A42MX16-2PL84

The A42MX16-2PL84 is a commercial-grade MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, delivered in an 84-pin LCC (J-lead) surface-mount package. It offers programmable logic resources and general-purpose I/O for embedded and commercial electronic designs that operate within a 0 °C to 70 °C temperature range and a 3 V to 5.25 V supply window.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 608 logic element cells and approximately 24,000 gates provide a moderate level of programmable logic for custom control, glue logic, and peripheral sequencing tasks.
• Logic Architecture — 1232 LABs/CLBs reported in device data emphasize the device's partitioned logic resources for flexible implementation of combinational and sequential functions.
• General-Purpose I/O — 72 user I/O pins support a variety of external interfaces and signal routing needs in compact systems.
• Memory — On-chip RAM: 0 bits; the device has no embedded RAM reported in the product data.
• Power Supply Range — Operates from 3 V to 5.25 V, accommodating a range of common commercial power domains.
• Package & Mounting — 84-LCC (J-Lead) package with supplier device package 84-PLCC (29.31 × 29.31 mm); surface-mount mounting type for PCB assembly.
• Operating Conditions — Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant for regulatory and manufacturing alignment.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Use the FPGA for custom control logic, peripheral interfacing, and protocol adaptation in consumer and commercial devices within the specified temperature and voltage ranges.
• Prototyping and Evaluation — Suitable for development boards and proof-of-concept designs that require reconfigurable logic and up to 72 I/O connections.
• Glue Logic and Interface Bridging — Implement custom glue logic, signal conditioning, or protocol translation between components with available gate and I/O resources.
• Control and Sequencing — Ideal for implementing finite-state machines, timing control, and peripheral sequencing in commercial applications.

Unique Advantages

• Moderate Logic Density: 608 logic elements and about 24,000 gates enable implementation of multi-function control and interface tasks without excessive device overhead.
• Flexible I/O Count: 72 general-purpose I/O pins give designers room to connect multiple peripherals and external devices directly to the FPGA.
• Wide Supply Compatibility: 3 V to 5.25 V operating range supports integration with common commercial power rails.
• Compact PLCC Package: 84-PLCC (29.31 × 29.31 mm) surface-mount package balances footprint and pin count for PCB-constrained designs.
• Commercial Temperature Qualification: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation to match typical commercial electronic product environments.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets lead-free manufacturing requirements for modern electronics production.
