A42MX09-1PQG160

The A42MX09-1PQG160 is a commercial-grade MX field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology. It provides a moderate logic capacity with 336 logic elements (approximately 14,000 gates) and 101 user I/O pins in a surface-mount 160-BQFP (160-PQFP, 28×28) package.

Designed for commercial electronic designs operating between 0 °C and 70 °C, this FPGA supports a wide supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.25 V and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for a variety of general-purpose control, interfacing, and glue-logic roles in 3.0–5.25 V systems.

Key Features

• Core Logic  336 logic elements delivering approximately 14,000 gates for implementing moderate-density logic functions and finite-state machines.
• I/O Count  101 user I/O pins provided for flexible interfacing to peripherals, sensors, and external logic.
• On-chip Memory  No embedded RAM (0 total RAM bits), suitable for designs that use external memory or do not require internal block RAM.
• Voltage Supply  Supports a broad supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common commercial digital power rails.
• Package & Mounting  Surface-mount 160-BQFP (supplier package: 160-PQFP, 28×28) for established PCB assembly flows and compact board integration.
• Operating Conditions  Commercial-grade operation specified from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant, supporting regulatory and environmental requirements for lead-free designs.

Typical Applications

• Commercial control logic  Implement medium-complexity state machines and control functions in 3.0–5.25 V products where on-chip RAM is not required.
• I/O expansion and interface bridging  Use the 101 I/O pins for signal conversion, bus interfacing, or protocol glue between discrete components and microcontrollers.
• Prototyping and proof-of-concept  Evaluate logic partitioning and validate system-level timing with a moderate-density FPGA in a standard PQFP package.
• User interface control  Drive and manage buttons, LEDs, and simple displays within the device’s commercial operating temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• Right-sized logic capacity: 336 logic elements and ~14,000 gates provide measurable capability for medium-complexity implementations without excessive overhead.
• Generous I/O count: 101 user I/Os give designers flexibility to connect multiple peripherals and interfaces directly to the FPGA.
• Wide supply compatibility: Operation across 3 V to 5.25 V simplifies integration into designs using common digital power rails.
• Standard surface-mount PQFP package: 160-BQFP (28×28) supports conventional PCB assembly and helps contain board area for compact designs.
• Commercial operating range and RoHS compliance: Specified 0 °C to 70 °C operation and RoHS status align with typical commercial product requirements.
