A42MX16-VQG100M

The A42MX16-VQG100M is a military-grade MX field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology offered in a 100-TQFP package. It provides a compact, surface-mount FPGA fabric with 608 logic elements and approximately 24,000 gates for implementing custom digital logic.

With 83 general-purpose I/Os, a wide 3 V to 5.5 V supply range and an extended operating temperature span of −55 °C to 125 °C, this device is suited for deployed systems that require rugged electrical and thermal performance while retaining flexible on-board logic resources.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity 608 logic elements and approximately 24,000 gates for implementing combinational and sequential logic functions.
• I/O Count 83 user I/O pins to support multiple peripheral interfaces and board-level connectivity.
• Memory No embedded RAM (total RAM bits: 0), enabling use in designs where logic density rather than on-chip storage is the priority.
• Power Supply Flexible voltage support from 3 V to 5.5 V to accommodate a range of legacy and modern system power rails.
• Package & Mounting 100-TQFP surface-mount package (supplier device package: 100-VQFP, 14 × 14 mm) for compact PCB integration.
• Temperature & Grade Military grade device with operating temperature from −55 °C to 125 °C for use in high-reliability and harsh-environment applications.
• Compliance RoHS compliant to meet modern environmental standards for lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• Military and Avionics Systems Military-grade qualification and extended temperature range make this FPGA suitable for control, signal processing, and interface logic in defense and avionics equipment.
• Rugged Embedded Control Use as glue logic, protocol bridging, or custom control functions in embedded platforms that require wide supply voltage tolerance and robust thermal performance.
• Industrial Electronics in Harsh Environments Integration into industrial controllers and instrumentation where extended temperature capability and a high number of I/Os are required.

Unique Advantages

• Military-Grade Robustness: Qualified grade and −55 °C to 125 °C operating range support deployment in demanding thermal and reliability environments.
• Flexible Supply Voltage: 3 V to 5.5 V operation allows the FPGA to be powered from a variety of system rails without additional power conversion in many designs.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 100-TQFP (14 × 14 mm) package enables high-density PCB layouts while providing ample I/O count for system interfaces.
• Ample I/O Resources: 83 I/Os let designers implement multiple peripheral connections and board-level interfaces without external multiplexing.
• Clear Logic Footprint: 608 logic elements and ~24,000 gates offer a transparent capacity for mapping custom logic functions and system glue logic.
• Environmentally Compliant: RoHS compliance supports modern manufacturing and environmental requirements.
