A42MX16-3PQ100

The A42MX16-3PQ100 is an MX family field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for commercial embedded logic applications. It provides a mid-density programmable fabric suited to integrate discrete logic, custom peripherals and I/O control into a single surface-mount device.

With a balance of logic capacity, I/O count and a compact 100-pin package, this device targets designers who need a reconfigurable solution for glue logic, protocol bridging, and control and interface tasks in commercial systems.

Key Features

• Core Logic 608 logic element cells supporting approximately 24,000 gates for mid-density programmable logic implementations.
• I/O Count 83 general-purpose I/O pins to connect peripherals, sensors and external interfaces directly to the FPGA fabric.
• Package & Mounting 100-BQFP surface-mount package; supplier device package listed as 100-PQFP (20×14) for compact PCB integration.
• Power Supply Wide operating supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common commercial power rails.
• Operating Temperature Commercial temperature rating from 0 °C to 70 °C suitable for typical indoor and controlled-environment electronics.
• Compliance RoHS compliant to meet standard environmental requirements for electronics manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• Peripheral and Interface Control Implement custom bus bridges, protocol translators and I/O aggregation with the available 83 I/O pins and programmable logic.
• Glue Logic and System Integration Consolidate discrete logic and timing functions into a single FPGA to reduce board complexity and component count.
• Embedded Control Run state machines, finite control logic and simple sequencers for consumer and commercial equipment.
• Prototyping and Proof-of-Concept Rapidly iterate digital designs and validate system-level functions using the device’s reprogrammable fabric.

Unique Advantages

• Mid-density programmable capacity: 608 logic element cells and roughly 24,000 gates provide adequate resources for moderate logic consolidation without excessive cost or board space.
• Generous I/O availability: 83 I/O pins enable direct interfacing to multiple peripherals and sensors, simplifying system partitioning.
• Flexible power compatibility: Operation across 3 V to 5.25 V rails fits common commercial power architectures and reduces the need for additional regulators.
• Compact surface-mount package: 100-pin BQFP (supplier 100-PQFP 20×14) supports higher pin counts in space-constrained PCBs.
• Commercial temperature suitability: Rated 0 °C to 70 °C for reliable operation in controlled-environment electronics and consumer applications.
• Manufacturer backing: Supplied by Microchip Technology, offering established product support and documentation for design integration.
