A42MX09-3PQ160

The A42MX09-3PQ160 is a commercial-grade MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology supplied in a 160-BQFP package. It provides a compact, surface-mount programmable-logic solution with 101 user I/O and a modest logic capacity suited to commercial embedded designs.

Designed for applications operating from 3 V to 5.25 V and within a 0 °C to 70 °C range, this device targets implementations that require flexible I/O, discrete logic integration and a compact package footprint.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Provides 336 logic elements and approximately 14,000 gates for implementing custom combinational and sequential logic.
• I/O Count — 101 user I/O pins enable flexible interfacing with peripherals, sensors and external logic devices.
• Memory — No embedded RAM on-chip (Total RAM Bits: 0), simplifying use cases where external memory is preferred or unnecessary.
• Power Supply — Operates across a broad 3 V to 5.25 V supply range to accommodate common commercial power rails.
• Package & Mounting — Supplied in a 160-BQFP (supplier package: 160-PQFP, 28×28) surface-mount package for high pin-count board designs.
• Operating Grade & Temperature — Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Standards — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement control logic and custom interfaces where 101 I/O lines and modest logic capacity meet system requirements.
• I/O Expansion and Interface Bridging — Serve as a programmable glue-logic device to consolidate or adapt multiple peripheral interfaces in compact board designs.
• Low- to Mid-Complexity Control — Implement state machines, protocol handling and peripheral management using the device’s 336 logic elements.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high pin-count package: The 160-BQFP (160-PQFP, 28×28) offers a high number of I/O in a space-efficient surface-mount form factor.
• Flexible power range: 3 V to 5.25 V operation supports a variety of commercial power architectures without complex power conversion.
• Appropriate logic density: 336 logic elements and ~14,000 gates provide deterministic capacity for modestly complex logic implementations.
• Commercial temperature suitability: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation to match standard commercial product environments.
• RoHS compliant: Meets common environmental compliance requirements for commercial electronics manufacturing.
