Overview of A42MX16-1PQG160 – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 125 160-BQFP
The A42MX16-1PQG160 is a commercial-grade MX field programmable gate array (FPGA) packaged in a 160-BQFP footprint. It offers a balance of programmable logic capacity, I/O density and flexible power input for mid-range embedded designs and interface logic tasks.
With 24,000 gates, approximately 608 logic elements and 125 user I/O pins, this surface-mount FPGA targets applications that require moderate logic integration and a compact 160-pin package while operating across a 3 V to 5.25 V supply range and 0 °C to 70 °C ambient temperature.
Key Features
- Programmable Logic Capacity – 24,000 gates and approximately 608 logic elements provide the programmable resources needed for glue logic, protocol bridging and mid-density control functions.
- I/O Density – 125 user I/O pins support multiple peripheral interfaces and parallel connections, enabling flexible system integration on a single device.
- Memory – Total on-chip RAM bits reported as 0, suitable for designs that rely on external memory or ROM for storage needs.
- Packaging – 160-BQFP package case with supplier device package listed as 160-PQFP (28×28) provides a compact surface-mount form factor for space-constrained PCBs.
- Power – Wide nominal supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V supports common logic voltage domains and straightforward power supply design.
- Mounting & Grade – Surface mount component rated for commercial-grade operation with an ambient temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
- RoHS Compliance – Device is RoHS compliant for lead-free manufacturing processes.
Typical Applications
- Consumer Electronics – Implement user interface control, protocol translation and peripheral aggregation using the device’s I/O capacity and programmable logic.
- Communications Equipment – Perform signal conditioning and custom interface logic where a mid-range gate count and numerous I/Os are required.
- Embedded Control – Use for motor control front-ends, sensor aggregation and timing/logic control in commercial embedded systems operating within 0 °C to 70 °C.
- Prototyping and Development – Evaluate mid-density FPGA architectures and verify system-level integration in a 160-pin surface-mount package.
Unique Advantages
- Balanced Logic Capacity: 24,000 gates and ~608 logic elements offer sufficient programmable resources for many mid-range designs without excess overhead.
- High I/O Count: 125 user I/Os let you consolidate multiple interfaces and reduce external glue logic, helping simplify board layout.
- Flexible Power Support: 3 V to 5.25 V supply range enables use with a variety of common voltage domains and legacy logic levels.
- Compact Surface-Mount Packaging: 160-BQFP / 160-PQFP (28×28) options provide a space-efficient form factor for dense PCB designs.
- Commercial Temperature Rating: 0 °C to 70 °C operation aligns with general-purpose and consumer product requirements.
- RoHS Compliant: Meets lead-free assembly requirements for modern manufacturing processes.
