A42MX24-3PQ208I

The A42MX24-3PQ208I is an industrial-grade MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, packaged in a 208-pin BFQFP/PQFP footprint. It delivers moderate logic density and a high I/O count in a surface-mount package suitable for temperature-stable embedded and industrial applications.

With approximately 912 logic elements (36,000 gates) and 176 user I/Os, this device is targeted at designs that require configurable digital logic, substantial I/O connectivity, and a wide supply-voltage tolerance for flexible system integration.

Key Features

• Core & Logic  Approximately 912 logic elements providing combinational and sequential resources for implementing custom digital logic.
• Gate Density  About 36,000 gates to support mid-range logic designs and glue-logic consolidation.
• I/O Capacity  176 user I/Os, enabling dense peripheral interfacing and multiple parallel connections.
• Power Supply  Operates across a wide supply range from 3 V to 5.5 V to accommodate a variety of system power rails.
• Package & Mounting  208-pin BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board integration.
• Temperature & Grade  Industrial-grade operation from −40 °C to 85 °C for deployment in temperature-demanding environments.
• On-Chip Memory  No on-chip RAM (Total Ram Bits: 0), suitable for designs that rely on external memory or minimal internal storage.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant, meeting lead-free assembly and environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Programmable control and interface functions where industrial temperature range and robust I/O count are required.
• I/O-Intensive Systems  Boards and modules that need many parallel or multiplexed external connections using up to 176 user I/Os.
• Custom Logic Implementation  Mid-density logic functions, protocol glue, and state machines implemented with approximately 912 logic elements and 36,000 gates.
