A42MX16-1PQ100M

The A42MX16-1PQ100M from Microchip Technology is an MX-family field programmable gate array (FPGA) provided in a 100-pin BQFP surface-mount package. It delivers configurable digital logic resources including 24,000 gates, 608 logic elements and 83 user I/O pins for implementing custom logic, interface bridging and control functions.

Designed as a military-grade device, this FPGA supports a wide operating temperature range of -55 °C to 125 °C and a supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V. The device is RoHS compliant and intended for applications requiring robust environmental performance and board-level integration.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Approximately 24,000 gates and 608 logic elements provide configurable resources for implementing state machines, glue logic and custom digital functions.
• I/O Capacity  83 user I/O pins support multiple external interfaces and on-board peripheral connections.
• On-Chip Memory  Total on-chip RAM bits: 0 — this device does not include embedded RAM; external memory is required for designs that need data storage.
• Voltage Supply  Wide supply range from 3 V to 5.5 V to accommodate common system voltage rails.
• Package & Mounting  100-BQFP package case with surface-mount mounting; supplier device package listed as 100-PQFP (20×14).
• Temperature & Grade  Military grade with operating temperature from -55 °C to 125 °C for high-reliability environments.
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant for environmental and manufacturing considerations.

Typical Applications

• Military and Defense Equipment  Board-level custom logic and interface functions where military-grade components and extended temperature operation are required.
• Industrial Control  Control logic, I/O consolidation and protocol bridging in systems that benefit from robust temperature and voltage tolerances.
• Communications and Interface Modules  Custom protocol handling and interface adaptation using the device’s I/O and logic resources.
• Hardware Prototyping and Glue Logic  Implement glue logic, custom finite-state machines and prototype digital functions on a compact surface-mount package.

Unique Advantages

• Military-grade reliability: Rated for -55 °C to 125 °C operation to support demanding thermal environments.
• Versatile supply range: 3 V to 5.5 V tolerance enables integration with a variety of system voltage rails.
