A54SX16P-2VQ100I

Overview

The A54SX16P-2VQ100I is a nonvolatile Field Programmable Gate Array from the Actel SX-A family, featuring 24,000 system gates and 81 user-programmable I/Os. It operates within a voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V with a nominal supply of 3.3 V or 5.0 V. The device supports mixed-voltage operation with 5 V input tolerance and drive strength. It achieves a maximum operating frequency of 240 MHz and functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a 100-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) package.

Feature Summary

• Supports hot-swap capabilities for simplified system integration without power sequencing requirements.
• Provides deterministic timing through unique metal-to-metal antifuse interconnect architecture.
• Includes IEEE 1149.1 compliant boundary-scan testing for enhanced diagnostic verification.

Applications

• High-performance logic integration requiring low-power consumption
• Systems demanding secure programming with reverse-engineering protection
• Industrial control applications requiring mixed-voltage I/O compatibility

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing processes evolve. Check for product discontinuation notices or lifecycle changes prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 24,000 system gates are required with a 100-pin footprint. Ensure the design utilizes 3.3 V or 5.0 V logic levels compatible with the specified I/O standards. Verify that the 240 MHz speed grade meets the target application's timing constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Actel SX-A series of antifuse FPGAs, which utilize a sea-of-modules architecture. The SX-A family is characterized by its nonvolatile nature, eliminating the need for external configuration memory. It bridges the gap between CPLDs and larger FPGAs in terms of density and performance.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Microchip documentation for verified cross-reference part numbers. Do not substitute based on generic pin counts alone; verify architectural compatibility and electrical specifications.
