Overview of A42MX16-FPL84 – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC, 72 I/O, 84-LCC (J-Lead)
The A42MX16-FPL84 is an MX family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in an 84‑lead LCC (J‑lead) package. It delivers a programmable logic resource comprising approximately 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates with 72 user I/O pins and a 3.00 V to 5.25 V supply range.
Designed for surface-mount assembly and commercial-grade operation from 0 °C to 70 °C, this device is suited for designs that require a balance of moderate logic capacity and flexible I/O integration in a compact PLCC-style package.
Key Features
- Core Logic Approximately 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates provide the programmable fabric for implementing custom logic and control functions.
- I/O and Connectivity 72 general-purpose I/O pins support direct interfacing with peripherals and external logic on mixed-signal and digital boards.
- Power Wide operating supply range from 3.00 V to 5.25 V accommodates a variety of system voltage domains.
- Package & Mounting 84‑lead LCC (J‑lead) package, supplier device package listed as 84‑PLCC with package dimensions 29.31 × 29.31 mm, optimized for surface-mount PCB assembly.
- Operating Conditions Commercial grade device rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operating temperature range.
- Regulatory Compliance RoHS compliant to support lead‑free manufacturing and environmental requirements.
Typical Applications
- Custom logic and glue‑logic — Implement board-level glue logic and application-specific combinational or sequential logic where up to 24,000 gates and 72 I/O are required.
- Peripheral and interface controllers — Create peripheral bridges and protocol adapters that benefit from the part’s I/O density and programmable logic.
- Prototype and mid-density integration — Rapidly iterate hardware designs requiring moderate logic capacity in a surface‑mount PLCC form factor.
- User interface and control — Drive display controllers, input scanning, and control logic using available I/O and programmable resources.
Unique Advantages
- Balanced logic capacity: Approximately 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates provide sufficient resources for mid-density programmable tasks without excessive footprint.
- Flexible I/O count: 72 user I/O pins enable direct interfacing to multiple peripherals and external devices, reducing the need for additional interface chips.
- Wide supply range: Operates across 3.00 V to 5.25 V systems for compatibility with common board power rails.
- Commercial-grade temperature: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C, suitable for standard commercial electronic products and applications.
- RoHS compliant: Supports lead‑free manufacturing processes and environmental compliance objectives.
- Surface-mount, PLCC-style packaging: 84‑lead LCC (J‑lead) provides a compact, manufacturable form factor for PCB assembly.
