A42MX24-PQG160I

The A42MX24-PQG160I is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology designed for industrial embedded applications. It provides a mid-range logic resource set with 912 logic elements (approximately 36,000 gates) and 125 general-purpose I/O pins, packaged in a 160-BQFP surface-mount package.

With a wide supply range (3 V to 5.5 V) and an industrial operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C, this device targets designs that require reliable, reconfigurable logic and flexible I/O in a compact SMD footprint.

Key Features

• Core Logic  912 logic elements providing approximately 36,000 gates for implementing custom digital logic, finite-state machines, and glue-logic functions.
• I/O Density  125 I/O pins to support multiple interfaces, peripheral connectivity and board-level signal routing in a single device.
• Memory  No embedded on-chip RAM (Total RAM Bits: 0), suitable for designs that rely on external memory or minimal internal storage.
• Power  Wide voltage supply range from 3 V to 5.5 V to accommodate different system power architectures and legacy voltage domains.
• Package & Mounting  160-BQFP package (supplier package: 160-PQFP 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for dense PCB integration.
• Industrial Temperature Range  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 85 °C for use in industrial environments.
• Standards Compliance  RoHS compliant, meeting common environmental and manufacturability requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Implement custom control logic, I/O consolidation, and protocol conversion where industrial temperature capability and robust I/O count are required.
• Embedded Interfaces  Provide glue logic and interface bridging for embedded systems requiring multiple peripheral connections and configurable signaling.
• Custom Logic & Prototyping  Use as a platform for developing and validating custom digital functions and moderate-complexity IP with reprogrammable flexibility.
• Signal Aggregation  Aggregate and route multiple digital signals on a single package, reducing board complexity and component count.
