A42MX09-FPLG84

The A42MX09-FPLG84 is a commercial-grade MX family FPGA from Microchip Technology designed for mid-density, general-purpose programmable logic tasks. It provides 336 logic elements (approximately 14,000 gates) and 72 user I/O pins in a surface-mount 84-LCC (J‑Lead) package.

With a wide supply range of 3 V to 5.25 V and a commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C, this device is targeted at commercial and consumer electronic designs that require flexible logic integration, interface consolidation, and compact packaging.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 336 logic elements providing approximately 14,000 gates for implementing combinational and sequential logic in mid-density designs.
• I/O — 72 user I/O pins to support multiple peripheral interfaces and signal aggregation without external glue logic.
• Memory — Total on-chip RAM bits: 0 (no embedded RAM), suitable when external memory or logic-only implementations are intended.
• Power Supply — Flexible voltage supply from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common commercial system rails.
• Package & Mounting — 84-LCC (J‑Lead) surface-mount package; supplier device package listed as 84-PLCC with a 29.31 × 29.31 mm footprint for compact board integration.
• Operating Grade — Commercial grade with specified operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C for standard commercial environments.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant, supporting environmental and regulatory considerations for commercial electronics.

Typical Applications

• Consumer & Commercial Electronics — Implement control logic, user interface handling, and peripheral glue for products that operate within commercial temperature ranges.
• Interface Aggregation — Consolidate multiple discrete interfaces and timing logic into a single programmable device using 72 I/Os.
• Prototyping and Evaluation — Evaluate mid-density logic functions and proof-of-concept designs where on-chip RAM is not required.
• Peripheral Control — Manage peripherals, simple state machines, and signal routing for compact board designs.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Density: 336 logic elements and ~14,000 gates provide a middle ground between small CPLDs and larger FPGAs, ideal for moderately complex designs.
• Generous I/O Count: Seventy-two I/Os reduce the need for external buffers and simplify board-level signal routing.
• Flexible Power Range: Supports 3 V to 5.25 V supplies to match common commercial system voltages and simplify power sequencing.
• Surface-Mount Packaging: 84-LCC (J‑Lead) / 84-PLCC footprint enables compact PCB layouts while maintaining ample pinout for I/O and control signals.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS requirements for environmental compliance in commercial products.
