A42MX16-PQG100

The A42MX16-PQG100 is an MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology supplied in a 100‑pin BQFP surface-mount package. It delivers a compact, commercially graded programmable logic option with 24,000 gates, 608 logic elements and up to 83 general-purpose I/Os.

Targeted at commercial embedded applications, this device supports a 3.0 V to 5.25 V supply range and a 0 °C to 70 °C operating window, providing a straightforward FPGA building block for designs that require modest logic density and flexible I/O in a small-footprint package.

Key Features

• Core Logic 24,000 gates and 608 logic elements provide the programmable resources needed for small-to-medium custom logic implementations.
• I/O Count 83 available I/O pins support interfacing to a variety of peripherals and external devices.
• On‑Chip Memory No embedded RAM (Total RAM bits: 0), enabling designs that rely on external memory or are primarily combinatorial/sequential logic driven.
• Supply Voltage Wide supply range from 3.0 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common commercial logic levels.
• Package & Mounting 100‑BQFP package case, supplier device package 100‑PQFP (20×14), surface‑mount mounting for compact PCB integration.
• Commercial Grade Temperature Rated for operation from 0 °C to 70 °C for commercial deployments.
• RoHS Compliant Environmentally compliant manufacturing status.

Typical Applications

• Commercial embedded systems — Implement control logic, protocol bridging, or glue logic using 608 logic elements and up to 83 I/Os within a compact 100‑pin package.
• Consumer electronics — Integrate custom peripheral interfaces or user‑interface controllers where a commercial temperature range and 3.0–5.25 V operation are acceptable.
• Prototyping and evaluation — Use the surface‑mount 100‑BQFP device for board-level prototyping and proof-of-concept logic designs that require moderate gate and I/O resources.

Unique Advantages

• Compact 100‑pin BQFP package: Small footprint surface‑mount package simplifies PCB layout for space‑constrained designs.
• Balanced logic and I/O capacity: 24,000 gates with 608 logic elements and 83 I/Os allow integration of control, interface, and glue logic without larger FPGA hardware.
• Flexible voltage support: 3.0 V to 5.25 V supply range supports a variety of common commercial logic domains.
• Commercial temperature rating: 0 °C to 70 °C aligns with consumer and general-purpose embedded product requirements.
• RoHS compliance: Meets common environmental requirements for commercial manufacturing.
