A42MX36-1PQG208M

The A42MX36-1PQG208M is a field programmable gate array (FPGA) offered in a 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package. It provides a balance of on-chip logic, embedded memory, and a substantial I/O count for designs requiring reconfigurable digital logic in systems that demand military-grade operating range and broad supply voltage tolerance.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Approximately 1,184 logic elements and 54,000 equivalent gates enable user-defined combinational and sequential logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 2,560 bits of on-chip RAM for small lookup tables, buffering, and state storage.
• I/O Capacity  176 general-purpose I/O pins to support dense peripheral and bus interfacing.
• Power  Wide supply voltage range from 3 V to 5.5 V to accommodate diverse system power architectures.
• Package & Mounting  Supplied in a 208-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) for surface-mount PCB assembly.
• Temperature & Grade  Military grade device rated for operation from −55°C to 125°C for applications that require extended temperature capability.
• Reliability  RoHS compliant construction for environmentally regulated programs.

Typical Applications

• Military and Defense Systems  Designed for deployments that require military-grade temperature performance (−55°C to 125°C) and robust logic/I/O integration.
• I/O-Intensive Control  High I/O count (176 pins) suits control and interface roles where multiple peripherals, buses, or sensors must be connected.
• Embedded Logic and Glue  The available logic elements and on-chip RAM provide capability for custom glue logic, protocol bridging, and small state machines.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, surface-mount integration: The 208-BFQFP package enables high-density PCB designs while keeping the FPGA footprint manageable.
• Broad supply tolerance: 3 V to 5.5 V operation allows flexibility across different system power domains and legacy voltage levels.
• Military-grade temperature range: Rated from −55°C to 125°C for deployments requiring extended environmental performance.
• Substantial I/O capability: 176 I/O pins reduce the need for external multiplexing or I/O expanders in I/O-heavy designs.
• Embedded logic and memory: ~1,184 logic elements and ~2,560 bits of RAM enable compact implementation of custom digital functions and buffering.
