The A42MX24-3PQ208 is an MX series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology built for commercial embedded applications. It provides a balance of programmable logic capacity and high I/O density in a 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package.

Key on-device specifications include approximately 36,000 gates, 912 logic element cells, 1,890 configurable logic blocks (CLBs) and up to 176 I/Os. The device operates from 3 V to 5.25 V and is specified for a commercial temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.

Key Features

• Core Logic Capacity  Approximately 36,000 gates delivered across 1,890 configurable logic blocks (CLBs) and 912 logic element cells for implementing custom glue logic, control functions and moderate-complexity digital designs.
• I/O and Packaging  Up to 176 I/Os in a 208-BFQFP package (supplier package: 208-PQFP, 28×28). Surface-mount mounting supports compact board layouts and standard assembly flows.
• Voltage Flexibility  Wide operating supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate a variety of system power rails and interfacing requirements.
• Commercial Temperature Grade  Specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation, suitable for consumer and other commercial electronic environments.
• Regulatory Compliance  RoHS-compliant for lead-free manufacturing and alignment with common environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control  Custom control logic, I/O management and peripheral interfacing in commercial embedded systems where moderate logic capacity and high I/O count are required.
• Consumer Electronics  Feature and interface integration for consumer devices, leveraging the device’s I/O density and compact BFQFP package for space-constrained PCBs.
• Prototyping and Development  Fast-turn programmable logic for proof-of-concept designs and development platforms that need reconfigurable logic and substantial I/O.
• Communications & Peripherals  Protocol bridging, glue logic and custom peripheral control that benefit from many I/O lines and flexible logic resources.

Unique Advantages

• High I/O Count:  176 I/Os provide broad connectivity for interfacing with sensors, peripherals and multiple buses without external multiplexing.
• Moderate Logic Density:  Approximately 36,000 gates with 1,890 CLBs and 912 logic element cells—suitable for medium-complexity FPGA tasks while keeping BOM simple.
• Board-Level Integration:  208-BFQFP (28×28 PQFP) surface-mount package enables compact, industry-standard PCB assembly.
• Flexible Power Support:  3 V to 5.25 V supply range simplifies integration with common commercial power domains.
• Commercial Grade:  Specified 0 °C to 70 °C operation aligns with consumer and general commercial product requirements.
• RoHS Compliance:  Meets lead-free manufacturing requirements for regulated markets.
