A54SX08-1PL84I

Overview

The Microsemi A54SX08-1PL84I is an antifuse-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the SX-A family. It features 12,000 system gates and 768 logic modules. The device supports up to 130 user-programmable I/O pins and operates within a voltage range of 2.25V to 5.25V. It is housed in a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) package. The industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) is indicated by the 'I' suffix.

Feature Summary

• Antifuse technology providing nonvolatile configuration without external memory
• Hot-swap compliant I/Os allowing safe insertion into active systems
• Support for mixed-voltage operation including 3.3V and 5V standards

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic timing
• Hardware prototyping for embedded designs
• Secure applications utilizing anti-reverse engineering capabilities

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status as packaging options may vary. Ensure design tools support the SX-A architecture for successful programming.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-chip nonvolatile FPGA solution is required. Consider the 208-pin PQFP package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate the 12,000 gate capacity against design complexity requirements before finalizing the part number.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Actel/Microsemi SX-A family of FPGAs. It utilizes proprietary metal-to-metal antifuse interconnects for high performance and security. The family offers various speed grades and package options to suit different application needs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for updated speed grades or packages within the same SX-A series. Verify if newer Microchip FPGA families offer pin-compatible alternatives with enhanced features.
