A54SX72A-FPQ208

The A54SX72A-FPQ208 is a member of the SX‑A family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology. It is a nonvolatile, single‑chip FPGA delivering 108,000 system gates and approximately 6,036 logic elements for mid‑to‑high complexity logic integration.

Designed for applications that require mixed‑voltage I/O and robust system performance, the device combines high logic capacity with configurable I/O, deterministic timing features and built‑in security mechanisms to support embedded and PCI‑compatible designs within a commercial 0 °C to 70 °C temperature range.

Key Features

• Core Performance System performance up to 250 MHz and internal performance up to 350 MHz as specified for the SX‑A family.
• Logic Capacity 108,000 system gates with approximately 6,036 logic elements and up to 4,024 flip‑flops for complex combinatorial and sequential logic.
• I/O and Interface Support 171 user‑programmable I/Os with configurable support for 3.3 V/5 V PCI, 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL and 2.5 V LVCMOS2. I/Os include 5 V input tolerance and 5 V drive capability where supported.
• Nonvolatile Architecture & Security Single‑chip nonvolatile configuration with Actel Secure Programming Technology (FuseLock™) to prevent reverse engineering and protect IP.
• Power and Reliability Wide supply voltage range from 2.25 V to 5.25 V, hot‑swap compliant I/Os and power‑up/power‑down friendly operation (no supply sequencing required).
• System Test and Diagnostics Boundary‑scan testing (IEEE 1149.1 JTAG) and deterministic, user‑controllable timing enable in‑system test and verification.
• Packaging and Temperature Surface‑mount 208‑pin package (listed as 208‑BFQFP; supplier device package: 208‑PQFP 28×28) and commercial operating range 0 °C to 70 °C. RoHS compliant.
• Family Capabilities Supports up to 100% resource utilization and 100% pin locking as described for the SX‑A family devices.

Typical Applications

• PCI‑Compatible Systems Use the device’s 66 MHz PCI compliance and configurable 5 V/3.3 V I/O options to implement PCI interfaces and bridging logic.
• Mixed‑Voltage Embedded Designs Ideal where multiple I/O standards and 5 V tolerance are required for interfacing legacy and modern peripherals.
• In‑System Programmable Logic Nonvolatile single‑chip configuration and built‑in security make it suitable for embedded control and protected IP implementations.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated logic capacity: 108,000 system gates and ~6,036 logic elements reduce the need for external glue logic and simplify board design.
• Flexible mixed‑voltage I/O: Configurable I/O standards and 5 V tolerance support a wide range of peripheral interfaces without additional level shifters.
• Nonvolatile, secure configuration: Single‑chip nonvolatile architecture with FuseLock™ technology protects designs and removes external configuration components.
• Robust system performance: 250 MHz system and 350 MHz internal performance characteristics support demanding timing requirements.
• Design for testability: Boundary‑scan (IEEE 1149.1) and deterministic timing facilitate in‑system test, verification and debugging.
• Wide supply range and power friendliness: 2.25 V to 5.25 V operation with no required sequencing simplifies power rail design and hot‑swap scenarios.
