Overview of A42MX16-PQ100A – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 83 100-BQFP
The A42MX16-PQ100A is a MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) offered in a 100-BQFP package. It delivers a mid-range programmable logic solution with 83 user I/O, approximately 24,000 gates and 1,232 logic elements, targeting applications that require automotive-qualified performance in a surface-mount footprint.
Designed to operate across a wide supply range of 3 V to 5.25 V and an extended temperature window from −40 °C to 125 °C, this device provides a combination of integration, I/O density and automotive-grade qualification (AEC‑Q100) for robust embedded designs.
Key Features
- Logic Capacity Approximately 24,000 gates and 1,232 logic elements provide mid-range programmable logic resources for glue logic, protocol bridging and custom control functions.
- I/O Density 83 user I/O pins suitable for interfacing sensors, actuators and peripheral devices without external I/O expanders.
- Voltage Flexibility Supports a broad supply voltage range from 3 V to 5.25 V, enabling compatibility with multiple logic-voltage domains.
- Automotive Qualification & Temperature Range Grade: Automotive and Qualification: AEC‑Q100; rated for operation from −40 °C to 125 °C for deployment in temperature-challenging environments.
- Package & Mounting 100‑lead BQFP package (supplier device package 100‑PQFP, 20×14) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB area-efficient assembly.
- RoHS Compliant Manufactured in compliance with RoHS environmental standards.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Embedded Systems Automotive-qualified FPGA for in-vehicle control modules and sensor interface logic where extended temperature and AEC‑Q100 qualification are required.
- Industrial Control Mid-range programmable logic for control and monitoring functions that benefit from a wide supply-voltage window and robust operating temperature range.
- Custom I/O and Protocol Bridging Use as a configurable interface or glue logic device to consolidate discrete components and address specific I/O or protocol translation needs.
Unique Advantages
- Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC‑Q100 qualification and a −40 °C to 125 °C operating range support demanding automotive and harsh-environment deployments.
- Balanced Logic Density: Approximately 24,000 gates and 1,232 logic elements deliver sufficient programmable resources for mid-complexity designs without excessive board-level complexity.
