Overview of A42MX16-FPQG208 – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 140 208-BFQFP
The A42MX16-FPQG208 is a commercial-grade MX family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) provided in a 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package. It integrates 608 logic element cells and approximately 24,000 gates with 140 general-purpose I/O pins to support mid-density programmable-logic requirements.
Designed for commercial electronic systems, this FPGA offers flexible I/O, a broad supply voltage range, and standard operating temperature coverage suitable for a range of embedded and logic-integration tasks where a compact, surface-mount programmable solution is required.
Key Features
- Logic Capacity — 608 logic element cells and about 24,000 gates provide mid-range programmable logic resources for glue logic, control sequencing, and custom finite-state machines.
- I/O Resources — 140 available I/O pins support a variety of external interfaces and signal routing in a single device footprint.
- Memory — Total on-chip RAM bits: 0, enabling designers to plan external memory or use the device for logic-centric functions without embedded RAM assumptions.
- Power and Supply — Operates from a wide supply range of 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common commercial power rails.
- Package and Mounting — 208-BFQFP package case, supplied as a 208-PQFP (28×28) form factor, optimized for surface-mount assembly.
- Temperature Grade — Commercial operating temperature range from 0 °C to 70 °C for standard commercial deployments.
- Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant for regulatory alignment in commercial products.
Typical Applications
- Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement custom control logic and feature integration in consumer and business electronics within commercial temperature bounds.
- I/O Expansion and Interface Bridging — Use the 140 I/O pins to consolidate multiple peripheral signals, perform protocol translation, or implement glue logic between subsystems.
- Prototyping and Evaluation — Mid-density logic capacity and a standard PQFP footprint make the device suitable for board-level prototyping and development work.
Unique Advantages
- Balanced Logic Density: 608 logic element cells with ~24,000 gates provide a middle-ground resource set suitable for many commercial logic tasks without unnecessary complexity.
- Generous I/O Count: 140 I/O pins reduce the need for external I/O expanders and simplify board-level interconnections.
- Flexible Supply Range: 3 V to 5.25 V operation supports common system power architectures and simplifies integration into existing designs.
- Standard Surface-Mount Package: 208-BFQFP / 208-PQFP (28×28) footprint supports automated assembly and simplifies replacement in designs using PQFP packages.
- Commercial Grade Compatibility: Specified 0 °C to 70 °C operation and RoHS compliance align with mainstream commercial product requirements.
