A42MX16-TQG176

The A42MX16-TQG176 is an MX family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, supplied in a 176-pin surface-mount package. It provides moderate-density programmable logic and a substantial I/O count for designs that require configurable digital logic, signal interfacing, and board-level integration.

Featuring 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates with up to 140 I/O, the device targets commercial applications that need flexible logic implementation within a compact 176-LQFP footprint while operating across a wide supply range.

Key Features

• Core / Logic  608 logic elements and 24,000 gates for implementing combinational and sequential logic functions.
• I/O  140 general-purpose I/O pins to support multiple interfaces and board-level connectivity.
• Memory  No embedded on-chip RAM bits are provided.
• Power  Flexible voltage supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate a variety of system power rails.
• Package & Mounting  Surface-mount 176-LQFP package; supplier device package listed as 176-TQFP (24×24).
• Temperature & Grade  Commercial grade device rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant for regulatory and manufacturing compatibility.

Typical Applications

• Embedded control and glue logic  Implement custom control, state machines, and glue logic using the device's 608 logic elements and abundant I/O.
• Prototyping and development platforms  A reprogrammable FPGA option for proof-of-concept and iterative hardware development with measurable I/O capacity.
• Interface bridging and I/O expansion  Use the 140 I/O pins to bridge signals between subsystems or expand board connectivity without adding large external logic IC counts.
• Consumer electronics control  Suitable for commercial consumer designs that require configurable logic and operate within the specified 0 °C to 70 °C temperature range.
