Overview of A42MX16-1PQG160I – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 125 160-BQFP
The A42MX16-1PQG160I is a field programmable gate array (FPGA) device offering mid-density programmable logic in a 160-BQFP surface-mount package. It provides 608 logic elements (approximately 24,000 gates) and 125 user I/O while operating across a 3 V to 5.5 V supply range and an industrial temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C.
This device is targeted at designs that require configurable logic, a large number of I/O, and industrial-grade temperature capability, enabling integration of custom state machines, interface logic and I/O-rich functions in a compact package.
Key Features
- Core Logic 608 logic elements supporting a total of 24,000 gates for implementing combinational and sequential logic functions.
- I/O Capacity 125 user I/O pins to support multiple interfaces and signal connections directly from the FPGA package.
- Memory Total on-chip RAM bits: 0, suitable for designs that use external memory or rely on logic-based storage techniques.
- Power Wide supply range from 3 V to 5.5 V, allowing flexible power domain integration with common legacy and modern voltage levels.
- Package and Mounting 160-BQFP (supplier package: 160-PQFP, 28×28 mm) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB-level integration in space-constrained designs.
- Industrial Grade and Temperature Industrial grade device rated for operation from −40 °C to 85 °C for use in temperature-demanding environments.
- Compliance RoHS compliant, meeting common environmental material requirements.
Typical Applications
- Custom Logic and Glue Logic Use the 608 logic elements and 125 I/O to consolidate discrete glue logic, protocol translation, and control sequencing into a single programmable device.
- I/O-Intensive Interfaces The high I/O count supports board-level interface aggregation and signal routing for systems requiring many parallel or serial connections.
- Industrial Controls Industrial-grade temperature range and robust packaging make this FPGA suitable for control logic and monitoring tasks in industrial equipment.
Unique Advantages
- Mid-density programmable logic: 608 logic elements and ~24,000 gates provide a balance of capacity and simplicity for moderate-complexity designs, reducing the need for multiple discrete devices.
- High I/O count: 125 user I/O pins enable flexible interfacing and the ability to consolidate multiple signals and buses onto a single FPGA.
- Wide supply compatibility: 3 V to 5.5 V operation allows integration into systems with differing voltage domains without extensive level-shifting circuitry.
- Industrial temperature rating: −40 °C to 85 °C operation supports deployment in temperature-challenging environments common in industrial applications.
- Compact surface-mount package: 160-BQFP (28×28 mm supplier PQFP) combines a relatively small footprint with manufacturable surface-mount assembly.
- RoHS compliant: Meets environmental material requirements for lead-free manufacturing processes.
