A42MX16-PQ208

The A42MX16-PQ208 is an MX family field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for commercial embedded applications. It provides a balance of programmable logic and I/O capability in a compact surface-mount 208-BFQFP package.

With 24,000 gates, 1232 logic elements and up to 140 I/O pins, this device targets designs that require moderate logic capacity and a high pin count while operating from a broad 3 V to 5.25 V supply range.

Key Features

• Logic resources — 24,000 gates and 1232 logic elements for implementing combinational and sequential logic.
• I/O — 140 general-purpose I/O pins to support multiple interfaces and external peripherals.
• Memory — Total on-chip RAM: 0 bits; suitable for logic-centric designs that do not rely on embedded RAM.
• Voltage supply — Wide operating supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common commercial system rails.
• Package & mounting — 208-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) with surface-mount mounting for compact PCB implementation.
• Operating temperature & grade — Commercial grade with an operating range of 0°C to 70°C for standard commercial environments.
• Environmental compliance — RoHS compliant for regulatory and manufacturing consistency.

Typical Applications

• Embedded control systems — Implement control logic and glue logic where up to 140 I/O and 24,000 gates provide the necessary interface and processing capability.
• User interface and peripheral bridging — Manage and translate signals between multiple external peripherals using abundant I/O.
• Prototyping and development — Evaluate custom logic functions in commercial prototypes that operate within a 0°C to 70°C range.

Unique Advantages

• High I/O density: 140 I/O pins enable direct connections to numerous peripherals and interfaces, reducing the need for external multiplexers.
• Balanced logic capacity: 24,000 gates and 1232 logic elements deliver substantial programmable logic for medium-complexity designs.
• Flexible supply compatibility: 3 V to 5.25 V supply range aligns with common commercial power rails for straightforward system integration.
• Compact surface-mount package: 208-BFQFP (28×28 PQFP footprint) provides a high-pin-count solution in a package suitable for dense PCB layouts.
• Commercial-grade suitability: Specified for 0°C to 70°C operation to meet typical commercial product requirements.
• Regulatory minded: RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious manufacturing processes.
