A42MX09-PQG160I

The A42MX09-PQG160I is a field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for industrial-grade embedded systems. It provides a moderate logic capacity with defined I/O and gate counts in a surface-mount 160-BQFP package suitable for board-level integration.

Key on-chip attributes include 336 logic elements (approximately 14,000 gates), 101 user I/O pins, a 3.0 V to 5.5 V supply range, and operation across an industrial temperature window of –40 °C to 85 °C, offering predictable electrical and environmental characteristics for designs that require these specific parameters.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  336 logic elements and approximately 14,000 gates provide deterministic programmable logic resources for custom combinational and sequential functions.
• I/O Resources  101 general-purpose I/O pins support multiple external interfaces and signal connections on a single device.
• Memory  Total on-chip RAM bits: 0, indicating no embedded SRAM; external memory is required where runtime storage is needed.
• Voltage Supply  Supports a wide supply range from 3 V to 5.5 V to accommodate different system power domains and legacy voltages.
• Package & Mounting  Surface-mount 160-BQFP package (supplier device package: 160-PQFP, 28×28) for compact board-level placement and standard assembly processes.
• Operating Conditions  Industrial-grade operation from –40 °C to 85 °C for deployments requiring extended temperature tolerance.
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant, meeting common lead-free and material restrictions for many commercial and industrial applications.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Use the FPGA’s industrial temperature rating and 101 I/O pins for control logic, sensor interfacing, and protocol handling in factory automation equipment.
• Embedded Prototyping  Leverage the programmable logic and accessible package to validate custom logic functions and interface designs on evaluation boards or prototypes.
• Protocol Bridging  Implement custom signal translation or deterministic glue logic between legacy and modern subsystems using the available I/O and logic elements.

Unique Advantages

• Defined Logic Resource Footprint:  336 logic elements and ~14,000 gates provide clear resource budgeting for medium-complexity designs.
• Wide Supply Flexibility:  3.0 V to 5.5 V operation allows direct use with a range of system voltage rails without additional level-shifting for supply compatibility.
• Industrial Temperature Range:  Rated for –40 °C to 85 °C, enabling use in applications exposed to temperature extremes common in industrial environments.
• High I/O Count:  101 I/O pins simplify external connectivity and reduce the need for additional I/O expanders in mid-density applications.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package:  160-BQFP (160-PQFP, 28×28) supports board-space-efficient layouts and standard SMT assembly.
• Compliance-Ready:  RoHS compliance supports adherence to lead-free material requirements.
