Technical Specifications

The A54SX08A-PQ208 features a certain number of logic modules or gates, typically around 8,000 (verify this from the datasheet). The PQ208 package provides a defined number of I/O pins for external connections. Antifuse-based FPGAs require a high-voltage programming process to permanently configure the device. The device is designed for high-reliability applications and is often used in radiation-sensitive environments due to its inherent tolerance. The device operates at a specific voltage, and its power consumption depends on the design implementation. Refer to the Microsemi datasheet for detailed timing parameters, power consumption, and programming specifications. It's known for its security features, making it suitable for critical applications. Its non-volatile configuration ensures that the programmed logic remains intact even when power is removed.
