A54SX72A-2PQ208I

The A54SX72A-2PQ208I is an SX-A family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is a nonvolatile, single-chip FPGA offering deterministic timing, configurable I/Os and up to 108,000 system gates for mid-density logic integration.

Designed for industrial applications, the device supports mixed-voltage I/O, hot-swap compliance, and in-system diagnostic capabilities, making it suitable for systems that require reliable, reprogrammable logic with flexible I/O and configuration control.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 108,000 available system gates and 6,036 logic elements provide substantial mid-range logic integration for glue-less designs and subsystem implementation.
• User I/O — 171 user-programmable I/O pins with configurable support for 5 V TTL/PCI, 3.3 V LVTTL and 2.5 V LVCMOS2 signaling; individual output slew rate control and selectable weak pull-up/pull-down at power-up.
• Performance — SX-A family performance characteristics include up to 250 MHz system performance and up to 350 MHz internal performance as documented for the family.
• Flip-Flop Resources — Up to 2,012 dedicated flip-flops for register and state-storage requirements.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Configuration — Built-in nonvolatile configuration reduces external configuration components and supports power-up/power-down friendly operation with no sequencing required for supply voltages.
• Power and Supply — Wide supply voltage support from 2.25 V to 5.25 V enabling mixed-voltage system integration and 5 V input tolerance with 5 V drive strength where applicable.
• Board-Level and Test Features — Hot-swap compliant I/Os, boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1 JTAG) support, and unique in-system diagnostic and verification capability with Silicon Explorer II (family feature).
• Package and Mounting — 208-pin package case (208-BFQFP) with surface-mount mounting type; supplier device package noted as 208-PQFP (28×28).
• Environmental and Grade — Industrial grade operation with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C and RoHS compliance.
• Security — Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ to protect configuration and help prevent reverse engineering (family feature).

Typical Applications

• PCI and Add-in Cards — Supports 66 MHz PCI-compliant interfaces and mixed-voltage I/O, suitable for logic, glue, and interface functions on PCI-based boards.
• Industrial Control — Industrial temperature rating and robust I/O options make the device suitable for motor control, factory automation logic, and control subsystem tasks.
• Mixed-Voltage System Integration — Use the configurable I/O and 5 V tolerant inputs for level translation, interface bridging, and systems combining TTL, LVTTL and LVCMOS2 domains.
• In-System Diagnostics and Development — Built-in diagnostic and verification capability (Silicon Explorer II family tool support) aids development, debugging, and in-field verification.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Mid-Range Logic Density: 108,000 system gates and 6,036 logic elements enable consolidation of multiple logic functions into a single device, reducing component count.
• Flexible, Mixed-Voltage I/O: Configurable I/O supports 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5 V standards with 5 V input tolerance, simplifying mixed-signal board design.
• Nonvolatile, Power-Friendly Configuration: Single-chip nonvolatile configuration eliminates external configuration memory and requires no supply sequencing on power-up/power-down.
• Industrial Reliability: Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C operation and provided in a surface-mount 208-pin package for reliable deployment in industrial environments.
• Built-In Security and Testability: FuseLock™ programming protection and JTAG boundary-scan support enhance IP protection and manufacturing testability.
• Performance Headroom: Family-documented internal and system performance figures provide headroom for timing-critical logic and internal paths.
