A54SX08-1VQG100I

Overview

The A54SX08-1VQG100I is an antifuse-based Field Programmable Gate Array from the Microsemi SX-A family. It provides 12,000 system gates and supports up to 81 user-programmable I/O pins within a 100-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) package. The device operates at an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and features mixed-voltage I/O support for 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V standards. Key architectural elements include 768 logic modules, dedicated flip-flops, and high-drive clock networks.

Feature Summary

• Supports hot-swap operations with configurable power-up states
• Features deterministic timing through metal-to-metal antifuse interconnects
• Includes IEEE 1149.1 compliant boundary-scan testing capabilities

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring mixed-voltage interfaces
• High-performance logic integration replacing complex CPLDs
• Secure embedded designs utilizing nonvolatile antifuse technology

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against current manufacturer documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status as packaging options may vary. Ensure design tools are compatible with the SX-A architecture before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring robust single-chip FPGA solutions with high security against reverse engineering. Consider the 12,000 gate capacity and 81 I/O limit for moderate complexity designs. Verify voltage domain requirements match the supported 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V I/O configurations.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Actel SX-A family of FPGAs, which utilizes proprietary antifuse technology for permanent configuration. The series is known for high performance and low power consumption, offering a cost-effective alternative to volatile SRAM-based FPGAs in secure environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package and speed grade should be verified via official substitution lists. Cross-family migration requires re-evaluation of logic resources and I/O constraints.
