A42MX24-PQ160

The A42MX24-PQ160 is an MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology supplied in a 160-pin BQFP (28×28) surface-mount package. It provides programmable logic resources and up to 125 general-purpose I/O pins for custom digital designs in commercial-grade applications.

Designed for commercial embedded systems, the device offers 912 logic element cells (36,000 gates) and supports a wide supply range of 3 V to 5.25 V, making it suitable for a variety of 3 V and 5 V digital implementations within the 0 °C to 70 °C operating window.

Key Features

• Core / Logic 912 logic element cells and 36,000 gates provide a programmable fabric for implementing custom digital functions and glue logic.
• I/O Up to 125 I/O pins enable interfacing with multiple peripherals, sensors, and external devices.
• Memory Total on-chip RAM: 0 bits (no embedded RAM), enabling designs that rely on external memory or stateless logic functions.
• Power Operates from 3 V to 5.25 V, supporting common 3 V and 5 V system supplies for flexible integration.
• Package & Mounting 160-pin BQFP (28×28) package in a surface-mount form factor for PCB-mounted commercial applications.
• Temperature & Grade Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C, suitable for standard commercial environments.
• Regulatory RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement custom control logic and digital processing functions in commercial devices that operate within 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Interface and Protocol Bridging — Use available I/O to consolidate or translate between multiple peripheral interfaces in a single-package solution.
• Glue Logic and Peripheral Control — Replace discrete logic with programmable logic to simplify PCB design and reduce component count.
• User Interface and Peripheral Management — Manage buttons, indicators, and simple peripheral timing with flexible I/O and programmable logic.

Unique Advantages

• Flexible I/O Count: 125 I/O pins provide abundant connectivity for multi-peripheral systems and interface consolidation.
• Defined Logic Capacity: 912 logic element cells and 36,000 gates give clear, quantifiable resources for implementing medium-complexity designs.
• Wide Supply Compatibility: 3 V to 5.25 V operation lets the device be used in both 3 V and 5 V environments without additional level-shifting in many cases.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 160-BQFP (28×28) offers a PCB-friendly footprint for space-constrained commercial applications.
• Commercial Temperature Grade: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation to match standard commercial product requirements.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for environmentally conscious designs.
