A42MX24-FPQG160

The A42MX24-FPQG160 is a Microchip Technology MX family field programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 160-pin BQFP surface-mount package. It provides a programmable logic resource rated at 912 logic elements and approximately 36,000 gates with 125 general-purpose I/O, making it suitable for commercial embedded designs that require configurable logic and moderate I/O counts.

Designed for surface-mount assembly, this device operates from 3 V to 5.25 V and across a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The device is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Core Logic  912 logic elements and approximately 36,000 gates provide the core programmable logic capacity for implementing custom combinational and sequential functions.
• I/O Density  125 general-purpose I/O pins for interfacing with peripherals, sensors, and system buses.
• Memory  No on-chip RAM (Total RAM bits: 0); external memory is required for designs needing embedded storage.
• Power  Wide supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate a variety of system power rails.
• Package & Mounting  160-BQFP package (supplier device package listed as 160-PQFP 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB assembly.
• Operating Range & Grade  Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant for environmental and manufacturing process compatibility.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control  Implementation of control logic and glue functions in commercial embedded systems where a moderate logic count and 125 I/O are sufficient.
• Interface Bridging  Protocol adaptation and I/O interfacing tasks that require reconfigurable logic and multiple general-purpose I/O signals.
• Prototyping and Development  Hardware prototypes and proof-of-concept designs in commercial-development environments needing a surface-mount FPGA option.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Capacity: 912 logic elements and ~36,000 gates provide measurable programmable resources for mid-range logic designs without overspecifying.
• Generous I/O Count: 125 I/O pins enable flexible interfacing with peripherals and external devices, reducing the need for external I/O expanders.
• Flexible Power Compatibility: Support for 3 V to 5.25 V supply rails simplifies integration into systems with common commercial power domains.
• Surface-Mount 160-BQFP Package: Compact BQFP footprint and surface-mount mounting support standard PCB assembly flows.
• Commercial Temperature Grade: Rated for 0°C to 70°C operation to match typical commercial product requirements.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets RoHS requirements for environmentally conscious manufacturing.
