A40MX04-PL84A

The A40MX04-PL84A is an MX family field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, provided in an 84-lead LCC (J-Lead) surface-mount package. It offers a mid-range complement of programmable logic resources and I/O for designs that require configurable logic with automotive-grade qualification.

With 547 logic elements, 69 user I/O pins, AEC-Q100 qualification and operation from -40 °C to 125 °C, this device targets applications that need reliable, configurable logic in demanding temperature and voltage environments.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 547 logic elements and 6,000 gates provide a flexible resource pool for implementing custom glue logic, state machines, and small-to-mid-size FPGA functions.
• I/O  69 general-purpose I/O pins enable connection to multiple peripherals, sensors, and external interfaces.
• Memory  No embedded on-chip RAM (0 bits), simplifying predictable resource budgeting when external memory or dedicated buffers are used.
• Supply Voltage  Operates across a wide supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common power domains in embedded and automotive systems.
• Temperature Range  Rated for operation from -40 °C to 125 °C to support deployment in high- and low-temperature environments.
• Automotive Qualification  AEC-Q100 qualification and automotive grade designation make the device suitable for automotive electronic applications requiring component-level qualification.
• Package and Mounting  Surface-mount 84-LCC (J-Lead) package, 29.31 × 29.31 mm, for compact board-level integration.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS-compliant for global manufacturing and environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive control modules  AEC-Q100 qualification and a −40 °C to 125 °C range support configurable logic functions in automotive subsystems.
• Embedded control and interfacing  Use the device’s logic elements and 69 I/O to implement glue logic, custom interface bridges, and peripheral management in embedded systems.
• I/O expansion and protocol adaptation  Deploy as a programmable I/O hub or protocol adapter where a moderate number of configurable I/Os and gates are required.
• Harsh-environment electronics  Wide operating temperature and automotive qualification make the device a fit for equipment exposed to demanding thermal conditions.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-qualified reliability: AEC-Q100 qualification and automotive grade designation provide documented qualification for automotive designs.
