A42MX24-3PQ160I

The A42MX24-3PQ160I from Microchip Technology is a field programmable gate array (FPGA) provided in a 160-BQFP surface-mount package. It offers 912 logic elements (approximately 36,000 gates) and 125 user I/O, making it suitable for designs that require moderate logic density and significant I/O count.

Designed as an industrial-grade device, the part supports a wide supply range of 3 V to 5.5 V and an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C, matching environments where robust temperature performance and flexible power rails are required.

Key Features

• Logic Resources 912 logic elements and 36,000 gates to implement moderate-density custom logic and control functions.
• I/O Capacity 125 user I/O pins for interfacing with multiple peripherals, sensors, and external devices.
• Package & Mounting 160-BQFP package (supplier device package: 160-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB assembly.
• Power Supply Operates from 3 V to 5.5 V, enabling integration with a range of system voltage rails.
• Operating Range & Grade Industrial-grade device rated for -40 °C to 85 °C operation to meet industrial temperature requirements.
• On-chip Memory Total on-chip RAM bits: 0 (no embedded RAM reported for this device).

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control Use in control systems that require reliable operation across the industrial temperature range and significant I/O connectivity.
• I/O Expansion & Interface Bridging Provide programmable interfacing and signal management where up to 125 I/O are needed to connect peripherals and external modules.
• Custom Logic and Glue Logic Implement application-specific combinational and sequential logic functions within a compact, surface-mount 160-BQFP package.
• Prototyping and Low-Density FPGA Designs Suitable for evaluation and deployment of designs that fit within a moderate logic and gate budget.

Unique Advantages

• Compact surface-mount package: High pin count in a 160-BQFP (28×28) footprint for space-conscious board layouts.
• Flexible power input: 3 V to 5.5 V supply range eases integration with varied system power domains.
• Industrial temperature rating: -40 °C to 85 °C capability supports deployment in industrial environments.
• Balanced logic density: 912 logic elements and ~36,000 gates provide a tradeoff of capacity versus cost and power for many embedded designs.
• High I/O count: 125 I/O pins enable complex interfacing without external I/O expanders.
• Surface-mount assembly ready: Standard BQFP package simplifies manufacturing with common SMT processes.
