A42MX09-1PQ160

The A42MX09-1PQ160 from Microchip Technology is a commercial-grade field programmable gate array (FPGA) designed for compact, surface-mount digital logic implementations. It combines a moderate logic capacity with a generous I/O count to support custom glue logic, protocol handling, and interface consolidation in commercial embedded products.

With 336 logic elements (approximately 14,000 gates) and 101 general-purpose I/O pins, this device is targeted at designers needing flexible, reprogrammable logic in a 160-pin PQFP/BQFP package, operating from 3 V to 5.25 V and rated for 0 °C to 70 °C environments.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 336 logic elements supporting approximately 14,000 gates for moderate-complexity designs and custom logic functions.
• I/O Resources — 101 available I/O pins to implement multiple interfaces, parallel signals, and control lines directly on-chip.
• Package & Mounting — 160-BQFP package case; supplier device package listed as 160-PQFP (28×28). Surface-mount mounting simplifies PCB integration for compact board layouts.
• Power Supply — Operates across a 3 V to 5.25 V supply range to accommodate common digital logic voltage domains.
• Operating Range — Commercial temperature grade with an operating temperature of 0 °C to 70 °C for indoor and commercial embedded applications.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant, meeting common environmental and lead-free assembly requirements.

Typical Applications

• Consumer and Commercial Electronics — Implement custom control and interface logic where reprogrammability and multiple I/Os are required.
• Prototyping and Development — Rapidly iterate hardware logic with on-board reconfigurability using the device’s logic resources and GPIO count.
• Instrument Control — Handle digital signal routing, timing, and simple data aggregation tasks for benchtop or OEM instrumentation.
• Interface Bridging — Consolidate glue logic and protocol translation between subsystems using the available 101 I/Os.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Density: 336 logic elements and ~14,000 gates provide sufficient capacity for moderate-complexity custom logic without excessive board area.
• High I/O Count: 101 I/Os enable direct connection to multiple peripherals and bus lines, reducing external glue components.
• Flexible Supply Range: 3 V to 5.25 V operation supports compatibility with a variety of digital domains and legacy interfaces.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 160-pin PQFP/BQFP footprint (28×28 mm supplier listing) allows dense PCB layouts while retaining accessible pin count.
• Commercial Temperature Rating: Rated 0 °C to 70 °C to match typical indoor and commercial deployment conditions.
• RoHS Compliant: Designed for lead-free assembly and environmentally conscious manufacturing processes.
