A42MX16-TQG176I

The A42MX16-TQG176I is an MX family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology. It delivers reconfigurable digital logic with a package and I/O count suitable for compact, board-level implementations.

With 608 logic elements (corresponding to approximately 24,000 gates), 140 I/O pins, an industrial operating temperature range and a wide supply voltage window, this device is positioned for industrial-grade embedded logic and control applications that require moderate logic density and flexible interfacing.

Key Features

• Core Logic  608 logic elements and 24,000 gates provide the device’s programmable logic capacity for custom digital functions.
• I/O Capacity  140 user I/O pins support multiple external interfaces and signals on a single device.
• Memory  No on-chip embedded RAM (Total RAM Bits = 0); system designs should account for external memory if required.
• Power Supply  Operates from 3 V to 5.5 V, providing flexibility for common board power domains.
• Package & Mounting  Available in a 176-pin LQFP package (supplier device package listed as 176-TQFP, 24×24); surface-mount mounting type for PCB assembly.
• Temperature & Grade  Industrial grade with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C for temperature-hardened deployments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant for environmental and regulatory compatibility.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Use as configurable logic for control functions, signal aggregation, and glue logic in industrial automation equipment leveraging the device’s industrial temperature range.
• Embedded Interfaces  Implement custom I/O handling and protocol conversion using the 140 available I/O pins for varied sensor and actuator connectivity.
• Prototyping and Custom Logic  Suitable for board-level prototypes and low- to mid-density custom logic implementations where moderate gate count and reconfigurability are required.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Density:  608 logic elements and 24,000 gates offer a practical balance of capacity for mid-range programmable designs without excessive silicon overhead.
• Wide Supply Range:  3 V to 5.5 V operation eases integration with a variety of system power rails and legacy logic levels.
• High I/O Count:  140 I/O pins enable integration of multiple peripherals and signal domains on a single FPGA.
• Industrial Temperature Rating:  −40 °C to 85 °C operation provides suitability for many industrial and harsh-environment applications.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package:  176-pin LQFP/176-TQFP (24×24) packaging supports compact PCB layouts while maintaining accessible I/O.
• Regulatory Compliance:  RoHS compliance supports regulatory and environmental requirements for commercial deployment.
