A42MX09-PQ100M

The A42MX09-PQ100M is a Microchip Technology MX series field programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 100-pin BQFP package. It provides a compact, military-grade programmable logic solution with a defined gate and I/O resource set for embedded systems that require wide temperature and supply tolerances.

This device targets designs needing a moderate logic capacity with 83 user I/O pins, operation over a broad voltage range, and qualification for military temperature extremes.

Key Features

• FPGA Core  MX field programmable gate array architecture in a 100-pin BQFP package.
• Logic Capacity  336 logic elements and approximately 14,000 gates to implement custom digital functions.
• I/O  83 user I/Os for interfacing with peripherals and external circuitry.
• Memory  No on-chip RAM (total RAM bits: 0), enabling designs that use external memory or are RAM-free.
• Supply Voltage  Operates from 3 V to 5.5 V to support a range of system power architectures.
• Temperature & Grade  Military grade with an operating temperature range of −55°C to 125°C for use in harsh environments.
• Package & Mounting  100-BQFP package (supplier device package listed as 100-PQFP 20×14) with surface-mount mounting type.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Military and Defense Systems  Military-grade temperature range and wide supply tolerance make this FPGA suitable for embedded control and signal-processing tasks in defense applications.
• Harsh-Environment Embedded Electronics  Use in ruggedized instrumentation and control units where operation from −55°C to 125°C is required.
• Custom Logic and I/O Bridging  Implement glue logic, protocol converters, or peripheral interfacing using the device’s 83 I/O pins and programmable logic resources.

Unique Advantages
