Overview of A42MX24-FPQ208 – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 176 208-BFQFP
The A42MX24-FPQ208 is an MX series field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package. It provides mid-range logic capacity and a high count of I/O pins for designs that require flexible digital glue, custom logic and peripheral interfacing.
Designed for commercial applications, this Microchip Technology FPGA combines 912 logic elements and 36,000 gates with a wide supply voltage range and standard operating temperature limits to support a variety of embedded and interface-centric designs.
Key Features
- Core Logic 912 logic elements and 36,000 gates provide mid-range programmable logic for custom combinational and sequential logic functions.
- I/O Capability 176 general-purpose I/O pins enable dense peripheral and bus interfacing for multi-signal systems.
- Package & Mounting 208-BFQFP surface-mount package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.
- Power Operates from a 3 V to 5.25 V supply range to accommodate common digital power rails.
- Temperature & Grade Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C for typical commercial-environment deployments.
- On-chip Memory Total on-chip RAM reported as 0 bits (no embedded RAM resources specified in the product data).
- Regulatory RoHS compliant, supporting compliance requirements for lead-free manufacturing.
Typical Applications
- Embedded Control — Implement custom control logic and finite-state machines where moderate logic density and multiple I/O are required.
- I/O Expansion & Protocol Bridging — Use the 176 I/O pins to bridge between different peripherals, buses or sensor arrays in consumer and commercial devices.
- Prototyping & Evaluation — Suitable for development boards and proof-of-concept designs that need reconfigurable logic in a standard surface-mount package.
- User Interface & Peripheral Management — Manage multiplexed displays, buttons, LEDs and other interfaces that benefit from programmable glue logic and I/O routing.
Unique Advantages
- Mid-range Logic Density: 912 logic elements and 36,000 gates provide a balance of capacity and implementation simplicity for common FPGA tasks.
- High I/O Count: 176 I/O pins give designers flexibility to connect multiple peripherals or signals without external I/O expanders.
- Flexible Power Requirements: 3 V to 5.25 V operating range supports integration into existing commercial power domains.
- Standard Surface-Mount Packaging: 208-BFQFP / 208-PQFP (28×28) packaging supports conventional PCB assembly and placement workflows.
- RoHS Compliance: Facilitates use in lead-free manufacturing processes and supports regulatory conformity for commercial products.
