A40MX04-1PQ100

The A40MX04-1PQ100 is a field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for commercial embedded applications. It provides a compact logic fabric with 547 logic elements (LEs) and approximately 6,000 gates, paired with 69 general-purpose I/O pins for interfacing to peripherals and sensors.

This surface-mount device is supplied in a 100‑lead BQFP package (supplier package noted as 100‑PQFP, 20×14) and operates from a 3 V to 5.25 V supply with a commercial temperature rating of 0°C to 70°C, making it suitable for consumer and standard commercial designs that require flexible programmable logic and moderate I/O density.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  547 logic elements and 6,000 gates provide a focused logic fabric for glue logic, control sequencing, finite-state machines, and simple protocol bridging.
• I/O Count  69 general-purpose I/O pins support multiple peripheral connections and sensor interfaces on a single device.
• Memory  No on-chip RAM (Total RAM Bits: 0); designs can concentrate on combinatorial and registered logic or add external memory where required.
• Power  Wide supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V allows direct integration with common 3 V and 5 V logic domains.
• Package and Mounting  100‑lead BQFP package (supplier device package: 100‑PQFP, 20×14) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB layouts.
• Environmental and Grade  Commercial grade device with RoHS compliance; operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C for standard commercial environments.

Typical Applications

• Consumer Electronics  Used for control logic, user interface handling, and peripheral switching in consumer devices that operate within commercial temperature ranges.
• Embedded Control  Suitable for board-level control functions such as timing, state machines, and protocol adaptation where moderate logic capacity and ample I/O are required.
• Prototyping and Development  A compact FPGA option for development of custom logic functions, evaluation of system partitioning, and early-stage hardware bring-up.
• Communications Peripherals  Can implement glue logic and simple interface conversions for peripherals and sub-systems needing flexible I/O mapping.

Unique Advantages

• Compact Logic Density:  547 logic elements and 6,000 gates deliver enough programmable logic for control and interfacing tasks without the overhead of larger FPGA families.
• Ample I/O in a Small Package:  69 I/O pins in a 100‑lead BQFP footprint enable multiple peripheral connections while keeping PCB area modest.
• Flexible Supply Range:  3 V to 5.25 V operation simplifies integration with common 3 V and 5 V systems and legacy logic domains.
• Surface-Mount, Board-Friendly Packaging:  The 100‑lead package supports automated assembly and compact board layouts for commercial products.
• Commercial Temperature Support:  0°C to 70°C rating aligns with consumer and general commercial product requirements.
• RoHS Compliant:  Meets RoHS environmental requirements for lead-free product designs.
