A42MX16-VQ100A

The A42MX16-VQ100A is an MX family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It provides a compact, automotive-qualified programmable logic element with a balance of logic capacity and I/O for embedded control and interface tasks.

Designed for environments requiring AEC-Q100 qualification and extended temperature operation, this device targets applications where reliability, predictable logic capacity and a wide supply voltage range are important.

Key Features

• Core and Logic — 608 logic elements and 24,000 gates provide defined, deterministic programmable logic resources for glue logic and custom control functions.
• I/O — 83 user I/Os to support multiple peripheral interfaces and signal routing on compact boards.
• Memory — No on-chip embedded RAM (0 bits), suited for designs that use external memory or are primarily combinational/sequential logic based.
• Power — Wide voltage supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V for compatibility with common automotive and industrial power rails.
• Package & Mounting — 100-pin TQFP package, surface-mount mounting; supplier device package listed as 100‑VQFP (14×14 mm).
• Temperature & Qualification — Operating range −40 °C to 125 °C and AEC-Q100 qualification, indicating suitability for automotive-grade deployments.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q100 qualified — Built to an automotive qualification standard and rated for −40 °C to 125 °C operation for use in demanding environments.
• Balanced logic and I/O — 608 logic elements with 83 I/Os offer a practical mix for control, interface and signal-conditioning tasks without excess board area.
• Wide supply voltage compatibility — Operates across 3 V to 5.25 V rails, simplifying integration with a range of vehicle and embedded power systems.
• Compact surface-mount footprint — 100-pin TQFP (supplier 100‑VQFP 14×14 mm) supports dense PCB layouts while keeping package complexity manageable.
• Predictable implementation — Fixed on-chip resources (no embedded RAM) simplify resource planning for deterministic logic designs.
• Regulatory readiness — RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious manufacturing and procurement.
