A54SX32-1PQG208I

Overview

The A54SX32-1PQG208I is a nonvolatile Field Programmable Gate Array from the Microchip SX-A family, utilizing antifuse technology. It provides 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic modules within a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) package. The device supports mixed-voltage I/O operation at 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V levels with 5 V input tolerance. It features three global clock networks and operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Nonvolatile single-chip solution using metal-to-metal programmable antifuse interconnects for permanent configuration without external memory.
• Supports hot-swap capabilities and power-up/down friendly operation where supply voltage sequencing is not required.
• Includes dedicated routing resources such as DirectConnect and FastConnect for deterministic timing and high-speed signal propagation.
• Compliant with IEEE Standard 1149.1 Boundary-Scan Testing via JTAG interface.

Applications

• High-performance digital logic integration requiring deterministic timing
• Systems requiring hot-swappable FPGA insertion into active buses
• Industrial control applications operating in extended temperature environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'G' indicates RoHS compliant packaging if environmental compliance is required. Confirm that the '-1' speed grade meets the target system frequency requirements relative to standard grades. Ensure the PQFP package dimensions align with the PCB footprint design constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 48,000 system gates are sufficient for the design complexity. The Industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) is necessary for harsh environments. Verify that the 208-pin PQFP package is compatible with the assembly process and available board space compared to BGA alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Actel/Microchip SX-A family of antifuse FPGAs. It sits between the lower-density A54SX16A and higher-density A54SX72A devices in terms of logic capacity. The SX-A series is characterized by its nonvolatile nature and high-speed internal architecture.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package and speed grade are limited due to the discontinuation of certain speed grades. Consider the A54SX32A-1PQG208I if commercial temperature range is acceptable, or evaluate the A54SX32A-2PQG208I for higher performance needs.
