The ACTEL A54SX72A-CQ208B is a HiRel SX-A family antifuse-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Actel (Microsemi / Microchip), offering 72,000 equivalent system gates and 4,024 logic cells on a 0.22µm / 0.25µm CMOS antifuse process. The "CQ208B" suffix identifies the 208-pin ceramic QFP hermetic package and military B-grade temperature rating of –55°C to +125°C. As a HiRel device without a speed grade suffix, the A54SX72A-CQ208B operates at the standard speed grade, making it a cost-effective option for military and aerospace designs where the highest frequency performance is not required.
Unlike reprogrammable FPGAs, the ACTEL A54SX72A-CQ208B uses one-time programmable antifuse technology, making it inherently immune to configuration upset, reverse engineering, and unauthorized modification. It supports mixed-voltage I/O operation at 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V — including 66 MHz PCI compliance — with hot-swap compliant I/Os and individual output slew rate control. Actel's FuseLock security technology permanently prevents internal probing and design theft, making the ACTEL A54SX72A-CQ208B the trusted choice for classified and defense-grade logic designs.
