Overview of A42MX16-2PLG84 – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 72 84-LCC (J-Lead)
The A42MX16-2PLG84 is an MX family field programmable gate array (FPGA) offered in an 84-pin LCC (J-Lead) surface-mount package. It provides programmable logic resources and a substantial I/O count for commercial embedded applications requiring flexible digital integration.
With 608 logic elements, approximately 24,000 gates and 72 general-purpose I/Os, this device targets commercial designs that need configurable logic, board-level I/O expansion and compact package options while operating across a 3.0 V to 5.25 V supply range.
Key Features
- Core Logic — 608 logic elements and a gate equivalent of 24,000 provide the programmable resources for combinational and sequential logic implementation.
- I/O — 72 general-purpose I/Os support a variety of external interfaces and board-level connectivity needs.
- On-chip Memory — No on-chip RAM (total RAM bits = 0); designs can use external memory or off-chip resources as required.
- Power — Operates from a 3.0 V to 5.25 V supply range to accommodate common commercial supply rails.
- Package & Mounting — Supplied in an 84-LCC (J-Lead) surface-mount package (84-PLCC, 29.31 × 29.31 mm) for compact PCB integration.
- Grade & Temperature — Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C suitable for standard consumer and commercial electronic environments.
- Compliance — RoHS compliant for regulatory and environmental compatibility.
Typical Applications
- Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement custom logic functions and control paths in consumer and industrial-facing commercial products.
- Interface and Glue Logic — Bridge peripherals, perform signal conditioning and consolidate discrete logic functions on a single programmable device.
- Prototyping and Development — Validate digital architectures and iterate logic designs where reprogrammable logic and moderate I/O counts are required.
- Control and User Interface — Manage control signals, process inputs, and drive interface lines in small-to-medium complexity consumer devices.
Unique Advantages
- Balanced Logic Capacity: 608 logic elements and about 24,000 gates offer a middle-ground resource set for many commercial designs without excessive footprint.
- High I/O Count: Seventy-two I/Os enable direct connection to multiple peripherals and interfaces, reducing the need for external multiplexers or GPIO expanders.
- Flexible Power Range: 3.0 V to 5.25 V operation simplifies integration with common supply rails in commercial systems.
- Compact Surface-Mount Package: The 84-LCC (J-Lead) surface-mount package provides a space-efficient option for PCB layouts measuring 29.31 × 29.31 mm package footprint.
- Commercial Temperature Suitability: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C, aligning with typical consumer and commercial operating environments.
- RoHS Compliance: Environmentally compliant design supports regulatory requirements for many global markets.
