A42MX09-1PQG160M

The A42MX09-1PQG160M is an MX-series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology supplied in a 160-BQFP surface-mount package. It provides approximately 14,000 gates implemented across 336 logic elements and exposes 101 I/O pins, supporting custom digital logic, interfacing, and control functions in compact assemblies.

Designed for harsh-environment applications, this military-grade FPGA supports a wide supply range and an extended operating temperature range, making it suitable for ruggedized systems that require predictable behavior across -55 °C to 125 °C.

Key Features

• Core Logic 336 logic elements (approximately 14,000 gates) for implementing combinational and sequential logic, glue logic, and custom state machines.
• I/O Density 101 user I/O pins to support multiple external interfaces and peripherals without immediate need for external expanders.
• Voltage Flexibility Operates from 3 V to 5.5 V, enabling compatibility with a range of system supply rails and legacy interfaces.
• Package & Mounting 160-BQFP package (supplier device package: 160-PQFP, 28 × 28) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB space-efficient assembly.
• Temperature & Grade Military-grade qualification with an operating temperature range of -55 °C to 125 °C for deployment in rugged and high-reliability systems.
• Memory Total on-chip RAM: 0 bits, for applications that use external memory or require minimal internal storage.
• Regulatory RoHS compliant, supporting environmentally responsible manufacturing and assembly processes.

Typical Applications

• Defense & Aerospace Electronics — Implement custom logic, protocol conversion, and control functions in systems requiring military-grade temperature performance.
• Industrial Control — Small-footprint control and interface duties where a compact FPGA with substantial I/O and wide supply range is needed.
• Embedded Prototyping — Rapid hardware iteration for custom digital blocks, glue logic, and I/O consolidation in prototype or low-volume production builds.
• Communications Interfaces — Custom protocol adaptation and signal routing using the available I/O resources and programmable logic fabric.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, programmable logic capacity: 336 logic elements and ~14,000 gates provide a balance of capability and small silicon footprint for targeted digital functions.
• High I/O count in a compact package: 101 I/O pins in a 160-BQFP package enable multiple peripheral connections without a larger package.
• Wide supply voltage compatibility: 3 V to 5.5 V operation eases integration with diverse system power rails and legacy interfaces.
• Military-grade thermal range: Rated from -55 °C to 125 °C to support reliability in demanding temperature environments.
• Surface-mount packaging: 160-BQFP surface-mount form factor supports automated assembly and dense PCB layouts.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental compliance requirements for modern manufacturing.
