A42MX24-2PQG160I

The A42MX24-2PQG160I is an MX-series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology designed for industrial applications. It delivers mid-range logic capacity and flexible I/O in a 160-pin BQFP surface-mount package, supporting a wide supply voltage range and industrial temperature operation.

This device is suited for embedded logic, control and I/O-intensive designs where a compact, programmable logic solution with 125 I/O and industrial-grade operating conditions is required.

Key Features

• Core Logic  912 logic elements and 36,000 gates provide mid-range programmable logic capacity for custom combinational and sequential functions.
• I/O Count  125 general-purpose I/O pins to support multiple external interfaces and signal routing requirements.
• Package & Mounting  160-BQFP package (supplier device package: 160-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB integration.
• Supply Voltage  Operates across a wide supply range from 3 V to 5.5 V to accommodate different system power domains.
• Industrial Temperature Range  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 85 °C to meet industrial environmental requirements.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant for environmental and assembly considerations.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Implement custom control logic and I/O interfacing for factory automation and machine control systems using the device's industrial temperature rating and 125 I/O pins.
• Embedded System Glue Logic  Replace discrete logic with programmable logic to consolidate interfaces, timing, and handshaking between subsystems.
• Human‑Machine Interfaces and Panel Control  Drive and manage multiple input and output signals for user interfaces, display controllers, and keypad processing.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Density: 912 logic elements and 36,000 gates provide a practical balance between capability and cost for mid-complexity designs.
• Generous I/O Count: 125 I/O pins simplify board-level integration by directly supporting multiple peripherals and signal lines.
• Wide Supply Flexibility: 3 V to 5.5 V operating range allows integration into varied power architectures without additional level-shifting in many cases.
• Industrial Reliability: −40 °C to 85 °C operating temperature and industrial grade designation support deployment in demanding environments.
• Standard Surface-Mount Package: 160-BQFP (28×28) packaging supports common PCB assembly processes and compact board layouts.
• RoHS Compliance: Environmentally compliant for modern manufacturing and supply chain requirements.
