A42MX16-2PQ100

The A42MX16-2PQ100 is an MX family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology delivering moderate-density programmable logic in a compact surface-mount package. It provides a mixture of logic capacity, I/O density and flexible power input suitable for commercial embedded designs.

Targeted at commercial-grade applications, the device offers 608 logic elements (approximately 24,000 gates) and 83 general-purpose I/Os, combined with a 3.0 V to 5.25 V supply range and a 100-pin BQFP surface-mount package for space-constrained boards.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity 608 logic elements and approximately 24,000 gates provide moderate programmable logic resources for glue logic, protocol bridging, and control tasks.
• I/O Density 83 user I/Os support a broad set of external interfaces and peripherals without extensive external buffering.
• Package and Mounting Available in a 100-BQFP package (supplier device package: 100-PQFP, 20×14) in a surface-mount format for PCB assembly and compact board layouts.
• Power Flexibility Operates from 3.0 V to 5.25 V supply rails, enabling integration with a variety of legacy and modern logic voltage domains.
• Operational Grade Commercial-grade device specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation, suitable for standard commercial environment deployments.
• Regulatory Compliance RoHS compliant to support lead-free manufacturing and regulatory requirements for commercial electronics.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and gate count: 608 logic elements and ~24,000 gates provide a practical balance between capability and cost for mid-range programmable tasks.
• High I/O availability: 83 I/Os reduce the need for external I/O expanders in many control and interface applications.
• Wide supply tolerance: 3.0 V to 5.25 V operation simplifies integration with mixed-voltage systems and legacy peripherals.
• Compact surface-mount package: 100-BQFP footprint supports compact PCB designs while keeping component count low.
• Commercial temperature rating: Specified 0 °C to 70 °C operation aligns with typical commercial product deployment environments.
• RoHS compliance: Facilitates lead-free assembly and environmental compliance in commercial manufacturing.
