A42MX16-2PQ208I

The A42MX16-2PQ208I is an MX family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology supplied in a 208‑pin BFQFP package. It provides a moderate logic density and a wide I/O count in an industrial‑grade, surface‑mount package targeted at embedded designs that require flexible I/O and programmable logic.

With a supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C, this device is suited for industrial applications where temperature tolerance and flexible power rails are important design considerations.

Key Features

• Core Logic – 608 logic elements delivering approximately 24,000 gates for implementing custom combinational and sequential logic functions.
• I/O Capacity – 140 I/O pins to support a broad mix of peripheral interfaces, sensor connections and control signals.
• Memory – Total on‑chip RAM: 0 bits (no embedded RAM).
• Power – Flexible voltage supply from 3 V to 5.5 V to accommodate different system power architectures.
• Package & Mounting – 208‑BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208‑PQFP 28×28) in a surface‑mount form factor for board‑level integration.
• Temperature & Grade – Industrial grade with an operating range of −40 °C to 85 °C for deployment in temperature‑sensitive environments.
• Compliance – RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control – Leverage the industrial temperature rating and 140 I/O pins for sensor aggregation, actuator control and programmable I/O in factory automation and machine control systems.
• Embedded System Glue Logic – Use the device’s programmable logic resources and wide I/O count to implement interface bridging, bus adaptation and custom peripheral controllers.
• Prototyping and Evaluation – The 208‑pin BFQFP package and surface‑mount mounting make the FPGA suitable for board‑level prototyping where visibility to numerous signals is required.

Unique Advantages

• Moderate Logic Density: 608 logic elements and approximately 24,000 gates provide capacity for medium‑complexity logic implementations without over‑provisioning.
• High I/O Count: 140 I/O pins simplify direct interfacing to multiple peripherals and sensors, reducing the need for external multiplexing or I/O expanders.
• Wide Supply Range: 3 V to 5.5 V operation enables use across different system power domains and simplifies integration with legacy 5 V systems or modern 3.3 V logic.
• Industrial Temperature Rating: −40 °C to 85 °C operation supports deployment in demanding environments where extended temperature tolerance is required.
• Standard SMT Package: 208‑BFQFP surface‑mount package allows straightforward PCB assembly and is compatible with common manufacturing processes.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance facilitates use in product lines that require lead‑free assembly.
