A42MX16-1PLG84I

The A42MX16-1PLG84I is an MX family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology. It provides a compact, surface-mount logic solution with 608 logic elements and approximately 24,000 gates, intended for embedded and industrial applications that require flexible digital logic and multiple I/O.

With 72 user I/O pins, a wide supply range of 3 V to 5.5 V and an industrial operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C, the device is suited for designs that need robust operation across common industrial temperature and voltage environments.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Approximately 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates provide a compact programmable logic resource for custom digital functions.
• I/O Capacity  72 general-purpose I/O pins support a variety of external interfaces and signal aggregation in a single device.
• Memory  No on-chip RAM (Total RAM bits: 0), enabling predictable logic-only implementations or external memory interfacing as required by the design.
• Power Range  Operates from 3 V to 5.5 V supply, allowing compatibility with common 3.3 V and 5 V system rails.
• Package & Mounting  84-LCC (J-Lead) package; supplier device package listed as 84-PLCC (29.31 × 29.31 mm). Surface-mount mounting type supports compact board-level integration.
• Industrial Temperature Grade  Rated for -40 °C to 85 °C operation, suitable for industrial environments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant for environmentally conscious manufacturing and regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Suitable for control logic, I/O aggregation and protocol adaptation in industrial equipment thanks to its industrial temperature rating and flexible I/O count.
• Embedded Systems  Provides customizable logic for embedded applications requiring modest logic density and up to 72 I/O lines on a single chip.
• Interface and Glue Logic  Ideal for implementing interface adaptation, bus bridging or custom glue logic between subsystems operating at 3 V–5.5 V.

Unique Advantages

• Flexible I/O Support: 72 user I/O pins consolidate multiple signals and interfaces, reducing external components and board complexity.
• Wide Supply Compatibility: 3 V to 5.5 V operation enables use in systems with either 3.3 V or 5 V logic domains without additional level-shifting in many cases.
• Industrial Reliability: Rated for -40 °C to 85 °C operation, providing reliable performance across standard industrial temperature ranges.
• Compact PCB Integration: Surface-mount 84-LCC (J-Lead) package with a PLCC form-factor option supports dense board layouts and existing PLCC footprint compatibility considerations.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance simplifies integration into environmentally regulated product lines.
