Overview of A42MX16-FPQ160 – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 125 160-BQFP
The A42MX16-FPQ160 is a commercial-grade Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) supplied in a 160-BQFP surface-mount package. It integrates 608 logic elements (approximately 24,000 gates) and 125 general-purpose I/O pins to support configurable digital logic in commercial electronic designs.
Designed for use within a 3 V to 5.25 V supply range and rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation, this RoHS-compliant device provides a compact, solderable FPGA option for applications that require programmable logic density and a moderate I/O count.
Key Features
- Logic Capacity — 608 logic elements and approximately 24,000 gates provide the device's programmable fabric for implementing custom digital logic.
- I/O Density — 125 general-purpose I/O pins support multiple external interfaces and connections for system integration.
- Memory — Total on-chip RAM bits: 0, indicating no embedded RAM in this device.
- Power — Operates from 3 V to 5.25 V, allowing compatibility with a range of common commercial supply rails.
- Package & Mounting — 160-BQFP package (supplier designation 160-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB assembly.
- Temperature & Grade — Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
- Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant for regulatory adherence in many commercial products.
Typical Applications
- Commercial embedded systems — Implement custom logic functions and control tasks in room-temperature commercial electronics using the device's logic elements and I/O count.
- Prototyping and development — Use the programmable fabric and accessible I/O for validating digital designs and interface concepts.
- I/O expansion and glue logic — Deploy the FPGA to consolidate discrete glue logic and moderate I/O routing in compact board designs.
Unique Advantages
- Configurable logic density: 608 logic elements and ~24,000 gates let designers map a variety of digital functions without discrete ASIC development.
- Moderate I/O capability: 125 I/Os enable interfacing to multiple peripherals or bus lines while keeping board routing manageable.
- Flexible supply range: 3 V to 5.25 V operation supports integration into a variety of commercial power domains.
- Surface-mount 160-BQFP package: Provides a compact, PCB-friendly footprint (supplier 160-PQFP, 28×28) for assembly in space-constrained designs.
- Commercial temperature rating: Rated 0 °C to 70 °C for typical room-temperature deployment scenarios.
- RoHS compliant: Facilitates regulatory compliance in many commercial product lines.
