A54SX08A-2FGG144

Overview

The A54SX08A-2FGG144 is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the Microsemi SX-A family, utilizing antifuse technology. It features 768 logic modules and approximately 12,000 system gates. The device supports up to 111 user-programmable I/O pins within a 144-pin Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package with a 1.0 mm pitch. It operates at a maximum system frequency of 250 MHz and an internal clock speed of 350 MHz. The component supports mixed-voltage operation for 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V I/Os with 5 V input tolerance.

Feature Summary

• Supports hot-swap capabilities and power-up/down friendly operation without voltage sequencing requirements.
• Provides deterministic timing through unique local routing resources including DirectConnect and FastConnect.
• Includes Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock to prevent reverse engineering and design theft.

Applications

• Integration of CPLD and FPGA functionality into single-chip solutions.
• Designs requiring 66 MHz PCI compliance.
• Applications necessitating high-speed counters and state machines.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'I' indicates Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the 'G' suffix denotes RoHS compliant packaging. Ensure the specific part number matches the required speed grade '-2' for performance specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 12,000 system gates are sufficient for the design logic. The -2 speed grade offers approximately 25% faster performance than the standard grade. Verify that the FBGA package fits the PCB footprint constraints and thermal requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SX-A family of FPGAs manufactured by Microsemi (formerly Actel). The family utilizes 0.22 μm / 0.25 μm CMOS antifuse process technology. The A54SX08A variant represents the entry-level capacity within the series, offering 768 logic modules.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible parts include other variants in the A54SX08A series such as A54SX08A-1FGG144 or A54SX08A-FGG144, provided the speed grade and temperature range meet the application requirements.
