A54SX16P-2TQ144

Overview

The A54SX16P-2TQ144 is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the Actel SX-A family, fabricated using 0.22 μm / 0.25 μm CMOS antifuse technology. It contains 1452 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and provides 24,000 typical system gates. The device supports up to 360 user-programmable I/O pins and includes up to 2,012 dedicated flip-flops. It operates with a maximum internal clock frequency of 350 MHz and delivers 250 MHz system performance. The component is housed in a 144-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) package.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes metal-to-metal programmable antifuse interconnect elements for permanent low-impedance connections.
• Supports hot-swap compliant I/Os allowing insertion into active systems without power sequencing requirements.
• Features deterministic timing through unique local routing resources including DirectConnect and FastConnect.
• Includes Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock to prevent reverse engineering.

Applications

• High-performance logic integration replacing complex programmable logic devices
• Fast counters and state machine implementations requiring predictable propagation delays
• Data path logic designs utilizing high-speed pin-to-pin timing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm temperature grade and packaging compliance. Confirm that the -2 speed grade designation aligns with the required performance specifications for the target application design.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 24,000 system gates and 1452 CLBs are sufficient for the design complexity. Ensure the TQFP-144 package fits the board layout constraints. Verify that the commercial temperature range meets the operational environment requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Actel SX-A family of FPGAs, which are designed as single-chip solutions for low-power, high-performance applications. The family utilizes nonvolatile antifuse technology, eliminating the need for external configuration memory.
