A42MX16-PLG84

The A42MX16-PLG84 is an MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology supplied in an 84-lead PLCC (J-lead) surface-mount package. It provides a compact, commercial-grade programmable logic option with up to 72 general-purpose I/O and a logic capacity suitable for mid-density control and glue-logic tasks.

Designed for systems operating from 3 V to 5.25 V and within a 0 °C to 70 °C ambient range, this device targets commercial electronic designs that require a balance of pin count, gate density and standard packaging.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity 608 logic elements and approximately 24,000 gates provide mid-density programmable logic for custom control, interfacing and glue logic implementations.
• I/O 72 available I/O pins for flexible peripheral interfacing and board-level signal routing.
• Package & Mounting 84-LCC (J-Lead) surface-mount package; supplier device package listed as 84-PLCC (29.31 × 29.31 mm) for standard PLCC board designs.
• Voltage Supply Supports a wide input range from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common commercial power rails.
• Operating Range Commercial temperature range: 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Compliance RoHS compliant to meet standard electronic materials requirements.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control Implement state machines, protocol handling and custom control logic using the device's mid-range gate and logic element count.
• Interface Bridging Use the 72 I/O lines to bridge between different digital subsystems or to implement glue logic on mixed-voltage boards operating within the stated supply range.
• Prototyping & Evaluation The PLCC package and commercial temperature rating make it suitable for lab prototypes and evaluation boards where standard packaging and I/O density are required.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Density: 608 logic elements and ~24,000 gates offer sufficient capacity for common mid-range FPGA tasks without the complexity of larger devices.
• Generous I/O Count: 72 I/O pins enable flexible system integration and multiple peripheral connections on a single device.
• Standard PLCC Packaging: The 84-lead PLCC (29.31 × 29.31 mm) J-lead package supports established board layouts and surface-mount assembly flows.
• Wide Supply Compatibility: Operates across 3 V to 5.25 V rails, allowing use in a variety of commercial power architectures.
• Commercial Temperature Qualification: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation for reliable performance in commercial environments.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets common environmental compliance requirements for modern electronic assemblies.
