Overview of A42MX16-3PL84I – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 72 84-LCC (J-Lead)
The A42MX16-3PL84I is a Microchip MX family FPGA offered in an 84-lead LCC (J‑Lead) surface-mount package. It provides a moderate logic capacity with 608 logic elements and approximately 24,000 gates, alongside 72 general-purpose I/O pins for system interfacing.
Designed for industrial applications, the device supports a wide supply range from 3 V to 5.5 V and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C, enabling deployment in temperature‑sensitive and robust embedded systems.
Key Features
- Logic Capacity — 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates to implement custom logic, glue logic, and control functions.
- I/O Resources — 72 I/O pins suitable for multiple peripheral interfaces, sensor connections, and control signals.
- Memory — Total on‑chip RAM bits: 0, enabling deterministic logic designs that rely on external memory when needed.
- Power — Flexible supply voltage range from 3 V to 5.5 V to accommodate a variety of system power domains.
- Package & Mounting — 84-LCC (J‑Lead) surface-mount package (84‑PLCC, 29.31 mm × 29.31 mm) for compact board-level integration.
- Environmental & Grade — Industrial grade device rated for operation from −40 °C to 85 °C; RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Industrial Control — Industrial-grade operating range and flexible I/O make this FPGA suitable for control logic, I/O aggregation, and interface bridging in automation equipment.
- Embedded System Glue Logic — Moderate logic capacity and plentiful I/O allow consolidation of discrete logic, address decoding, and protocol adaptation on compact PCBs.
- Prototyping and Evaluation — Surface-mount 84-LCC package and accessible I/O count suit board-level prototyping where industrial temperature operation is required.
Unique Advantages
- Balanced Logic Density: 608 logic elements and ~24k gates provide a practical trade-off between capability and cost for mid-range designs.
- Generous I/O Count: 72 I/O pins simplify integration with multiple sensors, actuators, and peripheral interfaces without requiring additional I/O expanders.
- Wide Supply Voltage Range: 3 V to 5.5 V operation reduces constraints when integrating with mixed-voltage systems.
- Industrial Temperature Rating: −40 °C to 85 °C rating supports deployment in temperature‑sensitive industrial environments.
- Compact Surface-Mount Package: 84-LCC (J‑Lead) surface-mount form factor enables space-efficient board designs and automated assembly.
- Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmentally focused product builds and regulatory requirements.
