A42MX16-PL84M

The A42MX16-PL84M is a field programmable gate array (FPGA) IC designed for military-grade, surface-mount applications. It provides a compact, reprogrammable logic resource with 608 logic elements (approximately 24,000 gates) and 72 general-purpose I/O pins for custom digital functions.

With a wide supply range of 3 V to 5.5 V and an operating temperature range from -55 °C to 125 °C, this device targets high-reliability designs that require board-level programmability and robust environmental tolerance.

Key Features

• Core Logic  608 logic elements delivering approximately 24,000 gates for implementing custom digital logic and glue functions.
• I/O Capability  72 I/O pins to support multiple peripheral interfaces and board-level interconnect requirements.
• Memory  No dedicated on-chip RAM (Total on-chip RAM: 0 bits), useful for designs that rely on external memory or emphasize pure logic functions.
• Power  Wide supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V to accommodate a variety of system power architectures and legacy voltages.
• Package and Mounting  84-LCC (J-Lead) package, supplier device package 84-PLCC (29.31 × 29.31 mm), designed for surface-mount PCB assembly.
• Temperature and Grade  Military grade with an operating temperature range of -55 °C to 125 °C for demanding environments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Defense and Military Systems  Programmable on-board logic for mission-critical subsystems where military-grade components and extended temperature ranges are required.
• Aerospace Electronics  Avionics and flight electronics that need rugged, reprogrammable logic with wide operating temperatures.
• Rugged Embedded Systems  Custom glue logic and control functions on PCBs used in harsh or temperature-extreme environments.

Unique Advantages

• Military-Grade Reliability: Rated for -55 °C to 125 °C and specified as Military grade to support high-reliability system requirements.
• Reprogrammable Logic Capacity: 608 logic elements (about 24,000 gates) provide the flexibility to implement custom digital functions and iterate designs without hardware redesigns.
• Generous I/O Count: 72 I/O pins simplify integration with multiple peripherals and board-level interfaces, reducing external glue logic.
• Wide Supply Voltage Range: Operates from 3 V to 5.5 V, enabling use across different system power domains and legacy voltage levels.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package: 84-LCC (J-Lead) / 84-PLCC (29.31 × 29.31 mm) provides a space-efficient package suitable for PCB assembly.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant for materials and assembly considerations.
