Overview of A42MX09-PL84 – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC, 72 I/O, 84-LCC (J-Lead)
The A42MX09-PL84 is an MX family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in an 84-lead LCC (J-lead) surface-mount package. It provides a moderate logic resource set with approximately 336 logic elements (about 14,000 gates) and 72 general-purpose I/O pins, targeting commercial-grade programmable logic requirements.
Designed for 3 V to 5.25 V supply domains and rated for commercial operating temperatures (0 °C to 70 °C), this device suits embedded designs that require configurable logic, flexible I/O, and a compact PLCC footprint.
Key Features
- Logic Resources Approximately 336 logic elements and 14,000 logic gates provide moderate combinational and sequential capability for glue logic, state machines, and custom control functions.
- I/O Capacity 72 user I/O pins enable broad interfacing possibilities for parallel buses, GPIO, and multiple external peripherals.
- On-chip Memory Total on-chip RAM: 0 bits—suitable for designs that rely on external memory or do not require embedded RAM resources.
- Power and Voltage Operates across a 3 V to 5.25 V supply range to accommodate common commercial logic voltage domains.
- Package and Mounting 84-LCC (J-lead) / 84-PLCC package (29.31 × 29.31 mm) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB assembly where a compact PLCC footprint is preferred.
- Operating Temperature Commercial temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C for typical commercial and office-environment applications.
- Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant for reduced hazardous substances in manufacturing and assembly.
Typical Applications
- Commercial Embedded Systems Implement control logic, protocol handling, or custom peripheral interfaces within commercial electronic products.
- I/O Expansion and Glue Logic Provide programmable interfacing between processors and peripheral devices where flexible pin assignments and configurable logic are useful.
- Prototyping and Evaluation Use as a moderate-density FPGA option for proof-of-concept designs or feature validation in commercial development projects.
Unique Advantages
- Moderate Logic Density: ~336 logic elements and 14,000 gates offer a balance between capability and cost for mid-range programmable functions.
- Generous I/O Count: 72 I/O pins allow integration of multiple external signals without additional expansion hardware.
- Wide Supply Compatibility: 3 V to 5.25 V operation supports common commercial logic families and mixed-voltage designs.
- Compact PLCC Packaging: 84-LCC (J-lead) package with a 29.31 × 29.31 mm footprint provides a space-efficient option for surface-mount assembly.
- Commercial Temperature Grade: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation, suitable for standard commercial-environment electronics.
- RoHS Compliant: Complies with RoHS requirements for environmental and manufacturing considerations.
