A42MX16-1PL84M

The A42MX16-1PL84M is an MX-series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, supplied in an 84‑lead LCC (J‑lead) package. It provides a mid-density FPGA fabric with 608 logic elements and approximately 24,000 gates, along with up to 72 user I/O pins for implementing control, glue-logic, and I/O-intensive functions.

With a wide supply range and military-grade qualification, this device is suited for designs that require robust temperature tolerance and flexible interfacing in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Logic Density — 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates provide a compact programmable fabric for control, state machines, and glue logic implementations.
• General-purpose I/O — 72 user I/Os available for signal interfacing, protocol bridging, and system-level integration.
• Memory — No embedded RAM bits on-chip (Total RAM Bits: 0), suitable for designs that offload storage or require purely logic-centric implementations.
• Power Supply Range — Operates from 3 V to 5.5 V, enabling compatibility with multiple legacy and modern system voltage domains.
• Package and Mounting — 84‑lead LCC (J‑lead) surface-mount package; supplier device package: 84‑PLCC (29.31×29.31 mm) for PCB footprint planning and mechanical integration.
• Temperature and Grade — Military grade with operating temperature from −55 °C to 125 °C, intended for high-reliability and harsh-environment use.
• Mounting Type — Surface mount for standard PCB assembly processes.

Typical Applications

• Military electronics — Implement mission-critical control logic and I/O routing where military grade temperature range and reliability are required.
• Embedded control systems — Replace discrete logic or CPLDs for compact, reprogrammable control and sequencing functions.
• Signal interfacing and protocol bridging — Use the 72 I/Os to adapt, format, or route signals between subsystems.
• Ruggedized industrial equipment — Deploy in systems that demand extended temperature operation and robust packaging.

Unique Advantages

• Military-grade temperature tolerance: Rated from −55 °C to 125 °C to support deployments in harsh or mission-critical environments.
• Flexible supply voltage: 3 V to 5.5 V operation allows integration with a variety of legacy and modern power domains without additional level translation.
• Compact, reprogrammable logic: 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates provide sufficient density for glue logic, state machines, and interface functions while enabling post-deployment updates.
• High I/O count: 72 general-purpose I/Os simplify board-level routing and reduce the need for external buffering or multiplexing.
• Established package options: 84‑lead LCC (J‑lead) and 84‑PLCC (29.31×29.31 mm) supplier package details aid mechanical design and assembly planning.
