A42MX24-1PQG160

The A42MX24-1PQG160 is an MX family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology configured in a 160-pin BQFP package. It provides a moderate logic density device with 912 logic elements and 36,000 gates, along with up to 125 general-purpose I/Os, making it suitable for commercial embedded designs that require customizable glue logic, protocol bridging, or peripheral aggregation.

Designed for surface-mount assembly and commercial-temperature operation, the device supports supply voltages from 3 V to 5.25 V and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Core Logic  912 logic elements and approximately 36,000 gates to implement custom combinational and sequential logic functions.
• I/O  125 general-purpose I/O pins for interfacing with sensors, peripherals, and external logic in typical embedded systems.
• Memory  No dedicated on-chip RAM (Total RAM Bits = 0); designs that require embedded RAM should plan for external memory or alternative architectures.
• Power  Flexible supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common commercial power rails.
• Package & Mounting  160-BQFP surface-mount package; supplier device package listed as 160-PQFP (28×28) for PCB footprint reference.
• Operating Range & Grade  Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant for environmental and regulatory alignment in commercial products.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control  Implement custom control logic and state machines for consumer or industrial-adjacent equipment where commercial temperature range is acceptable.
• Peripheral Aggregation  Aggregate and translate signals between multiple sensors, displays, or serial interfaces using the device’s 125 I/O pins.
• Protocol Bridging  Create interface bridges or glue logic between subsystems that require custom timing or signal conditioning.
• Prototyping and Proof-of-Concept  Use the FPGA’s reprogrammable fabric for rapid validation of logic architectures and hardware offload ideas.

Unique Advantages

• Moderate Logic Density:  912 logic elements provide a balance of capacity for custom logic without the footprint and cost of larger FPGAs.
• High I/O Count:  125 I/Os enable broad connectivity for peripherals and sensors, reducing the need for additional I/O expanders.
• Wide Supply Compatibility:  Operates from 3 V to 5.25 V, allowing integration with common commercial power domains.
• Surface-Mount Packaging:  160-pin BQFP package supports compact PCB layouts and standard assembly processes.
• Regulatory Alignment:  RoHS compliance supports deployment in products targeting regions and customers with environmental requirements.
