A42MX09-PQ160I

The A42MX09-PQ160I is a Microchip MX family field-programmable gate array (FPGA) provided in a 160-pin BQFP package. It delivers moderate logic capacity with 336 logic elements (cells), approximately 14,000 gates, and 101 general-purpose I/O pins for system integration.

Designed for industrial applications, this surface-mount device supports a wide supply voltage range (3 V to 5.5 V) and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C, offering a balanced combination of I/O density and environmental robustness for embedded control, interface bridging, and general-purpose logic tasks.

Key Features

• Core & Logic  336 logic elements (cells) and 14,000 gates provide the device’s configurable logic capacity for implementing combinational and sequential logic functions.
• I/O Count  101 I/O pins allow broad connectivity to peripherals, sensors, and external interfaces.
• Memory  Total on-chip RAM bits: 0, indicating no embedded RAM resources are provided on this device.
• Power  Wide operating supply voltage from 3 V to 5.5 V to support a variety of system power domains.
• Package & Mounting  160-BQFP package (Supplier Device Package: 160-PQFP, 28×28 mm) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB integration.
• Temperature & Grade  Industrial-grade device with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C for use in demanding environments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Custom control logic and I/O interfacing in factory automation, motor control, and PLC-style functions where industrial temperature capability is required.
• Interface Bridging  Protocol translation and glue logic between different digital subsystems using the device’s available I/O count and configurable logic.
• Embedded Logic  Implementation of application-specific state machines, timing logic, and peripheral control in compact PCB designs.
• Test and Measurement  Signal conditioning, trigger logic, and digital preprocessing where a moderate logic fabric and flexible I/O are useful.

Unique Advantages

• Moderate Logic Capacity: 336 logic elements and 14,000 gates enable implementation of nontrivial custom logic without excess complexity.
• High I/O Density: 101 I/O pins provide ample connectivity for interfacing multiple peripherals and sensors directly to the FPGA.
• Wide Supply Range: 3 V to 5.5 V operation supports integration into systems with varied power rails.
• Industrial Reliability: −40 °C to 85 °C operating range and industrial grade designation support deployment in harsher environments.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 160-BQFP (160-PQFP, 28×28) allows space-efficient PCB layouts while retaining significant pin count.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant for environmentally conscious designs.
