A42MX16-3PQ100I

The A42MX16-3PQ100I is a Microchip Technology MX-series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a 100-pin BQFP package designed for industrial embedded applications. It provides a compact, reconfigurable logic fabric with 608 logic elements and approximately 24,000 gates, along with 83 I/O pins for flexible interfacing in constrained board layouts.

With a wide supply range (3 V to 5.5 V) and an industrial operating temperature range (−40 °C to 85 °C), this surface-mount FPGA suits designs requiring rugged operation and straightforward integration into existing 3–5 V systems.

Key Features

• Core Logic  608 logic elements delivering approximately 24,000 gates for implementing medium-complexity logic and control functions.
• I/O Capacity  83 user I/O pins enabling diverse peripheral and bus interfacing without external glue logic.
• Supply Voltage  Operates across a broad 3 V to 5.5 V range to accommodate typical embedded system power domains.
• Package  100-BQFP surface-mount package; supplier device package listed as 100-PQFP (20×14) for compact PCB footprints.
• Industrial Temperature  Rated for −40 °C to 85 °C operation, suitable for industrial environment deployments.
• Mounting & Compliance  Surface-mount device with RoHS compliance for modern manufacturing standards.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Implement custom control logic, I/O aggregation, and protocol adaptation in automated equipment and factory systems requiring industrial temperature operation.
• Embedded Systems  Integrate medium-complexity digital functions and interface translation in compact embedded products where board space and I/O count are constrained.
• Interface & Glue Logic  Consolidate discrete logic and manage signal routing between subsystems using the available 83 I/O pins.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Capacity:  608 logic elements and ~24k gates provide a mid-range implementation platform that fits many control and interfacing tasks without overprovisioning.
• Flexible Power Integration:  Wide 3 V to 5.5 V supply range simplifies integration into systems with different power rails and reduces the need for additional regulators.
• Industrial Robustness:  Specified −40 °C to 85 °C operation and surface-mount packaging support deployment in industrial environments with standard PCB assembly processes.
• Compact Package:  100-pin BQFP (supplier 100-PQFP 20×14) provides a small footprint for dense designs while maintaining ample I/O availability.
• Regulatory Compatibility:  RoHS-compliant construction aligns with contemporary manufacturing and environmental requirements.
