A42MX24-PQG208A

The A42MX24-PQG208A is an MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for board-level integration that requires programmable logic and substantial I/O capacity. It combines a compact 208-BFQFP package with a mix of logic resources and I/O to address embedded and automotive-qualified applications.

Key characteristics include 912 logic elements, approximately 36,000 gates, 176 I/Os, AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use, a wide operating temperature range of −40°C to 125°C, and a supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.25 V—making it suitable for designs that require reliability across extended temperatures and flexible power rails.

Key Features

• Core and Logic Capacity The device provides 912 logic elements and approximately 36,000 gates for implementing custom logic functions and glue logic at the board level.
• I/O Density 176 user I/O pins enable connection to multiple external signals and peripherals directly from the FPGA package.
• On-Chip Memory No embedded RAM bits are provided on this device (Total RAM Bits = 0), suitable for designs that use external memory or require minimal internal data storage.
• Voltage Supply Supports a wide supply range from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common system power rails.
• Package and Mounting Surface-mount device in a 208-BFQFP supplier package (208-PQFP, 28×28 mm) for compact PCB layouts and industry-standard assembly.
• Automotive Qualification and Temperature Automotive grade with AEC-Q100 qualification and an operating temperature range of −40°C to 125°C for use in temperature-demanding environments.
• Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Systems — Suitable for automotive electronic modules that require AEC-Q100 qualification and extended operating temperature capability.
• I/O-Intensive Embedded Designs — Ideal for board-level designs that need to handle up to 176 external signals for interfacing and control tasks.
• Compact PCB Integration — The 208-PQFP (28×28) surface-mount package supports dense, space-constrained assemblies where a small footprint is required.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-Grade Reliability: AEC-Q100 qualification combined with −40°C to 125°C operating range supports deployment in demanding environments.
• High I/O Count: 176 I/Os provide flexibility for complex board-level interconnect and signal routing without external multiplexing.
• Balanced Logic Resources: 912 logic elements and ~36,000 gates offer a practical balance of integration for glue logic and moderate FPGA functions.
• Flexible Power Integration: 3 V to 5.25 V supply range allows use with common system power domains.
• Industry-Standard Packaging: 208-BFQFP (208-PQFP, 28×28) and surface-mount construction simplify PCB design and assembly.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious product designs.
