A42MX16-2PQG208

The A42MX16-2PQG208 is an MX family FPGA from Microchip Technology in a 208‑BFQFP surface-mount package. The device provides 608 logic elements (approximately 24,000 gates) and 140 general-purpose I/O pins, targeting low- to mid-complexity programmable logic and interface tasks.

Designed for commercial applications, the device operates from a 3 V to 5.25 V supply and across an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C. The package and pin count make it suitable for compact board layouts where a moderate number of I/Os and logic resources are required. The device is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Core Logic 608 logic elements and approximately 24,000 gates provide the programmable fabric for implementing custom logic, glue logic, and control functions.
• I/O Density 140 I/O pins support a wide range of external interfaces and parallel connections in a single device footprint.
• Package & Mounting 208‑BFQFP (208‑PQFP, 28×28) package, surface-mount mounting type, suited for compact PCB designs requiring a high pin count.
• Power Flexible supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common system power rails.
• Environmental & Grade Commercial grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliance.
• Memory Total on-chip RAM bits: 0 (no dedicated on-chip RAM reported in specifications).

Typical Applications

• Interface and I/O Expansion — Use the 140 I/O pins to implement protocol bridging, parallel interfaces, and custom I/O timing between system components.
• Control and Glue Logic — Implement device orchestration, state machines, and board-level glue logic within 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates.
• Custom Peripherals — Create application‑specific peripherals or simple accelerators that require moderate logic density and a high I/O count.
• Compact System Designs — The 208‑BFQFP package supports dense PCB layouts where a moderate programmable logic resource is needed in a surface-mount form factor.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Gate Count: 608 logic elements and ~24,000 gates offer a predictable resource profile for medium-complexity designs without overspecifying device capability.
• High I/O Count in a Compact Package: 140 I/O pins in a 208‑BFQFP package simplify board-level connectivity while keeping a relatively small package footprint.
• Flexible Power Support: 3 V to 5.25 V supply range allows integration with common legacy and modern logic power rails.
• Commercial Temperature Rating: 0 °C to 70 °C grade is matched to typical commercial electronics environments and applications.
• RoHS Compliance: Built to meet RoHS requirements for environmental and regulatory considerations.
