A42MX16-1PQ160

The A42MX16-1PQ160 is a commercial-grade Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) offered in a 160-pin BQFP package. It delivers moderate logic capacity and a high count of external I/O in a surface-mount 28 × 28 PQFP footprint, supporting single-supply operation across a 3 V to 5.25 V range and commercial temperature operation.

This device is suited for designs that require flexible hardware logic, substantial I/O connectivity, and straightforward board-level integration within standard commercial environments.

Key Features

• Core Logic Provides 608 logic elements and approximately 24,000 gates for implementing custom logic and glue functionality.
• I/O Offers 125 external I/O pins to support extensive peripheral interfacing and signal routing.
• Memory No embedded RAM bits are provided on-chip (0 total RAM bits), suitable for designs that use external memory or require minimal internal storage.
• Power Operates from a single supply ranging from 3 V to 5.25 V, allowing compatibility with common digital voltage domains.
• Package & Mounting Supplied in a 160-BQFP package (supplier device package: 160-PQFP, 28×28 mm) and specified for surface-mount assembly.
• Temperature & Grade Commercial temperature rating of 0°C to 70°C; designed for standard commercial applications.
• Compliance RoHS compliant for lead-free manufacturing and regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• Prototyping & Development — Use the FPGA to evaluate hardware logic designs and validate I/O-intensive prototypes in commercial lab environments.
• I/O Aggregation & Glue Logic — Implement interface bridging, protocol adaptation, and signal routing where a high count of general-purpose I/O is required.
• Commercial Electronics Control — Implement custom control and interface tasks in consumer and commercial products operating within the specified voltage and temperature ranges.
• Education & Training — Suitable for teaching digital design concepts and hands-on FPGA labs that require a compact, surface-mount part with ample I/O.

Unique Advantages

• Moderate logic capacity: 608 logic elements and ~24,000 gates provide a balance between resource availability and board-level cost for mid-complexity designs.
• High I/O count: 125 I/O pins simplify external interfacing and reduce the need for additional I/O expanders.
• Flexible supply range: 3 V to 5.25 V operation enables integration with a variety of common digital power domains.
• Compact BQFP footprint: 160-pin, 28 × 28 mm PQFP simplifies placement in space-constrained commercial designs while remaining surface-mount friendly.
• Commercial-grade specification: Rated for 0°C to 70°C operation to match typical commercial deployment requirements.
• RoHS compliant: Supports lead-free manufacturing and regulatory needs for modern assembly processes.
