A54SX08A-FGG144A

Overview

The Microsemi A54SX08A-FGG144A is an automotive-grade Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the SX-A family, utilizing a sea-of-modules architecture. It features 768 combinatorial cells and 256 dedicated flip-flops, providing 12,000 typical system gates. The device operates within a voltage range of 2.25V to 5.25V and supports internal clock frequencies up to 250 MHz. It is housed in a 144-pin Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package with a 1.0mm pitch. The component is designed for extended temperature ranges, supporting operation from -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Automotive-grade reliability with extended temperature support (-40°C to +125°C)
• Nonvolatile antifuse technology ensuring secure design protection
• Hot-swap compliant I/Os allowing safe insertion without power sequencing
• Deterministic timing with user-controllable resource utilization

Applications

• In-cabin telematics systems
• Automobile interconnect applications
• Performance-intensive embedded logic integration

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'FGG144A' corresponds to the specific FBGA-144 package and Automotive grade requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the 'G' suffix if applicable to your supply chain standards. Ensure the source documentation explicitly lists this exact part number variant to avoid confusion with commercial or industrial grades.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing for harsh automotive environments requiring wide temperature tolerance. The SX-A architecture offers high logic density relative to its pin count, suitable for complex state machines and datapath logic. Consider the nonvolatile nature of the device if configuration retention during power loss is critical for the application.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Actel/Microsemi SX-A family of antifuse FPGAs. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the A54SX16A and A54SX32A but provides lower gate counts. The 'A' designation specifically denotes the Automotive temperature grade, distinguishing it from standard commercial variants.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the FBGA-144 package and Automotive temperature grade. Verify compatibility with existing layout tools and ensure the replacement maintains the required 250 MHz internal performance and hot-swap capabilities.
