A42MX09-FPQ160

The A42MX09-FPQ160 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology designed for commercial electronic applications. It provides programmable digital logic with 336 logic elements and approximately 14,000 gates, supporting designs that require moderate logic density and flexible I/O capability.

Packaged in a 160-BQFP surface-mount package and rated for 101 I/O pins, the device operates from 3 V to 5.25 V and across a commercial temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C. The device is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 336 logic elements and 14,000 gates to implement combinational and sequential logic functions for moderate-complexity designs.
• I/O Density — 101 general-purpose I/O pins provide broad connectivity for sensors, peripherals and bus interfacing within a single package.
• Package and Mounting — 160-BQFP package in a surface-mount form factor (supplier package: 160-PQFP 28×28) for compact board-level integration.
• Supply Voltage — Wide operating supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common commercial power rails.
• Temperature and Grade — Commercial-grade operation from 0 °C to 70 °C for consumer and general-purpose electronics.
• Memory — No embedded on-chip RAM (0 total RAM bits), appropriate for designs that use external memory or do not require internal RAM.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant, supporting lead-free manufacturing processes.

Typical Applications

• Commercial embedded control — Implement control logic and state machines in consumer and general-purpose equipment within the commercial temperature range.
• I/O bridging and interface logic — Use the 101 I/O pins to consolidate peripheral interfaces and protocol translation in compact PCB designs.
• Prototyping and evaluation — Deploy as a programmable logic element for development boards and functional validation where moderate logic density is required.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic density: 336 logic elements and 14,000 gates provide sufficient capacity for many control and glue-logic tasks without unnecessary complexity.
• High I/O count: 101 I/O pins enable extensive peripheral and sensor connectivity from a single FPGA package, reducing external glue components.
• Flexible power compatibility: Operating from 3 V to 5.25 V makes the device adaptable to a range of commercial power architectures.
• Compact surface-mount packaging: 160-BQFP (160-PQFP 28×28) supports dense board layouts and industry-standard assembly processes.
• Commercial readiness: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliant, suitable for consumer and general-purpose electronic products.
