A40MX04-PL68M

The A40MX04-PL68M is an MX family field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for military-grade embedded applications. It delivers approximately 547 logic elements (CLBs) — representing about 6,000 gate equivalents — and provides 57 user I/O lines in a 68-lead PLCC J-lead surface-mount package.

With a wide supply-voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V and an operating temperature range of −55 °C to 125 °C, this device is tailored for systems that require moderate logic integration, robust temperature tolerance and a compact PLCC form factor.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 547 logic elements (CLBs) providing roughly 6,000 gate equivalents for medium-density logic integration and glue-logic functions.
• I/O  57 general-purpose I/O pins to support a range of peripheral interfaces and signal routing within embedded systems.
• On-Chip Memory  No embedded RAM bits on-chip, suitable for designs that rely on external memory or implement logic without internal RAM.
• Package & Mounting  68‑lead PLCC (J‑lead) surface-mount package with supplier device package dimensions of 24.23 × 24.23 mm, enabling compact board-level integration.
• Supply Voltage  Operates from 3 V to 5.5 V to accommodate a variety of legacy and modern supply domains.
• Temperature & Grade  Military-grade qualification with an operating temperature range of −55 °C to 125 °C for high-reliability and rugged-environment deployments.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Military & Aerospace  Rugged embedded control and interface logic where military temperature ratings and reliability are required.
• Rugged Embedded Systems  Custom I/O handling and glue logic in systems operating across a wide temperature range and multiple supply voltages.
• Custom Peripheral Control  Moderate-density control logic for interfacing sensors, actuators and peripherals using the available 57 I/O lines.
• Low- to Mid-Density Logic Integration  Consolidation of discrete logic into a single FPGA for compact board layouts using ~547 logic elements.

Unique Advantages

• Military-Grade Temperature Capability:  Rated from −55 °C to 125 °C to support deployment in harsh and temperature-extreme environments.
• Flexible Supply Range:  3 V to 5.5 V operation enables compatibility with a broad set of legacy and modern system supplies.
• Compact PLCC Packaging:  68‑lead PLCC (J‑lead) surface-mount package offers a balance of I/O density and compact PCB footprint.
• Moderate Logic Density:  Approximately 547 logic elements (≈6,000 gates) suitable for consolidating medium-complexity logic functions.
• Ample I/O Count:  57 user I/O pins to support diverse peripheral interfaces without external I/O expanders.
• RoHS Compliant:  Meets environmental compliance requirements for lead-free assembly processes.
