Overview of A42MX09-PQG160 – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 101 160-BQFP
The A42MX09-PQG160 is a Microchip Technology MX family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 160‑lead BQFP package. It provides reconfigurable logic capacity and a sizeable I/O complement for commercial embedded logic designs.
With 336 logic elements (approximately 14,000 gates) and 101 I/O pins, this surface-mount FPGA targets commercial applications that require moderate logic density, flexible I/O routing and a compact 28 × 28 mm package footprint.
Key Features
- Logic Capacity — 336 logic elements and approximately 14,000 gates provide a balanced resource set for mid‑complexity digital functions and glue logic.
- I/O Resources — 101 general-purpose I/O pins support multiple interfaces and peripheral connectivity on a single device.
- Power Supply Range — Operates from 3 V to 5.25 V, allowing flexibility with common commercial power rails.
- Package and Mounting — 160‑BQFP surface-mount package (supplier device package: 160‑PQFP, 28×28 mm) enables compact PCB integration.
- Operating Range — Commercial temperature rating from 0 °C to 70 °C suitable for standard commercial environments.
- Compliance — RoHS‑compliant for environmental and regulatory alignment in commercial product builds.
- Manufacturer — Produced by Microchip Technology, offering established supply and documentation channels.
Typical Applications
- Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement custom control logic, timing, and glue functions in small-to-medium commercial products.
- Interface Bridging and Protocol Translation — Use the abundant I/O to connect diverse peripherals and manage interface conversions on a single device.
- Prototyping and Development — Rapidly iterate mid‑complexity digital designs where reprogrammability and compact packaging speed development cycles.
- Consumer Electronics — Perform user interface control, peripheral management, and custom logic tasks within commercially graded devices.
Unique Advantages
- Balanced Logic Density: 336 logic elements and ~14,000 gates give designers predictable resources for mid‑range digital functions without overprovisioning.
- High I/O Count: 101 I/O pins allow consolidation of multiple interfaces and peripherals, reducing board-level glue components.
- Flexible Power Options: 3 V to 5.25 V supply range supports compatibility with common commercial power domains.
- Compact Surface-Mount Package: 160‑lead BQFP (28×28 mm) simplifies PCB layout for space-constrained designs while maintaining accessibility to I/O.
- Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance: Designed for standard commercial environments and compliant with RoHS requirements for environmental conformity.
- Vendor Reliability: Backed by Microchip Technology manufacturing and documentation for predictable sourcing and integration.
