A54SX16P-2VQ100

Overview

The A54SX16P-2VQ100 is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the SX-A family, featuring 24,000 system gates and 1,452 configurable logic blocks. It operates with a maximum clock frequency of 320 MHz and supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V. The device utilizes antifuse technology for nonvolatile configuration and includes dedicated flip-flops for sequential logic. It is housed in a 100-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) package.

Feature Summary

• Supports hot-swap operations and power-up/down without supply voltage sequencing requirements.
• Provides deterministic timing through metal-to-metal programmable antifuse interconnect elements.
• Includes boundary-scan testing capabilities compliant with IEEE Standard 1149.1 (JTAG).
• Features individually selectable output slew rates and configurable weak-resistor pull-ups or pull-downs.

Applications

• High-performance digital signal processing systems requiring low latency.
• Industrial control applications utilizing mixed-voltage I/O interfaces.
• Prototyping complex logic designs previously implemented in gate arrays.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the temperature grade and packaging compliance. Confirm that the component matches the required speed grade for the target application timing constraints. Ensure the design accounts for the nonvolatile nature of the antifuse technology during programming.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 24,000 system gates are sufficient for the design complexity. Consider the TQFP-100 package if surface-mount space is limited but pin count requires more than smaller packages offer. Verify that the 320 MHz performance meets the system clock requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Actel SX-A family of FPGAs, which are fabricated using 0.22 μm / 0.25 μm CMOS antifuse technology. The family provides a single-chip solution for high-performance, low-power designs with support for multiple I/O voltage standards.

Replacement Considerations

Check for other speed grades within the A54SX16A series, such as -1 or -2, if different timing characteristics are needed. Verify compatibility with alternative packages like PQFP or FBGA if pin count or form factor changes are acceptable.
