A42MX09-PQG160

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.
