A42MX16-2PQG160

The A42MX16-2PQG160 is a field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for commercial embedded applications. It provides a moderate logic density and a substantial I/O count in a 160-pin BQFP/PQFP package, suited to designs that require configurable digital logic and flexible interfacing.

With a supply voltage range from 3 V to 5.25 V, surface-mount packaging, and RoHS compliance, this device targets commercial systems where configurable logic, a compact footprint, and standard temperature operation are primary requirements.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Provides 608 logic elements and approximately 24,000 gates to implement custom digital functions and glue logic within commercial embedded systems.
• I/O  125 user I/O pins enable multiple peripheral connections and signal interfacing options directly from the FPGA package.
• On‑Chip Memory  No embedded RAM (Total RAM Bits: 0), suitable for designs that use external memory or require LUT/logic‑only implementations.
• Power  Operates across a wide supply range of 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate different system voltage domains.
• Package & Mounting  160-BQFP package (supplier package: 160-PQFP, 28 × 28 mm) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB integration.
• Temperature & Grade  Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C, matching typical consumer and office-environment deployments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant for environmental and manufacturing compatibility with lead‑free assembly processes.

Typical Applications

• Consumer Electronics  Custom control logic and peripheral interfacing for household and personal devices where commercial temperature range and moderate logic capacity suffice.
• Communications Modules  Protocol bridging, signal conditioning, and glue logic in networked or point‑of‑sale communications hardware.
• Embedded Controllers  Control and sequencing functions in embedded products that require a balance of I/O and programmable logic resources.
• Test & Measurement Equipment  Custom digital processing and interface adaptation for lab and benchtop instruments operating in commercial environments.

Unique Advantages

• Moderate logic density: 608 logic elements and ~24,000 gates provide a compact configurable fabric for mid‑complexity designs without excessive board-level components.
• High I/O count: 125 I/O pins support multiple interfaces and external peripherals directly, reducing the need for additional I/O expanders.
• Flexible supply range: 3 V to 5.25 V operation enables compatibility with common system voltage rails.
• Standard commercial grade: Designed for systems operating between 0 °C and 70 °C, matching many consumer and office applications.
• Compact surface-mount package: 160-BQFP/160-PQFP (28 × 28 mm) offers a balance of pin count and PCB density for compact designs.
• RoHS compliant: Supports lead‑free manufacturing processes and environmental compliance requirements.
