A42MX36-2PQ208

The A42MX36-2PQ208 is a Microchip MX family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 208-pin BFQFP package. It provides a compact, surface-mount programmable-logic solution combining logic elements, on-chip RAM, and a substantial I/O count suitable for board-level integration.

With support for a wide supply range and standard commercial operating temperature, this device is intended for designs that require flexible, reprogrammable logic with up to 176 I/O pins and modest embedded memory resources.

Key Features

• Core Logic  1,184 logic elements (cells) and approximately 54,000 gates provide the programmable combinational and sequential resources for custom logic implementation.
• Logic Blocks (CLBs)  2,438 CLB/LAB units are available to structure and partition designs across the fabric.
• On‑Chip Memory  Approximately 2.56 kbits of embedded RAM (2,560 total RAM bits) for small data buffers, state storage, and control structures.
• I/O  176 general-purpose I/O pins support connectivity to peripherals, interfaces, and external logic.
• Package & Mounting  208-BFQFP / 208-PQFP (28 × 28) supplier package in a surface-mount form factor for standard PCB assembly.
• Power  Wide supply voltage range from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common logic power domains.
• Operating Range  Commercial temperature rating from 0 °C to 70 °C for typical consumer and commercial electronics environments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Compact embedded logic  Programmable control and glue-logic functions where a moderate number of logic elements and up to 176 I/O are required.
• Interface bridging  Implement custom I/O translation, parallel-to-serial bridging, or protocol adaptation using available I/O and logic resources.
• Prototyping and evaluation  Board-level prototyping of custom logic blocks and system integration before production, leveraging the reprogrammable fabric.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and I/O mix: The combination of 1,184 logic elements and 176 I/O pins supports designs that need both on-chip processing and extensive external interfacing.
• Compact package: The 208-BFQFP (28 × 28) surface-mount package enables high-density PCB layouts while remaining compatible with standard assembly processes.
• Flexible supply range: Operation from 3 V to 5.25 V allows integration into systems with common logic voltage rails.
• Embedded memory for control functions: Approximately 2.56 kbits of on-chip RAM supports small buffers, state machines, and control-data storage without external memory.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to RoHS requirements for environmental compliance in commercial products.
