A42MX24-1PQG160M

The A42MX24-1PQG160M is an MX series field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, delivered in a 160-pin BQFP package. It provides a compact, solderable surface-mount FPGA option with a defined logic capacity and a wide operating temperature range suitable for demanding environments.

This device fits applications that require moderate logic density, a substantial number of I/O signals, and operation across a broad supply range. Its military grade thermal specification and RoHS compliance make it suitable for designs where environmental robustness and regulatory compliance are required.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 912 logic elements and approximately 36,000 gates provide a deterministic, moderate-density logic fabric for control and glue-logic functions.
• I/O Resources — 125 general-purpose I/O pins accommodate multiple interfaces and board-level signal requirements.
• Power Range — Operates from 3 V to 5.5 V, enabling compatibility with a variety of legacy and modern power domains.
• Package and Mounting — 160-BQFP package (supplier device package: 160-PQFP, 28×28 mm) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB integration.
• Temperature and Grade — Military grade device rated for operation from −55°C to 125°C to meet stringent environmental demands.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant for regulatory and environmental conformity.

Typical Applications

• Military and Defense Electronics — Designed for systems requiring military-grade temperature tolerance and reliable logic integration.
• Board-Level Interface and Glue Logic — 125 I/O pins and a moderate logic element count make it suitable for consolidating interface logic and custom control functions.
• Space-Constrained Embedded Systems — 160-pin BQFP surface-mount packaging enables FPGA integration into compact PCB layouts.
