A42MX16-3PQ208I

The A42MX16-3PQ208I is an MX family Field Programmable Gate Array from Microchip Technology presented in a 208-BFQFP (28×28) surface-mount package. It provides configurable logic resources and a substantial I/O count for industrial embedded designs.

With 24,000 gates, 608 logic elements and 140 I/O pins, this industrial-grade FPGA is suited for designs that require flexible digital logic, broad interfacing capability and operation across a wide supply voltage and temperature range.

Key Features

• Core Logic  24,000 gates and 608 logic elements provide a fixed pool of programmable logic for implementing combinational and sequential functions.
• I/O Density  140 I/O pins enable broad external interfacing and support for multiple peripherals or bus connections directly from the device.
• Memory  Total on-chip RAM bits: 0 (no embedded RAM)
• Power  Operates from a 3 V to 5.5 V supply range to accommodate common embedded power rails.
• Package & Mounting  208-BFQFP (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB assembly.
• Temperature & Grade  Industrial grade operation from −40 °C to 85 °C for deployment in standard industrial environments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant material status.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Use the device where industrial-grade temperature range and configurable logic are needed for control algorithms and I/O aggregation.
• Embedded System Integration  Implement custom interface logic and glue functions in embedded products that require a high I/O count and flexible gate resources.
• Protocol Bridging  Deploy as a bridge between multiple peripherals or buses, leveraging 140 I/O pins to connect diverse interfaces.
• Prototyping and Custom Digital Logic  Rapidly iterate and validate digital designs that fit within 608 logic elements and the available gate budget.

Unique Advantages

• Configurable Logic Capacity: 24,000 gates and 608 logic elements enable implementation of a wide range of custom digital functions without ASIC development.
• High I/O Count: 140 I/O pins reduce external multiplexing and simplify board-level interfacing for complex systems.
• Flexible Power Range: Operation from 3 V to 5.5 V supports integration into systems with common logic power domains.
• Industrial Qualification: Rated for −40 °C to 85 °C and identified as industrial grade, suitable for standard industrial deployment.
• Surface-Mount BFQFP Package: 208-pin BFQFP (28×28) balances pin density and board-level assembly for compact designs.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS material requirements for regulatory and manufacturing considerations.
