A54SX08A-2FG144

Overview

The A54SX08A-2FG144 is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the SX-A family, manufactured by Microsemi. It features 768 logic modules and approximately 12,000 system gates. The device supports up to 111 user-programmable I/O pins and includes 512 dedicated flip-flops. It operates with a maximum system performance of 250 MHz and an internal clock frequency of 350 MHz. The part utilizes a 144-pin Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package with a 1.0 mm pitch. It supports mixed-voltage operation at 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V, with 5 V input tolerance.

Feature Summary

• Nonvolatile antifuse architecture providing permanent configuration without external memory
• Hot-swap compliant I/Os allowing insertion into active systems without power sequencing
• Deterministic timing through metal-to-metal programmable interconnect elements
• Integrated Boundary-Scan Testing (BST) compliant with IEEE Standard 1149.1

Applications

• High-performance digital signal processing
• PCI bus interface designs
• State machine implementations requiring deterministic timing
• Secure embedded control applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type, speed grade, and temperature range. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for the target assembly process. Check for any product discontinuation notices or lifecycle changes issued by Microchip Technology prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a nonvolatile FPGA solution with high-speed deterministic performance is required. The -2 speed grade offers approximately 25% faster performance than the standard grade. Ensure the design fits within the 768 logic module capacity and verify that the FBGA144 package pin count meets the I/O requirements of the application.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Actel SX-A family of FPGAs, which are fabricated using 0.22 μm / 0.25 μm CMOS antifuse technology. The family is designed for low-power, high-performance applications, offering a single-chip solution that integrates complex logic functions previously requiring multiple CPLDs or gate arrays.
