A54SX32A-FTQ100

Overview

The A54SX32A-FTQ100 is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the SX-A family, featuring 48,000 system gates and 81 user-programmable I/O pins. It utilizes 0.22 μm / 0.25 μm CMOS antifuse technology to deliver up to 250 MHz system performance with 350 MHz internal clock speeds. The device operates within a voltage range of 2.25 V to 2.75 V for core logic and supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V. Packaged in a 100-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP), it provides deterministic timing through patented metal-to-metal interconnects.

Feature Summary

• Patented metal-to-metal antifuse architecture ensures permanent connections with low capacitance and resistance for high-speed signal propagation.
• Supports hot-swap capabilities allowing safe insertion into active systems without power sequencing requirements.
• Includes dedicated DirectConnect and FastConnect routing resources to minimize logic delays and maximize resource utilization.
• Integrates IEEE 1149.1 compliant Boundary-Scan Testing for enhanced diagnostic and verification capabilities.

Applications

• High-performance digital logic integration requiring deterministic timing
• Systems necessitating hot-swappable interface modules
• Secure embedded designs utilizing nonvolatile antifuse configuration
