Overview of A42MX16-2PQG160I – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC, 125 I/O, 160‑BQFP
The A42MX16-2PQG160I is an industrial-grade MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) offered in a 160‑lead BQFP package. It provides a mid-range logic capacity with discrete logic cells and CLBs, a broad supply voltage range, and a surface-mount 160‑pin package suited for space-constrained board designs.
Designed for applications that require moderate programmable logic, a substantial I/O count, and operation across industrial temperature limits, this FPGA balances integration and robustness for embedded and control-oriented designs.
Key Features
- Logic Capacity Approximately 608 logic element cells, 1,232 CLBs and 24,000 gates to support moderate-complexity custom logic implementations.
- I/O Count 125 general-purpose I/O pins for flexible interfacing with peripherals, sensors and external devices.
- Memory Total on-chip RAM: 0 bits (no embedded RAM).
- Voltage Supply Wide operating supply range from 3 V to 5.5 V to accommodate different system power rails.
- Package & Mounting 160‑lead BQFP (supplier package: 160‑PQFP, 28 × 28 mm) configured for surface-mount assembly.
- Temperature & Grade Industrial-grade device rated for operation from −40 °C to 85 °C.
- Compliance RoHS‑compliant for environmental and manufacturing process alignment.
Unique Advantages
- Balanced logic density: The combination of ~608 logic element cells, 1,232 CLBs and 24,000 gates enables implementation of moderate-complexity custom logic without overspecifying device capacity.
- High I/O flexibility: 125 I/Os provide extensive interfacing options to support multiple external peripherals and mixed-signal front ends.
- Wide supply compatibility: The 3 V to 5.5 V supply range simplifies integration into systems using common industrial power rails.
- Industrial operating range: Rated for −40 °C to 85 °C, suitable for deployments that require extended temperature tolerance.
- Compact surface-mount package: 160‑lead BQFP (28 × 28 mm supplier package) supports PCB designs with limited board area while keeping routing access for many I/Os.
- Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance supports modern manufacturing and assembly requirements.
