The A42MX09-PQG160M is a field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for military-grade embedded applications. It provides a balanced logic capacity and I/O count in a 160‑pin BQFP surface-mount package for systems that demand wide operating temperature and flexible supply options.

With support for a 3 V to 5.5 V supply range, 101 I/O pins, and operation from −55 °C to 125 °C, this device targets high-reliability designs that require configurable logic, robust I/O, and a compact package footprint.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 336 logic elements and approximately 14,000 gates provide configurable digital logic capacity for custom glue logic, state machines, and signal processing tasks.
• I/O and Package — 101 programmable I/O pins in a 160‑pin BQFP (160‑PQFP, 28×28) surface-mount package support dense connector and board-level integration.
• Power — Operates across a wide supply range of 3 V to 5.5 V to accommodate various board power architectures and legacy interfaces.
• Temperature and Grade — Military grade with an operating temperature range of −55 °C to 125 °C for reliable operation in extreme environments.
• Mounting and Compliance — Surface-mount package suitable for standard assembly processes; RoHS compliant to meet environmental directives.

Typical Applications

• Military Systems — Deploy configurable logic in mission-focused electronics where military-grade temperature range and robustness are required.
• High‑reliability Embedded Control — Implement custom control, sequencing, and interface logic for embedded platforms that need stable operation across wide temperatures.
• I/O‑Dense Interface Logic — Handle multiple parallel or serial interfaces and board-level routing using the device’s 101 I/O pins in a compact package.
