Overview of A42MX09-PQ144 – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 95
The A42MX09-PQ144 is an MX field programmable gate array (FPGA) offered in a 144-pin PQFP package and specified for commercial-grade applications. It provides a compact, surface-mount FPGA option with a balance of logic capacity, I/O count and flexible supply voltage to support board-level digital logic integration.
Key characteristics include approximately 14,000 gates of logic, 336 logic element cells, 684 CLBs, and 95 general-purpose I/Os, making it suitable for designs that require mid-range programmable logic and substantial external connectivity within a commercial operating environment (0 °C to 70 °C).
Key Features
- Core Logic 336 logic element cells and 684 configurable logic blocks (CLBs) delivering approximately 14,000 gates of programmable logic capacity for mid-range logic functions.
- I/O Density 95 general-purpose I/O pins support broad interfacing to external peripherals and signals without additional glue logic.
- Memory No on-chip RAM (Total RAM Bits: 0), suitable for designs that rely on external memory or do not require embedded RAM resources.
- Power Wide supply range of 3.00 V to 5.25 V, enabling compatibility with common digital power rails used in commercial electronic designs.
- Package & Mounting 144-pin BQFP / 144-PQFP (28 × 28 mm) surface-mount package for dense PCB layouts while preserving accessible pin count.
- Operating Range & Grade Commercial-grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliance for standard commercial product manufacturing.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose I/O expansion Use the A42MX09-PQ144 where designs require up to 95 programmable I/Os to aggregate, translate or route signals between subsystems.
- Glue logic and protocol bridging Implement mid-range combinational and sequential logic to interface disparate digital blocks without adding discrete logic components.
- Prototyping and evaluation Deploy in development boards and proof-of-concept hardware that need a commercial-grade FPGA with a 144-pin PQFP footprint.
Unique Advantages
- Balanced logic and I/O capacity: Approximately 14,000 gates combined with 95 I/Os provides a practical mix of compute and connectivity for mid-range designs.
- Flexible supply voltage: Operates across a 3.00 V to 5.25 V range to accommodate common system power domains and simplify integration with existing boards.
- Compact, serviceable package: 144-PQFP (28 × 28 mm) surface-mount package enables high-density PCB placement while keeping a high pin count for external connections.
- Commercial-grade specification: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and RoHS compliant for standard commercial manufacturing processes.
- Clear, verifiable datasheet lineage: Part of the MX FPGA family documentation, enabling engineers to reference family-level details where applicable.
Why Choose A42MX09-PQ144?
The A42MX09-PQ144 is positioned for designers who need a commercially-rated FPGA with a practical balance of logic fabric and I/O capacity in a compact 144-pin PQFP package. Its 336 logic elements, 684 CLBs and roughly 14,000 gates make it suitable for mid-range programmable logic tasks where embedded RAM is not required and where a broad set of external signal connections is needed.
Choose this device for commercial applications that demand a surface-mount, RoHS-compliant FPGA with flexible supply voltage support (3.00 V–5.25 V) and a standard operating temperature window (0 °C–70 °C). It is well suited to reduce discrete logic count and simplify board-level integration in cost-sensitive, commercial designs.
