A54SX32A-1FGG144M

Overview

The A54SX32A-1FGG144M is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the SX-A family, fabricated using 0.22 μm / 0.25 μm CMOS antifuse technology. It provides 48,000 system gates and includes 2,880 logic modules with 1,800 combinatorial cells and 1,080 dedicated flip-flops. The device supports up to 111 user-programmable I/O pins within a 144-pin Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package. It operates at a maximum system frequency of 250 MHz with internal performance reaching 350 MHz. The component is designed for military temperature ranges (-55°C to +125°C) and features nonvolatile configuration.

Feature Summary

• Supports hot-swap capabilities allowing insertion into active systems without damage or degradation.
• Features deterministic timing through metal-to-metal programmable antifuse interconnect elements.
• Includes IEEE 1149.1 compliant boundary-scan testing for diagnostic verification.
• Provides configurable weak-resistor pull-up or pull-down states during power-up.

Applications

• Military avionics and defense electronics requiring high reliability.
• Spacecraft control systems utilizing radiation-hardened or extended temperature components.
• High-performance industrial logic integration replacing complex CPLDs.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'M' against official Microchip documentation to confirm military temperature grade certification. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 144-pin FBGA package. Confirm that the design toolchain supports the SX-A antifuse architecture for proper programming and bitstream generation.

Selection Notes

Select this model when military-grade environmental tolerance is required alongside the specific resource count of the A54SX32A variant. The -1 speed grade offers approximately 15% faster performance than standard speed grades. Consider the FBGA package dimensions if board space is constrained compared to PQFP or TQFP alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Actel SX-A family of FPGAs, which utilizes antifuse technology for permanent, nonvolatile configuration. The SX-A series is known for its sea-of-modules architecture and deterministic timing characteristics. This specific part represents the mid-range capacity option within the family, balancing gate density with pin availability.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Cross-referencing with other SX-A variants requires verifying speed grade and package compatibility.
