A42MX09-2PQ160

The A42MX09-2PQ160 is a commercial-grade MX family FPGA from Microchip Technology designed for mid-density, general-purpose programmable logic tasks. It provides a compact surface-mount 160-BQFP package with a broad supply voltage range and a generous complement of I/O for control, interface, and glue-logic functions in commercial electronic products.

This device targets designers who need modest logic capacity combined with flexible I/O and standard operating conditions, enabling rapid integration into space-constrained, commercially rated systems.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Provides approximately 336 logic elements and a gate count of 14,000, suitable for medium-complexity combinatorial and sequential logic implementations.
• I/O Density  101 user I/O pins support multiple external interfaces and parallel I/O requirements for control and front-end tasks.
• Package and Mounting  Supplied in a 160-BQFP (supplier package: 160-PQFP 28×28) surface-mount package for compact PCB layouts and automated assembly.
• Power Flexibility  Operates from a 3 V to 5.25 V supply range, allowing use with common commercial power rails and legacy 5 V logic domains.
• Commercial Temperature Range  Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation to meet standard commercial-environment requirements.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant for environmental and regulatory alignment in consumer and commercial products.

Typical Applications

• Consumer Electronics  Implement display controllers, input handling, and peripheral glue logic where compact package and multiple I/O are required.
• Embedded Control  Manage control functions and custom finite-state machines in commercial-grade embedded equipment.
• Interface Bridging  Provide protocol translation and signal conditioning between diverse logic domains using the device's plentiful I/O and flexible supply range.
• Prototyping & Development  Serve as a development platform for mid-density logic designs that require rapid programmability and board-level integration.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Gate Count:  Approximately 336 logic elements and 14,000 gates offer a practical balance for medium-complexity designs without excess overhead.
• High I/O Availability:  101 I/O pins enable multiple peripheral connections and parallel interfaces, reducing the need for external I/O expanders.
• Flexible Power Integration:  Wide 3 V–5.25 V supply range simplifies integration with both modern low-voltage and legacy 5 V systems.
• Compact Surface-Mount Footprint:  160-BQFP package supports dense PCB layouts and automated assembly processes for scalable production.
• Commercial-Grade Compatibility:  0 °C to 70 °C rating and RoHS compliance align with typical commercial product requirements and regulatory expectations.
• Manufacturer Support:  From Microchip Technology, offering consistency and availability for commercial design and production cycles.
