The A40MX04-3PL68I is an MX family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for mid-density logic integration in industrial applications. It provides a balance of logic resources, I/O capacity and flexible supply options for embedded control and custom logic tasks.

Key hardware characteristics include 547 logic elements, 57 general-purpose I/O pins, a 68-lead PLCC J-lead surface-mount package, a wide supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V, and an industrial operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 547 logic elements (CLBs) and approximately 6,000 gates provide mid-range programmable logic capacity for glue logic, state machines and control functions.
• I/O Capability — 57 general-purpose I/O pins support a variety of external interfaces and custom signal routing in a single device.
• Package and Mounting — 68-LCC (J-Lead) / 68-PLCC surface-mount package, supplier device package size 68-PLCC (24.23 × 24.23 mm) for PCB designs requiring a compact PLCC footprint.
• Power and Voltage — Operates from 3 V to 5.5 V, enabling compatibility with common TTL/CMOS supply domains.
• Environmental and Reliability — Industrial-grade specification with an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance for regulatory adherence.
• On-Chip Memory — Total on-chip RAM bits: 0 (no embedded RAM), enabling deterministic logic implementations where external memory is used as needed.

Typical Applications

• Industrial control logic — Implement custom control, sequencing and interfacing functions using the device’s 547 logic elements and 57 I/O pins within industrial temperature ranges.
• Peripheral and I/O bridging — Aggregate and translate signals between modules or sensor arrays with available general-purpose I/O and mid-range logic capacity.
• Custom glue logic — Replace discrete logic ICs and simplify BOM by consolidating interface and control functions into a single FPGA package.

Unique Advantages

• Mid-density programmable logic: 547 logic elements and ~6,000 gates provide sufficient capacity for many embedded control and interface tasks without unnecessary complexity.
• Generous I/O count: Fifty-seven I/O pins enable direct connections to multiple peripherals, sensors and external devices, reducing the need for additional interface chips.
• Flexible power domain support: 3 V to 5.5 V supply range allows integration into a variety of legacy and modern system power architectures.
• Industrial-rated operation: Specified -40 °C to 85 °C operation supports deployment in temperature-challenging environments.
• Compact PLCC package: 68-PLCC (24.23 × 24.23 mm) J-lead surface-mount package simplifies PCB layout for space-constrained designs.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for reduced hazardous substances in electronics assemblies.
