A42MX09-PQ160

The A42MX09-PQ160 is a Microchip Technology MX family field programmable gate array (FPGA) offered in a 160-BQFP surface-mount package. It provides 336 logic elements (approximately 14,000 gates) and 101 user I/O pins to implement custom digital logic functions in commercial-grade designs.

Designed for systems operating from 3 V to 5.25 V and within a 0 °C to 70 °C operating range, this device suits compact, general-purpose FPGA use where a moderate number of logic elements and flexible I/O are required. The device is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Core Logic 336 logic elements and 14,000 gates provide resources for implementing combinational and sequential logic blocks.
• I/O Density 101 user I/O pins support a range of peripheral interfacing and signal routing on a single device.
• Memory Total on-chip RAM bits: 0 (as specified), enabling designs that rely on external memory or register-based logic.
• Power Supply Operates across a 3 V to 5.25 V supply range for compatibility with common digital power rails.
• Package and Mounting 160-BQFP (supplier package: 160-PQFP, 28 × 28 mm) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB implementations.
• Temperature and Grade Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 70 °C for typical commercial and consumer applications.
• Compliance RoHS compliant to support regulatory requirements for lead-free manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• Control and Interface Logic Implement glue logic, I/O expansion and protocol bridging using the device’s 101 I/O pins and available logic elements.
• Prototyping and Small FPGA Designs Suitable for development and evaluation of compact FPGA-based functions that fit within 336 logic elements and 14,000 gates.
• Commercial Electronic Products Integration into commercial-grade equipment operating within 0 °C to 70 °C and standard 3 V–5.25 V supply environments.
• Peripheral and Board-Level Control Implement custom peripheral controllers, timing logic, and simple state machines for embedded boards and modules.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Capacity: 336 logic elements and 14,000 gates provide a pragmatic balance between capability and footprint for many small-to-moderate FPGA tasks.
• High I/O Count: 101 I/O pins allow direct interfacing to multiple peripherals and sensors without extensive external glue logic.
• Flexible Voltage Support: A 3 V to 5.25 V supply range enables compatibility with common digital power domains across commercial systems.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: The 160-BQFP (28 × 28 mm) package supports high-density PCB layouts while remaining easy to source and assembly-friendly.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to lead-free manufacturing requirements to support modern production processes.
• Commercial Grade: Specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation to match typical commercial and consumer product environments.
