A42MX16-3PQ208

The A42MX16-3PQ208 is an MX-series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for commercial embedded logic applications. It provides a mid-range complement of logic resources and I/O in a 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package.

With 608 logic element cells, 140 user I/Os and a wide supply range, this device targets designs that require flexible digital integration and a compact package footprint within commercial temperature conditions.

Key Features

• Device Type  Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, MX family variant in a 208-BFQFP package.
• Logic Capacity  608 logic element cells and 24,000 gates provide moderate on-chip logic resources for custom digital functions.
• I/O  140 general-purpose I/Os to support multiple peripheral interfaces and board-level interconnects.
• Memory  No on-chip RAM (Total Ram Bits: 0), suitable for designs relying on external memory or minimal internal storage.
• Power  Voltage supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common system power rails.
• Package & Mounting  208-BFQFP (supplier device package noted as 208-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount configuration for PCB assembly.
• Operating Range & Grade  Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant for lead-free manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems  Implement custom digital logic and control functions in commercial electronics leveraging the device's logic capacity and I/O count.
• Prototyping and Development  Evaluate mid-range FPGA designs in a compact 208-pin BFQFP package suitable for board-level prototyping and evaluation.
