• Nonvolatile antifuse architecture providing inherent design security
• Hot-swap compliant I/Os allowing safe insertion into active systems
• Integrated boundary scan testing (JTAG) for diagnostic verification

Applications

• In-cabin telematics systems
• Automobile interconnect applications
• Performance-intensive embedded logic integration

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Microsemi distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific packaging markings against official datasheet specifications. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this part for designs requiring high-density logic in automotive environments. Verify that the 144-pin FBGA package fits the PCB footprint constraints. Ensure the design utilizes the available global clock resources effectively to meet timing requirements at the specified operating temperatures.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Actel SX-A Automotive Family FPGAs series. It shares architectural similarities with other SX-A devices like the A54SX16A and A54SX72A but offers a specific gate count and I/O density suitable for mid-range automotive control applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements are not explicitly listed in the provided documentation. Consider evaluating other members of the SX-A family, such as the A54SX16A or A54SX72A, if gate count adjustments are permissible, though package and pin counts may differ.
