The A42MX16-2PQG208I is an MX-series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology designed for industrial applications. It delivers a programmable logic resource with 608 logic elements and a gate count of 24,000, packaged in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount footprint.

With 140 general-purpose I/O pins, a wide supply range of 3 V to 5.5 V, and an industrial operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C, this device targets designs that require flexible logic integration and robust operation in industrial environments.

Key Features

• Programmable Logic Capacity – Provides 608 logic elements and an overall gate count of 24,000 to implement custom logic functions and moderate-complexity digital designs.
• I/O Density – 140 I/O pins support a variety of external interfaces and peripheral connectivity for control, signal routing, and glue-logic tasks.
• Supply Voltage Flexibility – Operates from 3 V to 5.5 V, accommodating a range of system power rails and legacy signaling levels.
• Industrial Temperature Range – Rated for operation from −40 °C to 85 °C for use in temperature-demanding industrial applications.
• Package and Mounting – Available in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) for PCB assembly compatibility in space-constrained layouts.
• Regulatory Compliance – RoHS compliant, supporting environmental and materials requirements for modern electronics manufacturing.
• On-chip Memory – No on-chip RAM (Total RAM Bits: 0), allowing designers to plan external memory integration when required.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control – Use the FPGA’s 140 I/Os and industrial temperature rating for implementing control logic, I/O conditioning, and interface bridging in factory automation equipment.
• Embedded Logic and Glue-Logic – Implement custom combinational and sequential logic to integrate disparate peripherals or to offload tasks from microcontrollers in embedded systems.
• Prototyping and Development – Suitable for proof-of-concept and mid-scale prototypes that require reprogrammable logic density and flexible I/O mapping.

Unique Advantages

• Right-sized Logic Capacity: 608 logic elements with 24,000 gates provide measurable programmable capacity for moderate-complexity designs without excess device overhead.
• High I/O Count: 140 I/Os simplify external connectivity and reduce the need for additional buffer or expander components.
• Wide Supply Compatibility: 3 V to 5.5 V operation enables straightforward integration into systems with varying power rails and legacy voltage levels.
• Industrial Reliability: −40 °C to 85 °C operating range and RoHS compliance make the device suitable for industrial deployments and standard manufacturing practices.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package: 208-BFQFP (208-PQFP, 28×28) delivers a high-pin-count solution in a footprint compatible with automated PCB assembly.
