Overview of A42MX16-VQ100 – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 83 100-TQFP
The A42MX16-VQ100 is a field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology supplied in a 100-pin TQFP package. With up to 83 user I/O pins, approximately 24,000 gates and a combination of logic resources, it targets commercial electronic designs that require moderate logic integration in a compact surface-mount package.
Designed for commercial-grade applications operating between 0°C and 70°C and a supply range of 3 V to 5.25 V, this device is suited for control, interface and glue-logic roles where a balance of I/O count, gate capacity and package density is required.
Key Features
- Logic resources Approximately 24,000 gates with 1,232 logic elements and 608 logic element cells to implement medium-complexity digital designs.
- I/O count 83 user I/O pins to support multiple interfaces and peripheral connections in a single device.
- Package 100-pin TQFP (supplier designation 100-VQFP, 14×14 mm) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB layouts.
- Supply voltage Operates from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate a range of common digital power rails.
- Operating temperature Commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C for typical consumer and commercial electronics environments.
- On-chip memory No embedded RAM (Total RAM bits: 0), enabling deterministic use of external memory as required by the end application.
- Compliance RoHS compliant, supporting modern environmental and manufacturing requirements.
Typical Applications
- Embedded control and glue logic Use the device to consolidate discrete logic, implement protocol translators or perform board-level control functions with its available gate count and I/O complement.
- User interfaces Drive and manage moderate complexity user interface functions where multiple I/Os and programmable logic are needed for signal routing and control.
- Peripheral and sensor interfacing Adapt sensor signals and peripheral buses to system logic using the available I/O and programmable resources.
Unique Advantages
- Balanced logic density: Approximately 24,000 gates and a combined logic-element offering provide sufficient capacity for medium-complexity designs without excessive board-level integration.
- Compact surface-mount package: The 100-TQFP / 100-VQFP (14×14 mm) package enables compact PCB designs while preserving a generous I/O count.
- Flexible supply range: Support for 3 V to 5.25 V supplies allows straightforward integration into common commercial power architectures.
- Commercial temperature suitability: Specified for 0°C to 70°C operation, matching typical consumer and commercial deployment conditions.
- RoHS compliant: Meets environmental compliance expectations for modern electronics manufacturing.
