A42MX16-PL84A

The A42MX16-PL84A is a MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in an 84-lead PLCC J‑lead package designed for surface-mount assembly. It delivers a mid-range logic resource set—including 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates—with up to 72 I/O pins, making it suitable for embedded control and interface applications that require reprogrammable logic in a compact package.

Qualified to AEC‑Q100 and specified for operation from -40 °C to 125 °C with a 3.0–5.25 V supply range, this device addresses designs that need automotive-grade qualification and extended-temperature performance with RoHS compliance for environmental requirements.

Key Features

• Logic Resources 608 logic elements and approximately 24,000 gates provide programmable combinational and sequential logic capacity for glue logic, protocol handling, and custom control functions.
• High I/O Count Up to 72 I/O pins enable dense external interfacing for sensor arrays, communication buses, and peripheral control without external I/O expanders.
• Automotive Qualification AEC‑Q100 qualification and an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C make the device suitable for automotive electronic applications requiring recognized component qualification.
• Flexible Power Wide supply voltage support from 3.0 V to 5.25 V allows integration into systems with legacy 5 V domains or modern 3.3 V rails.
• Package and Mounting 84‑lead PLCC (J‑lead) package, supplier device package size 29.31 × 29.31 mm, surface-mount type supports compact PCB layouts while preserving solderable, industry-standard footprint.
• Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant construction for design compliance with common environmental and regulatory requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — AEC‑Q100 qualification and extended temperature range enable use in automotive control and interface modules that require reliable programmable logic.
• Embedded control and I/O aggregation — 72 I/O pins support consolidated sensor, actuator and peripheral interfacing where programmable glue logic simplifies board design.
• Protocol bridging and custom logic — Mid-range logic capacity (608 logic elements, 24,000 gates) suits protocol conversion, timing control, and bespoke digital functions in constrained designs.

Unique Advantages

• AEC‑Q100 Qualification: Ensures the device meets automotive component qualification requirements for designs targeting vehicle environments.
• Wide Operating Range: -40 °C to 125 °C operation and 3.0–5.25 V supply compatibility support integration across diverse system power and thermal conditions.
• Compact PLCC Package: The 84‑lead PLCC (29.31 × 29.31 mm) J‑lead package offers a space-efficient footprint for dense PCB layouts while remaining surface-mount compatible.
• Balanced Logic and I/O: Combination of 608 logic elements and 72 I/O pins provides practical capacity for moderate-complexity designs without overspecifying resources.
• Regulatory-Friendly: RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious product requirements and simplifies regulatory documentation.
