A40MX04-1PLG68

The A40MX04-1PLG68 is a Microchip Technology MX-series field programmable gate array supplied in a 68-lead LCC (J-lead) surface-mount package. It provides 547 logic elements (approximately 6,000 equivalent gates) and 57 user I/O pins, making it suitable for commercial-grade designs that require compact, programmable logic in a RoHS-compliant package.

Designed for operation from 3 V to 5.25 V and rated for 0 °C to 70 °C, this device targets commercial embedded systems where a moderate-density, pin-count FPGA can replace discrete glue logic or implement custom control and interfacing functions.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  547 logic elements (reported as number of logic element cells) and approximately 6,000 gates provide mid-density programmable logic for control, glue logic, and custom finite-state machines.
• I/O  57 user I/O pins support signal interfacing across the device, enabling multiple peripheral and bus connections on a single chip.
• On-chip Memory  Total on-chip RAM bits: 0. The device focuses resources on logic elements rather than embedded RAM.
• Power  Operates over a broad supply range of 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate both 3.3 V and 5 V system architectures.
• Package & Mounting  68-LCC (J-Lead) surface-mount package; supplier device package listed as 68-PLCC with nominal outline 24.23 × 24.23 mm.
• Temperature & Grade  Commercial grade device specified for operation from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS-compliant manufacturing and materials.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems  Implements custom control logic and interface functions where a commercial-temperature FPGA is appropriate.
• Board-Level Glue Logic  Consolidates multiple discrete logic functions into a single device to reduce BOM and PCB area.
• User Interface Control  Drives and monitors control panels, button matrices, and simple display control using available I/O and programmable logic.
• Peripheral/Bus Bridging  Provides protocol adaptation and signal translation between peripheral devices and system buses using the FPGA’s I/O resources and logic elements.

Unique Advantages

• Mid-density programmable logic: Combines 547 logic elements and ~6,000 gates to address designs that need more capability than small CPLDs without moving to high-density FPGAs.
• Flexible supply range: 3 V to 5.25 V operation allows easy integration into legacy 5 V systems and modern 3.3 V boards.
• Compact, serviceable package: 68-LCC (J-lead) surface-mount package in a 24.23 × 24.23 mm outline offers a space-efficient footprint for board-level designs.
• Commercial temperature suitability: Rated 0 °C to 70 °C for deployments where commercial-grade thermal range is appropriate.
• Regulatory friendliness: RoHS compliance supports environmentally regulated product designs and manufacturing processes.
