A42MX24-FPQ160

The A42MX24-FPQ160 is an MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology providing programmable logic in a 160-pin BQFP package. It delivers a balance of moderate logic capacity, a high I/O count and flexible power input suitable for commercial electronic applications.

With approximately 36,000 gates, 912 logic elements and 125 user I/O, this surface-mount FPGA supports designs that require configurable logic, a broad I/O interface and operation across a 3.0 V to 5.25 V supply range.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Approximately 912 logic elements and about 36,000 gates provide programmable fabric for custom digital functions and glue logic.
• I/O  125 user I/O pins support interfacing to multiple peripherals and bus systems in compact designs.
• On-chip Memory  No embedded RAM bits are provided (Total RAM Bits: 0), appropriate for designs that rely on external memory or do not require internal block RAM.
• Power  Operates from 3.0 V to 5.25 V supply rails, enabling compatibility with a range of common digital voltage domains.
• Package & Mounting  160-BQFP package (supplier device package: 160-PQFP 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for board-level integration.
• Temperature & Grade  Commercial grade device specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operating temperature.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant for adherence to common environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Commercial embedded systems  Implement custom control logic and peripheral interfacing where moderate logic resources and a high I/O count are required.
• Consumer electronics  Integrate application-specific digital functions in compact surface-mount designs using the 160-pin BQFP package.
• Prototyping and development  Validate custom digital architectures and I/O-intensive designs during product development and proof-of-concept stages.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic capacity: About 912 logic elements and ~36,000 gates provide sufficient programmable resources for control logic, protocol handling and glue logic without excessive board complexity.
• High I/O density: 125 I/O pins enable direct connection to multiple peripherals and external interfaces, reducing the need for additional I/O expanders.
• Flexible power compatibility: 3.0 V–5.25 V supply range supports common digital voltage domains, simplifying integration with existing system power rails.
• Compact surface-mount package: 160-BQFP (160-PQFP 28×28) offers a standardized footprint for PCB assembly and space-constrained layouts.
• Commercial temperature rating: Specified 0 °C to 70 °C operation for applications targeting commercial environments.
• RoHS compliant: Meets common environmental compliance requirements for lead-free production.
