A54SX72A-FPQG208

The A54SX72A-FPQG208 is a nonvolatile SX-A family FPGA from Microchip Technology furnished in a 208-pin BFQFP package. It provides 108,000 system gates and 6,036 logic elements with 171 user-programmable I/Os, making it suitable for designs that require a single-chip, reconfigurable logic device with extensive I/O and mixed-voltage support.

Key architectural characteristics include high internal and system performance, configurable I/O standards, on-chip security features and built-in test/diagnostic capabilities. The device operates from a 2.25 V to 5.25 V supply range and is specified for commercial temperature operation from 0 °C to 70 °C. The device is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Performance  System performance up to 250 MHz and internal performance up to 350 MHz provide headroom for timing-critical functions.
• Logic Capacity  108,000 system gates with 6,036 logic elements to implement mid-range combinational and sequential logic.
• User I/O  171 user-programmable I/Os with configurable standards for 3.3 V / 5 V PCI, 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL and 2.5 V LVCMOS2; supports 5 V input tolerance and 5 V drive strength.
• Power and Voltage  Wide supply support from 2.25 V to 5.25 V, with mixed-voltage operation for 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5 V domains and power-up/power-down friendly behavior (no sequencing required).
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Configuration  Built-in nonvolatile configuration eliminates the need for external configuration memory devices.
• I/O Robustness and Control  Hot-swap compliant I/Os, configurable weak pull-up or pull-down at power-up, and individual output slew-rate control for signal integrity management.
• Security and IP Protection  Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ prevents reverse engineering and design theft.
• Test and Diagnostics  IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan testing and in-system diagnostic/verification capability with Silicon Explorer II.
• Package and Temperature  Available in a 208-pin BFQFP (supplier package listed as 208-PQFP 28×28) and rated for commercial temperature operation from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• PCI interfacing and bridging  Use the device's 66 MHz PCI compliance and configurable 3.3 V/5 V PCI I/O support for PCI interface logic and protocol adaptation.
• Mixed-voltage glue logic  Integrate logic between 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5 V subsystems leveraging 5 V-tolerant I/Os and mixed-voltage operation.
• In-system test and verification  Employ IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan and Silicon Explorer II diagnostics for production test, board bring-up and in-field verification.
• Secure, nonvolatile FPGA functions  Deploy on-board logic that must retain configuration without external memory while benefiting from built-in IP protection (FuseLock).

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile single-chip solution: Eliminates external configuration memory and simplifies BOM and board layout.
• Flexible mixed-voltage I/O: Supports 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5 V domains with 5 V input tolerance and drive, enabling direct interfacing across different logic families.
• High usable logic capacity: 108,000 system gates and 6,036 logic elements provide significant room for complex glue logic, state machines and peripheral interfaces.
• Built-in security: FuseLock secure programming protects intellectual property and design confidentiality.
• Robust testability and diagnostics: JTAG boundary-scan plus in-system diagnostic support accelerate board-level testing and debug.
• Power-friendly behavior: Power-up/down friendly operation and hot-swap compliant I/Os reduce system integration constraints during power sequencing and field servicing.
