Overview of A42MX16-TQG176A – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 140 176-LQFP
The A42MX16-TQG176A is an MX-series field programmable gate array designed for embedded logic implementations. This surface-mount FPGA provides a balance of logic density and I/O capability—including 608 logic elements, 24,000 gates and 140 I/Os—targeted at designs that require configurable digital logic in a compact 176-pin package.
Qualified to AEC-Q100 and rated for operation from -40 °C to 125 °C, the device is suitable for automotive and other harsh-environment electronic systems that demand robust temperature and qualification profiles. The device supports a broad supply range of 3.0 V to 5.25 V and is RoHS compliant.
Key Features
- Core Logic 608 logic elements and approximately 24,000 gates provide resources for implementing custom digital functions and glue logic.
- I/O Capacity 140 configurable I/O pins support broad external interfacing and signal routing for mixed-signal systems.
- Memory The device reports 0 total on-chip RAM bits; designs should plan external memory if runtime data storage is required.
- Package and Mounting Available in a 176-pin LQFP surface-mount package (supplier device package listed as 176-TQFP, 24×24), enabling compact PCB layouts.
- Power Wide supply range from 3.0 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common automotive and industrial supply rails.
- Temperature and Qualification Operating range from -40 °C to 125 °C with AEC-Q100 qualification and an automotive grade designation for reliability in demanding environments.
- Compliance RoHS compliant for regulatory and manufacturing compatibility.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Control Systems — Suited for vehicle electronics that require AEC-Q100 qualification and extended temperature operation for modules such as control units and sensor interfaces.
- Embedded Logic and Glue — Implement custom interfacing, protocol bridging, and timing logic where moderate gate count and high I/O count are required.
- Harsh-Environment Electronics — Use in systems that must operate reliably across -40 °C to 125 °C, benefiting ruggedized platform designs.
Unique Advantages
- Automotive-Qualified Silicon: AEC-Q100 qualification and automotive grade designation support deployment in automotive systems requiring component-level qualification.
- Broad I/O Count: 140 I/Os enable flexible external device interfacing and reduce the need for additional I/O expanders.
- Compact Surface-Mount Package: 176-pin LQFP (176-TQFP, 24×24) allows integration into space-constrained PCBs while maintaining ample I/O and logic.
- Wide Supply Range: 3.0 V to 5.25 V operation simplifies power rail compatibility across diverse platform designs.
- Extended Temperature Range: Rated from -40 °C to 125 °C for reliable operation in temperature-critical environments.
- Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports modern manufacturing and environmental requirements.
