A54SX72A-CQ208

The A54SX72A-CQ208 is a commercial-grade SX-A family FPGA from Microchip Technology supplied in a 208‑pin BFCQFP package with tie bar. It delivers a high-capacity, fixed-architecture FPGA option with 108,000 system gates and 6,036 logic elements for custom logic integration and board-level programmable functions.

Designed for applications requiring flexible I/O and mixed-voltage support, the device provides up to 171 user-programmable I/Os, a wide supply range (2.25 V to 5.25 V), and standard commercial operating temperature support (0 °C to 70 °C).

Key Features

• Capacity and Logic — 108,000 system gates and 6,036 logic elements (combinatorial cells and logic modules) for complex glue logic, protocol handling, and custom datapaths.
• I/O and Voltage Flexibility — Up to 171 user-programmable I/Os in the 208‑pin package; device-level voltage supply range of 2.25 V to 5.25 V and family-level mixed-voltage I/O support.
• Performance — Documented device timing includes a 6.7 ns clock‑to‑out (pin‑to‑pin) figure for the A54SX72A device and multiple on-chip clock resources (3 global clocks, 4 quadrant clocks) to support synchronous designs.
• Memory — No dedicated on‑chip RAM bits (Total Ram Bits: 0), making the device suited to designs emphasizing combinatorial and registered logic elements rather than embedded RAM.
• Package and Mounting — 208‑BFCQFP with tie bar, surface‑mount; supplier package listed as 208‑CQFP (75×75).
• Standards and Test Support — Family-level features include boundary-scan testing (IEEE 1149.1 JTAG) and power-up/power-down friendly operation (no supply sequencing required), as documented in the product family datasheet.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded systems and control logic — Implement custom control, state machines, and protocol logic using 6,036 logic elements and up to 171 I/Os for board-level integration.
• Mixed‑voltage interface bridging — Use the device’s wide supply range and family-level mixed-voltage I/O support to interface between 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5 V domains on a single chip.
• PCI and legacy bus interfacing — Family documentation indicates support for 3.3 V / 5 V PCI signaling, enabling use in systems that require legacy bus compatibility.
• Prototyping and system integration — High gate count and plentiful I/O make the device suitable for system prototypes and consolidating multiple discrete logic functions into a single FPGA.

Unique Advantages

• High logic capacity: 108,000 system gates and 6,036 logic elements provide headroom for complex state machines, glue logic, and protocol accelerators.
• Flexible I/O and voltage range: Up to 171 user I/Os and a 2.25 V to 5.25 V supply range simplify integration with mixed-voltage system components.
• Deterministic timing resources: Multiple global and quadrant clocks and documented clock‑to‑out timing (6.7 ns) support predictable synchronous design.
• Board-level packaging: 208‑pin BFCQFP surface-mount package with tie bar offers a standardized footprint for high-density board designs.
• Testability and integration: Boundary-scan support and power-up/power-down friendly behavior (family-level) help streamline manufacturing test and system bring-up.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for designs requiring restricted‑substance conformance.
