Overview of A42MX24-1PQ208 – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 176 208-BFQFP
The A42MX24-1PQ208 is an MX family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology. This surface-mount FPGA combines a moderate logic element count with a high I/O complement, packaged in a 208-BFQFP (28 × 28) form factor for compact board-level integration.
With 912 logic elements (approximately 36,000 gates), 176 user I/O pins, a supply range of 3 V to 5.25 V, and RoHS compliance, the device targets commercial-grade applications requiring flexible programmable logic and extensive external interfacing within an ambient operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
Key Features
- Core / Logic — 912 logic elements and 36,000 gates provide moderate programmable logic capacity for glue logic, control functions, and custom logic blocks.
- LABs — 1,890 LABs reported for architectural partitioning and resource organization.
- I/O — 176 user I/O pins support extensive external interfacing for parallel buses, control signals, and peripheral connections.
- Memory — Total on-chip RAM bits: 0, indicating no embedded RAM resources on this device.
- Power — Wide supply voltage range from 3 V to 5.25 V enables compatibility with common digital power rails.
- Package & Mounting — 208-BFQFP package (supplier package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount configuration for PCB assembly.
- Environmental / Grade — Commercial grade device with RoHS compliance; operating temperature range 0 °C to 70 °C.
Typical Applications
- Control and Glue Logic — Implements custom control sequences, signal conditioning, and interface glue between discrete components and subsystems.
- High‑I/O Interfacing — Handles board-level parallel I/O tasks and multi-signal interfacing where a large number of external connections are required.
- Prototyping and Custom Logic — Suitable for development platforms and prototypes that require reprogrammable logic with moderate resource counts.
Unique Advantages
- Broad I/O Count: 176 user I/Os support complex external connectivity and flexible pin assignments at the board level.
- Moderate Logic Capacity: 912 logic elements and 36,000 gates provide a balance of capability for mid-range programmable logic tasks without excessive board space.
- Flexible Supply Range: Operates from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common digital supply rails and interfacing requirements.
- Compact BFQFP Package: 208-pin BFQFP (28×28) enables high pin count in a standardized surface-mount package for PCB density optimization.
- RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS standards for environmentally conscious designs.
- Commercial Temperature Rating: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation to match typical commercial electronic product environments.
