A42MX16-2PQG100

The A42MX16-2PQG100 is a Microchip Technology MX family field programmable gate array (FPGA) offered in a 100-BQFP surface-mount package. It provides a modest logic capacity with 608 logic elements (24,000 gates) and 83 I/O pins, targeted for commercial-grade embedded designs requiring a compact programmable logic device.

Designed for flexible supply environments, the device operates from 3 V to 5.25 V and across a commercial temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C, and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates provide the capability to implement combinational and sequential logic functions for modest-density designs.
• I/O Count — 83 general-purpose I/O pins suitable for interfacing multiple peripherals, sensors, and control signals.
• On-chip Memory — Total on-chip RAM: 0 bits, suitable for applications that rely on external memory or do not require embedded RAM.
• Supply Voltage Range — Operates from 3 V to 5.25 V, enabling compatibility with a range of common logic and I/O voltage domains.
• Package and Mounting — Available in a 100-BQFP package (supplier device package: 100-PQFP, 20 × 14) designed for surface-mount assembly.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation, suitable for standard commercial environments.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant for lead-free assembly and regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control — Implement control logic and glue functions in embedded systems using the device’s logic elements and 83 I/Os for sensor and actuator interfaces.
• Peripheral Interfacing — Consolidate multiple peripheral interfaces and signal translation tasks within a single FPGA package to reduce PCB complexity.
• Prototyping and Evaluation — Use the FPGA’s programmable logic and accessible I/O count for proof-of-concept designs and hardware validation in commercial product development.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, surface-mount package — The 100-BQFP (100-PQFP, 20 × 14) footprint supports automated assembly and a small PCB area for space-constrained designs.
• Clear logic sizing — 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates give predictable capacity for mapping modest logic functions and state machines.
• Generous I/O availability — 83 I/Os allow integration of multiple external devices without immediate need for I/O expanders.
• Flexible supply range — 3 V to 5.25 V operation helps integrate the FPGA into systems with varied voltage domains.
• Commercial-grade suitability — Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation for standard commercial applications and environments.
• RoHS compliant — Supports lead-free manufacturing processes and regulatory compliance requirements.
