Overview of A42MX24-PQ208A – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC, 176 I/O, 208-BFQFP
The A42MX24-PQ208A is an MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC designed for reprogrammable logic implementations in demanding environments. It delivers a compact, surface-mount package with a high I/O count and verified logic capacity for embedded control and signal-processing tasks.
With automotive AEC-Q100 qualification, a wide 3 V to 5.25 V supply range and an extended operating temperature window, the device targets applications that require reliable, programmable logic in temperature- and voltage-variable conditions.
Key Features
- Logic Capacity Approximately 912 logic elements and 36,000 gates provide deterministic resources for custom logic, glue logic and peripheral interfacing.
- I/O Density 176 general-purpose I/O pins support a broad range of external interfaces and parallel connectivity options.
- On-chip Memory Total RAM bits: 0 (no embedded RAM), enabling designs that rely on external memory or register-centric architectures.
- Package and Mounting 208-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount configuration for compact board-level integration.
- Supply Voltage Operates from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common digital supply domains and mixed-voltage systems.
- Temperature Range Rated for −40°C to 125°C operation to support deployment in extended-temperature environments.
- Automotive Qualification AEC-Q100 qualification and automotive grade classification for designs requiring automotive-level component qualification.
- RoHS Compliance RoHS compliant for regulatory and environmental compatibility.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Systems Use in vehicle electronics designs where AEC-Q100 qualification and extended temperature range are required for reliable programmable logic functions.
- Embedded Control Programmable logic for control tasks and peripheral interfacing in resource-constrained embedded systems.
- High-Density I/O Interfaces Applications that need a large number of GPIOs or parallel connectivity benefit from the 176 I/O pins and compact package.
Unique Advantages
- Automotive-ready Qualification: AEC-Q100 qualification provides traceable component eligibility for automotive designs and related high-reliability applications.
- High I/O Count: 176 I/O pins reduce the need for external I/O expanders and simplify board-level routing for multi-signal interfaces.
- Flexible Supply Range: 3 V to 5.25 V operation allows integration into a variety of digital power domains without complex level-shifting.
- Compact Surface-Mount Package: 208-pin BFQFP (28×28 PQFP form factor) balances pin density with PCB footprint efficiency for space-constrained designs.
- Extended Temperature Capability: Rated from −40°C to 125°C to support designs that must operate reliably across a wide environmental window.
- Clear, Deterministic Resource Count: Known quantities—912 logic elements and 36,000 gates—help with capacity planning and predictable design partitioning.
