A42MX09-PQG100A

The A42MX09-PQG100A is a field programmable gate array (FPGA) offered by Microchip Technology, delivered in a 100-BQFP surface-mount package. It provides a compact programmable logic resource with 83 user I/Os and an architecture sized for small to mid-scale logic integration.

Designed and qualified for automotive environments (AEC-Q100), this device targets applications that require reliable operation across a wide temperature range and flexible I/O and logic resources for control, interface, and integration tasks.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Approximately 14,000 gates and 336 logic elements (cells) provide programmable combinational and sequential logic capacity for glue logic, interface translation, and custom control functions.
• I/O Resources  83 user I/O pins support a variety of external interfaces and signal connections in a compact footprint.
• Package & Mounting  100-BQFP package (supplier device package listed as 100-PQFP 20×14) in a surface-mount form factor simplifies PCB assembly and placement in space-constrained designs.
• Power  Wide supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V enables compatibility with common automotive and embedded system voltage domains.
• Temperature & Qualification  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 125 °C and qualified to AEC‑Q100, supporting deployment in temperature-extreme automotive applications.
• Regulatory Compliance  RoHS compliant for use in assemblies that require lead-free and restricted-substance conformance.

Typical Applications

• Automotive control modules  AEC‑Q100 qualification and an operating range of −40 °C to 125 °C make the device suitable for in-vehicle control logic and interface functions that require reliable operation across harsh temperatures.
• Embedded I/O expansion and interface bridging  With 83 I/O and programmable logic resources, the FPGA can implement protocol translation, signal conditioning, and custom interface logic to adapt peripherals and sensors.
• Prototyping and system integration  The device’s gate and logic-element count allow designers to prototype small to mid-scale custom logic blocks and validate system-level integration in a compact BQFP package.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-qualified robustness: AEC‑Q100 qualification combined with a −40 °C to 125 °C operating range supports long-term use in vehicle electronics and other temperature-demanding environments.
• Flexible I/O count: Eighty-three user I/O pins enable integration of multiple sensors, actuators, and peripheral interfaces without adding external glue logic.
• Compact surface-mount package: 100-BQFP surface-mount footprint facilitates dense PCB layouts and automated assembly in space-constrained products.
• Wide supply compatibility: 3 V to 5.25 V supply range allows operation across common automotive and embedded power rails, simplifying power domain design.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports deployment in lead‑free manufacturing environments and assemblies.
