A54SX08A-FG144

Overview

The A54SX08A-FG144 is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the Microsemi SX-A family, utilizing antifuse technology. It provides 12,000 system gates and 768 logic modules (CLBs). The device features up to 130 user-programmable I/Os and supports mixed-voltage operation at 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V with 5 V input tolerance. It operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and utilizes a 144-pin Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package.

Feature Summary

• Supports hot-swap capabilities for non-PCI I/Os, allowing insertion into active systems without power sequencing requirements.
• Includes deterministic timing through dedicated routing resources like DirectConnect and FastConnect for predictable signal propagation.
• Provides secure programming via FuseLock technology to prevent reverse engineering and unauthorized design access.

Applications

• Integration of complex CPLD functionality into single-chip solutions
• High-performance digital logic designs requiring deterministic timing
• Systems requiring mixed-voltage I/O interfacing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official datasheets to confirm package type, speed grade, and temperature range. Confirm RoHS compliance status as packaging options vary. Ensure compatibility with Actel Designer software versions for proper configuration and bitstream generation.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring 12,000 system gates with high-speed performance. Consider the FG144 package for fine-pitch board layouts. Verify that the standard speed grade meets timing constraints, noting that faster grades are available in other part numbers.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SX-A family of antifuse FPGAs, designed for cost-effective, low-power, and high-performance applications. The family ranges from 12,000 to 108,000 system gates, offering various package options including PQFP, TQFP, PBGA, and FBGA configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible alternatives within the same family include A54SX08A-TQ144 or A54SX08A-PQ208, depending on required pin count and package style. Speed grades such as -1 or -2 offer higher performance but may require verification of timing constraints.
