A54SX16-CQ256 概述

The Microsemi (now Microchip) A54SX16-CQ256 is an SX-family antifuse FPGA with an estimated 24,000 system gates, 1452 logic array blocks (LABs), and 180 user I/Os, housed in a 256-ball fine-pitch ceramic CQFP package (256-BFCQFP exposed pad and tie bar, 75x75 mm body).

An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a semiconductor device containing a fabric of configurable logic blocks and programmable interconnects that the designer wires together after manufacturing. The SX family uses a sea-of-modules architecture combined with a one-time-programmable antifuse interconnect, placing it in the hierarchy: FPGA -> programmable logic device -> programmable semiconductor. Unlike SRAM FPGAs, the antifuse configuration is non-volatile and immune to configuration readback.

Key features include the sea-of-modules architecture that delivers high routing efficiency and deterministic timing, dual supply operation (3.0 V to 3.6 V core/ring and 4.75 V to 5.25 V per the device specification page), 180 programmable I/O pins for wide bus interfaces, and a ceramic CQFP package suited to demanding environments. Antifuse programming also removes the need for an external configuration PROM, reducing BOM cost and board area.

Technically, the device offers an estimated 24,000 gates and 1452 LABs in a performance-oriented architecture that the manufacturer states enables dramatic reductions in design cost, power, and time-to-market for performance-intensive applications. Logic is implemented in a fine-grained module structure that simplifies synthesis and timing closure compared with coarse-grained alternatives.

Typical applications include aerospace and industrial control logic, bus bridging and glue logic consolidation, communication equipment state machines, and military-grade systems where ceramic packaging and one-time programmability are preferred.

Design consideration: because the device is one-time programmable, verify the complete design in simulation and, ideally, on a prototyping device before committing the production part - programming errors cannot be erased.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, verified drop-in alternatives, pin-count guidance, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet.

典型应用

A54SX16-CQ256 适用于 6 应用s: Aerospace and Defense Logic, Industrial Control and Automation, Communication Equipment State Machines, Bus Bridging and Glue Logic Consolidation, Test and Measurement Instrumentation, Medical Device Control Logic.

✈️

Aerospace and Defense Logic

The A54SX16-CQ256 fits aerospace and defense processing platforms because its antifuse configuration is one-time programmable and cannot be read back or altered in flight, unlike SRAM-based FPGAs whose configuration stream is a known attack and SEU surface. With an estimated 24,000 gates, 1452 LABs, and 180 user I/Os, it consolidates glue logic, bus interfaces, and state machines that would otherwise occupy multiple MIL-qualified devices. The ceramic 256-BFCQFP (75x75) package with exposed pad and tie bar supports high-reliability solder attachment and thermal management in conduction-cooled assemblies. Typically placed between a processor and backplane interfaces with 3.0-3.6 V I/O supply rails, it adds no configuration PROM to the BOM, improving board-level reliability.

🏭

Industrial Control and Automation

In industrial controllers, the A54SX16-CQ256 implements deterministic sequencing, interlock logic, and parallel bus bridging where fixed, non-volatile configuration is preferred over reconfigurable SRAM fabrics. The sea-of-modules architecture delivers predictable timing across the 24,000-gate fabric, so safety interlocks and watchdog logic behave identically on every power-up without configuration loading delay. The 180 programmable I/Os interface PLC backplanes, encoders, and relay driver banks at 3.0-3.6 V levels, while the ceramic 256-CQFP package withstands vibration and temperature cycling better than plastic packages. Because the device is programmed once on a Silicon Sculptor (SM208CQ-ACTEL-2 adapter), production units are identical, simplifying factory acceptance testing and long-term field support.

🌐

Communication Equipment State Machines

Telecom and datacom line cards use the A54SX16-CQ256 for framing logic, alarm aggregation, and backplane handshaking. The 180 user I/O pins address wide parallel buses such as legacy T1/E1 framers and backplane connectors, while the antifuse fabric guarantees that critical failover state machines are active immediately at power-up - no configuration time window exists during which the card is offline. Operating from the specified 3.0-3.6 V and 4.75-5.25 V supply ranges, the device slots into mixed 5 V/3.3 V legacy backplane environments. The one-time-programmable nature also protects carrier-grade firmware IP, since the bitstream physically cannot be extracted from the programmed antifuse network.

🔧

Bus Bridging and Glue Logic Consolidation

The A54SX16-CQ256 is a classic glue-logic consolidator: with an estimated 24,000 gates and 180 I/Os it replaces dozens of 74-series devices, PALs, and CPLDs across processor-peripheral boundaries, cutting board area, assembly cost, and failure points. The fine-grained sea-of-modules architecture maps random combinatorial logic and address decoders efficiently, and the antifuse interconnect provides fixed, low-skew routing between I/O rings and internal modules. Because configuration is non-volatile, bridged buses are functional the instant supplies reach the 3.0-3.6 V operating window, which matters in systems where peripherals must be reachable by an early-boot processor. The 256-CQFP exposed-pad package simplifies rework and inspection on legacy production lines.

🔬

Test and Measurement Instrumentation

Instrument front ends and timing generators benefit from the A54SX16-CQ256's deterministic, configuration-free startup: counters, trigger arbiters, and scan controllers implemented in the antifuse fabric are live before any host configuration cycle completes. The 1452 LABs implement wide counters and comparators, while 180 I/O pins drive probe multiplexers, relay matrices, and backplane trigger buses in the 3.0-3.6 V domain. Ceramic CQFP packaging tolerates the thermal cycling typical of bench instruments with frequent power cycles. Once programmed via Silicon Sculptor with the SM208CQ-ACTEL-2 module, every instrument shipped contains bit-identical logic, which eases calibration traceability and regulatory documentation across long service lifetimes.

💊

Medical Device Control Logic

Diagnostic and monitoring equipment uses the A54SX16-CQ256 where predictable, immutable control logic supports regulatory validation. Because the antifuse configuration cannot silently change, a validated logic image remains validated for the service life of the device - there is no firmware-update surface in the FPGA itself. The 24,000-gate capacity covers motor sequencing for sample handling, sensor multiplexing across 180 I/O pins, and safety interlocks, with the ceramic 256-BFCQFP package providing mechanical robustness for portable and cart-based systems. Power design is straightforward: a 3.0-3.6 V I/O supply plus the specified 4.75-5.25 V rail, with no configuration PROM to monitor during power-on self-test.

What is the gate count and I/O count of the A54SX16-CQ256?
The A54SX16-CQ256 provides an estimated 24,000 system gates, 1452 logic array blocks (LABs), and 180 programmable user I/O pins. According to the Microchip/Microsemi SX family product page and distributor listings, the device belongs to the SX sea-of-modules FPGA family and is packaged in a 256-BFCQFP ceramic package with exposed pad and tie bar.
What supply voltages does the A54SX16-CQ256 require?
The A54SX16-CQ256 operates from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply range and also specifies a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply range per the Microsemi specification page. This dual-range requirement reflects the SX family architecture, where I/O ring and programming-related rails differ from the core supply. Designers should confirm which rail maps to VCCI versus the programming supply in the SX family datasheet before finalizing the power tree.
What package does the A54SX16-CQ256 come in?
The A54SX16-CQ256 is housed in a 256-BFCQFP (ceramic quad flat pack) package with exposed pad and tie bar, described by DigiKey as a 256-CQFP (75x75) supplier device package. The ceramic construction supports demanding environmental requirements, and the exposed pad and tie bar aid mechanical mounting and thermal/electrical grounding on the PCB.
Where can I buy the A54SX16-CQ256 online?
The A54SX16-CQ256 can be purchased from XAIPART and is also listed on DigiKey Electronics, where the listing indicates the item ships the same day when ordered, and on Octopart, which compares bulk pricing from 5 distributors. Because this is a legacy Microsemi/Microchip FPGA, stock levels vary; XAIPART supports quote-based ordering for volume requirements, and pricing should be confirmed as of the current date.
How much does the A54SX16-CQ256 cost?
Pricing for the A54SX16-CQ256 is quote-based because it is a legacy ceramic-package FPGA with limited distributor stock. Octopart compares offers from 5 distributors for this part, and DigiKey lists it as in stock and shipping today as of the retrieval date. XAIPART does not publish fixed quantity-break prices for this MPN; contact XAIPART sales for a current quote, since legacy antifuse FPGA pricing fluctuates with remaining inventory.
What is the lead time for the A54SX16-CQ256?
Lead time for the A54SX16-CQ256 depends on remaining channel inventory: DigiKey shows the part ships immediately from stock as of the retrieval date, so small quantities carry distributor shelf lead time of days. For larger volumes beyond existing stock, Microchip legacy-product lead times can extend to many weeks or months. XAIPART recommends confirming exact lead time at quote stage, since production of the antifuse SX family is constrained for legacy devices.
Is the A54SX16-CQ256 the same as the A54SX16-CQ256B?
No - the A54SX16-CQ256B is a distinct orderable variant, not an identical part. Both share the Microsemi SX series die characteristics (same supply ranges of 3 V to 3.6 V and 4.75 V to 5.25 V, same 256-CQFP 75x75 package, same 24,000-gate class), but the B suffix denotes a different manufacturing/qualification flow. Per the specification pages, both are 256-BFCQFP devices; always confirm qualification requirements before substituting one for the other.
A54SX16-CQ256 vs A54SX16-CQ256B - which should I use?
Choose the A54SX16-CQ256 for continuity with existing qualified designs and available distributor stock; choose the A54SX16-CQ256B when your qualification flow specifies the B-suffix build standard. Electrically and mechanically both use the same SX die class, identical supply ranges (3-3.6 V and 4.75-5.25 V), and the same 256-BFCQFP exposed-pad package. The decision is driven by build-standard and traceability requirements, not by performance, since published logic capacity (24k gates, 180 I/O) is the same.
When should I choose the A54SX16-CQ256 over other SX family members?
Choose the A54SX16-CQ256 when your design needs roughly 24,000 gates, 180 user I/Os, and a ceramic CQFP package, and your project must remain on the proven SX antifuse architecture. If you need more logic, the A54SX32 family members (for example A54SX32-CQ208 or A54SX32-BG329) offer higher capacity; if you need less, the A54SX08 fits. The CQFP-256 package is the deciding factor when surface-mount ceramic packaging with tie bar is mandated by the application environment.
Is the A54SX16-CQ256 suitable for aerospace and defense applications?
Yes, the A54SX16-CQ256 is well suited to aerospace, defense, and high-reliability industrial applications. Its ceramic 256-BFCQFP package with exposed pad and tie bar, antifuse one-time-programmable configuration (immune to configuration readback and single-event configuration upsets compared to SRAM FPGAs), and Microsemi heritage make it a common choice for legacy high-reliability designs. Verify the exact qualification level (standard, B-suffix, or military temperature variants) against your program requirements before release.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the A54SX16-CQ256?
The closest drop-in replacement is the A54SX16-CQ256B, which uses the same SX die, the same 256-BFCQFP (75x75) ceramic package, and the same supply ranges (3-3.6 V and 4.75-5.25 V), differing only in build/qualification suffix. The A54SX16-1CQ256 (faster speed grade in the same package) is also pin-compatible. No cross-brand pin-compatible equivalent exists for Actel/Microsemi antifuse FPGAs, so replacement within the same Microchip SX family is the only footprint-compatible path.
Can a Xilinx or Altera FPGA replace the A54SX16-CQ256?
No cross-brand FPGA can serve as a true drop-in replacement for the A54SX16-CQ256. The 256-BFCQFP ceramic package with exposed pad and tie bar and the Actel SX antifuse pinout are proprietary to Microsemi/Microchip, so Xilinx, Altera (Intel), or Lattice devices require PCB redesign and recompilation. Functional (not pin-compatible) migration is possible after logic redesign, but per the SX datasheet and industry cross-reference practice, footprint-compatible substitution only exists within the SX family itself.
Where can I download the A54SX16-CQ256 datasheet PDF?
The SX family datasheet covering the A54SX16-CQ256 is available from Microchip Technology at ww1.microchip.com (document a54sx_ds.pdf, titled '54SX Family FPGAs'). The same document is mirrored on Alldatasheet as the Actel A54SX16 datasheet (approximately 64 pages, about 504 KB). XAIPART also links the official Microchip PDF directly from this product page so you always get the current manufacturer revision.
Where can I find the pinout of the A54SX16-CQ256?
The A54SX16-CQ256 pinout is defined in the Microchip '54SX Family FPGAs' datasheet in the package pinout tables for the CQ256 ceramic package. Because 180 of the 256 pins are user-definable I/Os whose function depends on your design, the pin table must be read together with your Libero/Designer pin report. The Silicon Sculptor SM208CQ-ACTEL-2 adapter module is used to program CQ256 devices per Microchip support documentation.
How do I program the A54SX16-CQ256?
The A54SX16-CQ256 is programmed on a Silicon Sculptor programmer using the SM208CQ-ACTEL-2 adapter module. According to Microchip support documentation, the same adapter module programs both CQ208 and CQ256 devices within the SX family - for example, the A54SX32-CQ208 and A54SX16-CQ256 share the SM208CQ-ACTEL-2 module - but Microchip advises checking the latest adapter module recommendation before programming. Because the antifuse fabric is one-time programmable, always validate the fuse file on a prototype device first.
What is the best Microchip equivalent for the A54SX16-CQ256?
The best Microchip (Microsemi) equivalent is the A54SX16-CQ256B, followed by the A54SX16-1CQ256 speed grade - both share the 256-BFCQFP exposed-pad ceramic package and identical supply ranges of 3-3.6 V and 4.75-5.25 V. Within the wider SX family, A54SX32 CQFP/BGA devices provide more logic but different pinouts, so they are functional upgrades rather than drop-in equivalents. All SX family devices program on the same Silicon Sculptor toolchain with the appropriate adapter.
What are the key specifications of the A54SX16-CQ256 that engineers should know?
Engineers should know these five facts about the A54SX16-CQ256: (1) it is a Microsemi SX antifuse FPGA with an estimated 24,000 system gates and 1452 LABs; (2) it provides 180 programmable user I/O pins; (3) it operates from 3.0-3.6 V and 4.75-5.25 V supplies; (4) it is packaged in a 256-BFCQFP exposed-pad ceramic package with 75x75 mm body; (5) it is one-time programmable, so design verification must precede programming. Pin-compatible variants include the A54SX16-CQ256B and A54SX16-1CQ256.
Is the A54SX16-CQ256 still in production and in stock?
The A54SX16-CQ256 remains listed as an orderable legacy part: DigiKey shows 'Order today, ships today' availability as of the retrieval date, and Octopart aggregates stock from 5 distributors. Microchip continues to support the SX family through its legacy product line, though it is not recommended for new designs. For guaranteed supply, XAIPART recommends placing volume orders early, since antifuse FPGA production runs are limited and distributor stock is the primary channel.

工程参考数据: A54SX16-CQ256 ——对比、设计指导和合规信息。

选型指南

Choose the A54SX16-CQ256 when you must sustain an existing qualified design using the SX antifuse architecture with 24,000 gates, 180 I/Os, and the 256-BFCQFP ceramic package, and distributor stock (DigiKey shows same-day shipment) meets your schedule. Choose the A54SX16-CQ256B when your program's qualification flow specifies the B-suffix build standard - it is electrically and footprint identical. Choose the A54SX16-1CQ256 if timing margins are tight, since its -1 speed grade provides faster operation in the same footprint. If you need more logic, migrate to A54SX32 family parts, but note those are functional upgrades requiring PCB and pinout changes, not drop-in replacements. No cross-brand FPGA (Xilinx, Intel/Altera, Lattice) is pin-compatible; migration to any other vendor is a full redesign. For all choices, remember the device is one-time programmable: validate the design completely before committing production parts.

设计说明

The A54SX16-CQ256 is one-time programmable: antifuse links are permanently blown during programming and cannot be erased. Never program a production unit directly from an unverified fuse file. Reserve a prototype device (or a -2 speed grade unit) for programming-trial runs, and complete gate-level simulation plus static timing analysis in Libero/Designer before committing. Microchip support also advises checking the latest SM208CQ-ACTEL-2 adapter module recommendation before each programming session, since adapter firmware revisions matter for CQ256 devices.

The device specifies two supply ranges: 3.0-3.6 V and 4.75-5.25 V per the Microsemi specification page. Map these rails to VCCI and the programming-related supply per the SX family datasheet pin tables, and ensure the 5 V rail is present during any in-system programming scenario. Because antifuse FPGAs draw essentially no static configuration current, decouple each rail with local 0.1 uF ceramics plus bulk capacitance at the board entry point; there is no configuration-PROM inrush to budget for, simplifying the power-up sequencing design.

The 256-BFCQFP has an exposed pad and tie bar that should be bonded to the PCB ground plane to meet the manufacturer's mechanical and electrical intent. Use a footprint with via-in-pad or perimeter vias under the pad for low-inductance grounding. With 180 user I/Os on a 75x75 mm ceramic body, maintain controlled-impedance routing on fast switching banks and stagger break-out traces to avoid necking between adjacent CQFP leads. Confirm land-pattern dimensions against the current Microchip package drawing rather than legacy Actel footprints.
