A42MX16-1PQ208

The A42MX16-1PQ208 is a commercial-grade Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) offered by Microchip Technology. It provides programmable logic resources and flexible I/O in a 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package, making it suitable for commercial electronic designs that require moderate logic capacity and a high pin count.

With a core comprised of 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates, the device targets applications that need configurable digital logic, broad I/O connectivity and straightforward voltage compatibility across typical commercial supply ranges.

Key Features

• Programmable Logic Core  608 logic elements and 24,000 gates provide the configurable logic capacity for implementing custom combinational and sequential logic functions.
• I/O Density  140 available I/O pins support interfacing to numerous peripherals, sensors and external devices in a single package.
• Memory  Total RAM Bits: 0 — the device does not include on-chip RAM and is optimized for designs using external memory or logic-only implementations.
• Power and Voltage  Supports a wide supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V for compatibility with common commercial-power domains.
• Package and Mounting  Surface-mount 208-BFQFP package; supplier device package listed as 208-PQFP (28×28) for PCB footprint and assembly planning.
• Operating Conditions  Commercial grade operation with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant for reduced hazardous substances in manufacturing and product lifecycle.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems  Implement custom control logic and glue logic in commercial electronics where moderate programmable capacity and extensive I/O are required.
• Prototyping and Development  Use on development boards and proof-of-concept designs to validate digital logic and I/O integration before final system selection.
• I/O Expansion and Bridging  Serve as a programmable interface hub to aggregate, translate or buffer signals between multiple peripherals and processors.
• User Interface Control  Manage button scanning, LED driving and peripheral control logic within commercial consumer or equipment panels.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Capacity: 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates provide a clear midpoint capability for designs that need more than basic CPLDs but do not require large, high-density FPGAs.
• High I/O Count: 140 I/O pins reduce the need for external multiplexers or expanders when interfacing to multiple peripherals.
• Flexible Voltage Support: 3 V to 5.25 V supply range allows straightforward integration with common commercial power rails.
• Surface-Mount Packaging: 208-BFQFP surface-mount package simplifies automated assembly and supports compact PCB layouts.
• Commercial Temperature Rating: Specified 0 °C to 70 °C operation matches typical commercial product environmental requirements.
• RoHS Compliance: Environmentally compliant for modern electronics manufacturing and regulatory expectations.
