A42MX36-1PQ208I

The A42MX36-1PQ208I is an MX family field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, offered in an industrial-grade 208-BFQFP surface-mount package. It provides a compact programmable-logic solution with a broad supply voltage range and an industrial operating temperature window.

With 1,184 logic elements, approximately 54,000 gates and 176 user I/O pins, this device targets designs that require moderate logic density, substantial I/O capability and reliable operation across -40 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• Programmable Logic Capacity 1,184 logic elements and approximately 54,000 gates to implement control, glue-logic and custom digital functions.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 2,560 bits of on-chip RAM for small data buffering and state storage.
• I/O Resources 176 user I/O pins to support multiple parallel interfaces and signal connections without external expanders.
• Supply Voltage Range Operates from 3 V to 5.5 V, enabling integration with common 3.3 V and 5 V system rails.
• Package and Mounting 208-BFQFP (supplier device package: 208-PQFP 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board layouts.
• Industrial Temperature and Grade Rated for industrial use with an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C and an industrial grade designation.
• RoHS Compliant Conforms to RoHS requirements for reduced hazardous substances.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and I/O mix: Combines 1,184 logic elements with 176 I/O pins to address applications that need moderate combinational/sequential logic alongside extensive external interfacing.
• Wide supply compatibility: The 3 V to 5.5 V range enables easy integration into systems with either 3.3 V or 5 V rails, simplifying power-rail planning.
• Industrial-grade robustness: -40 °C to 85 °C operation and industrial grading support deployment in temperature-varied environments.
• Compact SMD package: The 208-BFQFP surface-mount package (208-PQFP 28×28) helps reduce PCB footprint while providing substantial I/O density.
• Embedded memory for local data handling: On-chip RAM (≈2,560 bits) reduces reliance on external memory for small buffers or state machines.
• Environmentally compliant: RoHS compliance facilitates use in designs with environmental regulatory requirements.
