The A42MX16-3TQG176I is an MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology presented in a 176-LQFP surface-mount package. It provides reconfigurable logic resources with a defined gate count and a high I/O density for designs requiring customizable digital logic.

This device is specified for industrial use with a supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V and an operating temperature range of −40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for applications that require robust temperature tolerance and wide supply compatibility.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 24,000 gates and 608 logic elements provide defined programmable logic resources for custom digital functions.
• Input/Output  140 user I/O pins enable interfacing to a wide range of peripherals, sensors, and external devices.
• Embedded Memory  Total on-chip RAM bits reported as 0.
• Power and Voltage  Supports a flexible supply voltage range from 3 V to 5.5 V for compatibility with different system power domains.
• Package and Mounting  176-LQFP (supplier device package: 176-TQFP 24×24) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB integration.
• Temperature and Grade  Industrial grade device specified for operation from −40°C to 85°C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial control  Leverages the industrial temperature rating and 140 I/O to implement custom control logic and real-time interfacing in industrial equipment.
• Mixed-voltage system integration  The 3 V to 5.5 V supply range supports integration into designs with varying board power rails and legacy voltage domains.
• Space-constrained PCB designs  The 176-LQFP surface-mount package supports dense board layouts where a compact programmable-logic device is required.

Unique Advantages
