A54SX08A-FFGG144

Overview

The A54SX08A-FFGG144 is a nonvolatile Field Programmable Gate Array from the Microsemi SX-A family, utilizing antifuse technology. It features 768 Logic Modules and 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 standard speed grade of 250 MHz system performance and 350 MHz internal performance. 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

• Nonvolatile single-chip solution using metal-to-metal programmable antifuse interconnect elements.
• Supports hot-swap compliant I/Os allowing power-up/down without voltage sequencing requirements.
• Includes deterministic timing architecture with DirectConnect and FastConnect routing resources.
• Provides IEEE 1149.1 Boundary-Scan Testing compliance via JTAG interface.

Applications

• Low-power, high-performance logic integration designs
• Systems requiring deterministic timing and pin-locking capabilities
• Applications needing mixed-voltage I/O interfacing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm temperature range and packaging compliance. Confirm that the FBGA package dimensions match the design footprint. Ensure the selected speed grade meets the required system clock frequencies. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when antifuse nonvolatility and low standby current are required. Consider the 144-pin FBGA package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate the 111 available I/O count against system interface needs. Verify that the 250 MHz standard speed grade satisfies the maximum operating frequency requirements of the target application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Actel SX-A FPGA family, which utilizes 0.22 μm / 0.25 μm CMOS process technology. The SX-A series is designed to replace complex CPLDs and gate arrays by offering high-density logic in a single chip. The A54SX08A variant represents the entry-level capacity within this specific architectural generation.
