A54SX72A-FG256A

The A54SX72A-FG256A is an SX-A family, automotive-grade nonvolatile FPGA supplied in a 256-ball fine-pitch BGA package. It delivers a high-density programmable logic fabric with deterministic timing, a broad I/O complement, and on-chip security features tailored for safety- and reliability-focused embedded designs.

Targeted at automotive and other applications that require automotive qualification, the device combines 108,000 system gates and 6,036 logic elements with up to 203 user-programmable I/Os, configurable I/O standards, and a wide supply and temperature range for demanding environments.

Key Features

• Core Capacity — 108,000 system gates and approximately 6,036 logic elements with up to 2,012 dedicated flip-flops for implementing complex logic and state machines.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip FPGA — Nonvolatile configuration memory preserves device configuration without external volatile storage.
• I/O and Package — 203 user-programmable I/Os in a 256-ball FPBGA (17 × 17 mm) surface-mount package to support dense board-level integration.
• Configurable I/O Standards — I/O support for 3.3V PCI, 3.3V LVTTL and 2.5V LVCMOS2 signaling; includes individual output slew-rate control and configurable weak pull-up/pull-down at power-up.
• Performance and Interfaces — 250 MHz internal performance rating and 66 MHz PCI compliance documented for the SX-A family.
• Robust Power and I/O Behavior — Hot-swap compliant I/Os and power-up/power-down friendly operation (no sequencing required for supply voltages).
• Security and Test — Secure programming technology (FuseLock™) to protect designs and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan (JTAG) for board-level testability.
• Automotive Qualification and Operating Range — Automotive grade with AEC-Q100 qualification, operating supply range 2.25 V to 5.25 V and rated for −40 °C to 125 °C.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant packaging option available.
• On-chip Memory — No embedded RAM (Total RAM Bits: 0); design architectures should account for off-chip memory if required.

Typical Applications

• Automotive body and control electronics — Automotive-grade qualification and wide temperature operation make the device suitable for configurable logic in vehicle subsystems where nonvolatile configuration and robust I/O behavior are required.
• In-vehicle communication and interface bridging — Configurable I/O standards and 203 user I/Os support varied interface requirements and protocol bridging at the board level.
• Embedded control and instrumentation — Deterministic timing, high logic capacity, and secure programming support control logic, diagnostics, and in-system verification functions.
• PCI-based and legacy system support — SX-A family PCI compliance (66 MHz) enables integration into systems with PCI signaling needs.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-qualified component: AEC-Q100 qualification and a −40 °C to 125 °C operating range provide documented suitability for automotive applications.
• Nonvolatile configuration: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory and simplifies system power-up behavior.
• High I/O density in a compact BGA: 203 user I/Os in a 256-FPBGA (17×17 mm) package enables dense connectivity while minimizing PCB footprint.
• Flexible voltage support and I/O control: Wide supply range (2.25 V–5.25 V) plus support for multiple I/O standards and individual slew-rate control simplifies mixed-voltage system integration.
• Built-in security and testability: FuseLock™ secure programming combined with IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan supports IP protection and in-system test strategies.
• Power- and board-friendly I/O: Hot-swap compliant I/Os and power-up/down friendly operation reduce sequencing constraints for system designers.
