Overview of A42MX36-1PQ208 – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 176 2560 208-BFQFP
The A42MX36-1PQ208 is an MX family field programmable gate array (FPGA) offered in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount package. Designed for commercial-grade applications, it provides a configurable digital fabric with explicit counts for logic, RAM and I/O to support custom digital designs.
This device integrates 54,000 gates, 1,184 logic elements and 2,560 bits of on-chip RAM, along with up to 176 I/O pins, enabling designers to implement moderate-complexity user‑defined logic in a single programmable device.
Key Features
- Core Logic Contains 54,000 gates and 1,184 logic elements to implement custom digital functions and control logic.
- On‑Chip Memory Includes 2,560 total RAM bits of embedded memory for small buffering, state storage or lookup tables.
- I/O Capability Provides 176 general-purpose I/O pins to interface with multiple peripherals, sensors and external logic devices.
- Package & Mounting Supplied in a 208‑BFQFP (208‑PQFP, 28×28 mm) surface-mount package for board-level integration.
- Power Range Operates across a supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate a variety of system power rails.
- Operating Temperature Rated for commercial use with an operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
- Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant to support regulatory requirements for lead‑free assembly.
Typical Applications
- I/O‑Intensive Embedded Systems Suited for designs that require up to 176 I/O signals for custom digital interfaces and peripheral aggregation in commercial products.
- Control and Glue Logic Appropriate for implementing programmable control logic and protocol bridging where moderate gate and logic element counts suffice.
- Prototyping and Development Useful in development boards and prototypes that need reconfigurable logic in a compact 208‑pin package.
Unique Advantages
- High logic capacity: 54,000 gates and 1,184 logic elements provide the resources to consolidate multiple discrete functions into a single programmable device.
- Generous I/O count: Up to 176 I/O pins reduce the need for external bus extenders or multiplexers in I/O‑heavy designs.
- Flexible power support: 3 V to 5.25 V supply range allows integration with common commercial power rails.
- Compact surface‑mount package: 208‑BFQFP (28×28 mm) package supports dense PCB layouts while maintaining straightforward assembly.
- Commercial-grade suitability: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and RoHS compliance for lead‑free production environments.
