A42MX16-1PQG208

The A42MX16-1PQG208 is an MX-series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for commercial embedded logic applications. It provides a balance of gate density, I/O capacity and a compact 208-pin PQFP/BFQFP package for board-level integration.

With 24,000 gates and 608 logic element cells, this device targets designs that require customizable digital logic and flexible interfacing while operating across a wide supply voltage range and a standard commercial temperature window.

Key Features

• Core / Logic 24,000 gates and 608 logic element cells provide programmable logic resources for custom digital functions and control logic.
• I/O and Package 140 general-purpose I/O pins in a 208-pin package case (208-BFQFP) — supplier device package listed as 208-PQFP (28×28) — for dense board-level connectivity.
• Memory No on-chip RAM (Total RAM bits: 0), enabling designs that rely on external memory or are optimized for logic and I/O-centric tasks.
• Power Operates across a broad supply voltage range from 3 V to 5.25 V, providing flexibility with common power rails in commercial systems.
• Temperature & Grade Commercial grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C suitable for typical commercial and consumer environments.
• Mounting & Compliance Surface-mount package for standard assembly processes and RoHS-compliant materials for regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement custom control and processing logic where a commercial-grade FPGA is appropriate for consumer or enterprise products.
• Interface and I/O Bridging — Use the 140 I/O pins to implement protocol bridging, GPIO expansion, or board-level interface consolidation.
• Prototyping and Development — Rapidly prototype custom digital functions and validate logic architectures using the device’s programmable resources.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Gate Count: 24,000 gates deliver measurable programmable logic capacity for a wide range of logic-intensive tasks.
• High I/O Density: 140 I/O pins support extensive external device interfacing without requiring additional I/O expander components.
• Flexible Power Compatibility: 3 V to 5.25 V supply range allows integration with common commercial power rails.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package: 208-pin PQFP/BFQFP package enables a compact PCB footprint while supporting through-board assembly processes.
• Commercial Temperature Rating: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation, matching the needs of consumer and general-purpose commercial electronics.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for material compliance in regulated supply chains.
