A54SX08A-PQG208I

Overview

The A54SX08A-PQG208I is an industrial-grade FPGA from the SX-A family, housed in a 208-pin PQFP package. It provides 12,000 system gates and 768 logic modules (512 C-cells, 256 R-cells). The device supports up to 130 user I/Os and operates within a voltage range of 2.25V to 5.25V. It features three global clocks and complies with IEEE 1149.1 for boundary-scan testing.

Feature Summary

• Nonvolatile antifuse architecture providing permanent configuration without external memory
• Hot-swap compliant I/Os allowing safe insertion into active systems
• Configurable mixed-voltage support for 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V standards

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic timing
• High-reliability aerospace and defense applications
• Complex digital logic integration replacing multiple CPLDs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'G' if RoHS compliance is required, as standard packaging may differ. Confirm the temperature grade 'I' matches the operational environment requirements. Ensure the design software version supports the SX-A family for proper programming.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs needing approximately 12,000 system gates with industrial temperature stability. Consider higher capacity devices like the A54SX16A if more logic resources are needed. Verify that the 208-pin PQFP footprint fits the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Actel SX-A family, acquired by Microsemi. It utilizes 0.22/0.25 micron CMOS technology. The SX-A series is known for high performance and security features like FuseLock to prevent reverse engineering.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible alternatives within the same family include A54SX08A-1PQ208I or A54SX08A-2PQ208I for faster speed grades. Cross-family replacements require checking pin compatibility and resource availability.
