A42MX16-2PQ160

The A42MX16-2PQ160 is an MX family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) offered in a 160-BQFP surface-mount package. It provides programmable logic capacity and a flexible I/O count for commercial electronic designs that require on-board configurable logic.

Key attributes include approximately 608 logic elements (LEs) totaling 24,000 gates, 125 I/O pins, a 3.0 V to 5.25 V supply range, and a commercial operating temperature of 0 °C to 70 °C, making it suitable for a variety of standard commercial embedded applications.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates for implementing combinational and small-scale sequential logic.
• I/O Count  125 user I/O pins to support multiple peripheral interfaces and board-level interconnects.
• Voltage Supply  Operates from 3.0 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common commercial system power rails.
• Package and Mounting  Surface-mount 160-BQFP package; supplier device package listed as 160-PQFP (28×28) for compact PCB integration.
• Operating Temperature & Grade  Commercial grade with an operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C for standard commercial environments.
• On-chip Memory  Total RAM: 0 bits (no embedded RAM), enabling use cases focused on combinational logic and external-memory architectures.
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant to support environmentally conscious manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems  Use the FPGA for glue logic, protocol bridging, and custom control functions where up to 125 I/Os and 608 logic elements meet system requirements.
• Interface and Peripheral Control  Implement custom interface logic for sensors, displays, and peripheral devices leveraging the broad I/O count.
• Prototyping and Evaluation  A compact, surface-mount FPGA option for early-stage design validation and functional prototyping in commercial projects.

Unique Advantages

• Right-sized Logic Capacity: Approximately 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates provide ample resources for moderate-complexity logic without excess cost or board space.
• Flexible I/O Count: 125 I/O pins allow integration with multiple peripherals and board-level signals, reducing additional interface components.
• Wide Supply Compatibility: 3.0 V to 5.25 V supply range supports common commercial power rails, simplifying power design choices.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 160-BQFP / 160-PQFP (28×28) packaging enables dense PCB layouts and straightforward surface-mount assembly.
• Commercial-grade Reliability: Designed for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and RoHS compliance for standard commercial product lifecycles and regulatory needs.
