A42MX09-3PL84

The A42MX09-3PL84 is a commercial-grade MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology. It delivers moderate logic capacity and a flexible I/O count in a compact 84‑lead LCC (J‑lead) surface-mount package, suitable for a wide range of commercial embedded designs.

With 14,000 gates, 336 logic elements and 72 general-purpose I/Os, this device targets applications that require configurable logic, predictable supply support across 3 V to 5.25 V, and standard commercial temperature operation from 0 °C to 70 °C.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 14,000 gates and 336 logic elements provide moderate-density programmable logic for glue logic, combinational/sequential functions and control logic.
• I/O Count — 72 general-purpose I/Os enable flexible interfacing to peripherals, sensors and external devices.
• On‑chip Memory — Total on-chip RAM bits: 0, delivering a pure logic-focused FPGA architecture without embedded RAM resources.
• Power Supply — Operates across a 3 V to 5.25 V supply range to accommodate common commercial system voltages.
• Package & Mounting — 84‑lead LCC (J‑lead) / 84‑PLCC supplier package (29.31 × 29.31 mm); surface-mount mounting for PCB assembly.
• Operating Temperature & Grade — Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant for lead‑free manufacturing and assembly processes.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement custom logic, protocol conversion or feature offloads where moderate logic density and up to 72 I/Os are required.
• User Interface Control — Drive and manage button matrices, LEDs and simple display interfaces with configurable I/O and control logic.
• I/O Expansion and Glue Logic — Serve as an I/O bridge or glue logic device between microcontrollers and peripherals in commercial products.
• Prototyping and Proof-of-Concept — Provide a reprogrammable platform for validating logic designs and hardware architectures at commercial temperature ranges.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Density: 14,000 gates and 336 logic elements deliver sufficient capacity for many commercial logic tasks without excess cost or complexity.
• Generous I/O Count: 72 I/Os give designers flexibility to connect multiple peripherals and interfaces directly to the FPGA.
• Wide Supply Compatibility: 3 V to 5.25 V operation supports integration into a variety of commercial voltage domains.
• Surface-Mount PLCC Package: The 84‑lead LCC/PLCC form factor (29.31 × 29.31 mm) supports compact PCB layouts and standard assembly processes.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and RoHS compliant for mainstream commercial product deployments.
