A40MX04-1PL44M

The A40MX04-1PL44M is a Microchip Technology MX-series field programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 44-lead PLCC (J-lead) surface-mount package. It provides 547 logic elements (cells), roughly 6,000 equivalent gates and 34 general-purpose I/O pins, making it suitable for compact, military-grade embedded logic tasks.

Designed for operation from 3 V to 5.5 V and across a wide temperature range (−55 °C to 125 °C), this device addresses applications that require robust thermal performance and military-grade qualification while remaining a compact, low-pin-count programmable logic option.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  547 logic elements (cells) and approximately 6,000 gates provide the basis for implementing medium-complexity glue logic, state machines, and control functions.
• I/O Count  34 general-purpose I/O pins allow flexible interfacing to peripherals, sensors, and other digital subsystems.
• Memory  Total on-chip RAM: 0 bits, suitable for designs that rely on external memory or are optimized for combinational and sequential logic without embedded RAM.
• Power  Wide supply range from 3 V to 5.5 V supports integration into systems with different power rails and legacy voltage domains.
• Package and Mounting  44-LCC (J-lead) / 44-PLCC (16.59 × 16.59 mm) surface-mount package provides a compact footprint for PCB assembly.
• Operating Environment  Military-grade operating temperature range of −55 °C to 125 °C for deployment in harsh thermal environments.
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant for alignment with lead-free assembly requirements.

Typical Applications

• Military and Defense Systems  Military-grade temperature rating enables use in ruggedized electronics and airborne/ground systems requiring extended thermal performance.
• Embedded Control  Implement control logic, state machines, and interface glue in compact systems where a moderate number of I/Os and logic elements are sufficient.
• Signal and Interface Conditioning  Use the available I/O and programmable logic to adapt, translate, or buffer signals between subsystems in constrained PCB spaces.

Unique Advantages

• Military-grade thermal capability: The −55 °C to 125 °C operating range supports deployment in extreme environments without additional thermal derating.
• Flexible voltage support: Operation from 3 V to 5.5 V allows integration with a variety of legacy and modern power architectures.
• Compact surface-mount PLCC package: 44-lead PLCC (16.59 × 16.59 mm) gives a small PCB footprint while preserving easy routing for moderate pin counts.
• Deterministic logic resources: 547 logic elements and ~6,000 gates provide a clear resource profile for planning medium-complexity implementations.
• RoHS compliance: Meets lead-free assembly requirements for modern manufacturing flows.
