported for this device).

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Use for I/O consolidation, protocol conversion and deterministic control logic in systems operating across industrial temperature ranges.
• PCI and Legacy Interface Bridging — Family-level support for 3.3 V / 5 V PCI makes this device suitable for bridging or interfacing PCI-based subsystems.
• System Glue Logic — Ideal for integrating disparate logic blocks and handling board-level control and timing functions where mid-range gate density and numerous I/Os are required.
• In-System Test & Security — Use where boundary-scan testing and in-system verification are needed, combined with on-device programming security.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile Configuration — Eliminates external configuration memory and simplifies power-up sequencing, reducing BOM and system complexity.
• Mixed-Voltage I/O Support — Flexible I/O voltage options and 5 V tolerance enable direct interfacing to a wide range of legacy and modern peripherals.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C operation to meet industrial deployment requirements.
• On-Board Security & Test Features — FuseLock programming protection and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan support help secure IP and simplify manufacturing test flows.
• Deterministic Timing — Family-level deterministic, user-controllable timing characteristics aid designs that require predictable timing closure.

Why Choose A54SX72A-1PQG208I?

The A54SX72A-1PQG208I positions itself as a versatile, nonvolatile FPGA solution for industrial embedded designs that require a mid-range logic count with extensive I/O.
