Overview of A42MX24-PQG208M – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 176 I/Os, 208-BFQFP
The A42MX24-PQG208M is an MX family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a 208-pin BFQFP package designed for military-grade applications. It provides a compact, reprogrammable logic solution with a balance of logic capacity, I/O density and wide operating voltage and temperature ranges for harsh environments.
Key Features
- Logic Capacity — 912 logic element cells and 36,000 gates deliver configurable digital logic resources for custom control, glue-logic and signal processing tasks.
- Logic Blocks (CLBs) — 1,890 CLBs provide a structured building block for implementing combinational and sequential logic.
- I/O Density — 176 user I/Os support interfacing to multiple peripherals, sensors and communication links.
- On-Chip Memory — Total on-chip RAM: 0 bits; suitable for designs that rely on external memory or that implement logic-centric functions without embedded RAM.
- Voltage Range — Operates from 3 V to 5.5 V, accommodating a range of legacy and modern power domains.
- Package & Mounting — 208-BFQFP (supplier package: 208-PQFP, 28×28 mm) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB layouts.
- Temperature & Grade — Military grade with an operating temperature range of −55 °C to 125 °C for reliable performance in extreme environments.
- RoHS Compliant — Manufactured to meet RoHS environmental requirements.
Typical Applications
- Defense & Aerospace Systems — Military-grade temperature rating and robust packaging make this FPGA suitable for avionics, communications and mission-critical control functions.
- Embedded Control — High I/O count supports sensor interfacing, motor control logic and custom peripheral management in embedded platforms.
- Signal Glue Logic — Use as a reprogrammable glue-logic device to adapt legacy interfaces and coordinate multiple subsystems.
- Communication Interfaces — Dense I/O enables implementation of protocol bridging and custom I/O mappings between subsystems.
Unique Advantages
- Military-grade robustness: Rated for −55 °C to 125 °C, the device is suited to applications requiring extended temperature operation.
- Flexible power input: 3 V to 5.5 V supply range allows integration with a variety of system power architectures.
- High I/O count: 176 I/Os reduce the need for external I/O expanders and simplify board-level design for complex interfacing.
- Compact surface-mount package: 208-pin BFQFP (28×28 PQFP footprint) supports space-constrained PCB layouts while maintaining connectivity.
- Reprogrammability: FPGA architecture lets designers iterate and update logic in-system to adapt to changing requirements without redesigning hardware.
