A42MX36-2PQG208

The A42MX36-2PQG208 is an MX series field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology supplied in a 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package. It combines on-chip logic, I/O density and embedded RAM suitable for commercial-grade digital designs.

With 1,184 logic elements, approximately 2,560 bits of on-chip RAM and 176 I/O, this device targets applications that require configurable digital logic, moderate embedded memory and a flexible I/O complement within a 208-PQFP (28×28) package.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 1,184 logic elements (cells) providing programmable digital resources for custom logic functions.
• Gate Count — Approximately 54,000 gates to describe combinational and sequential logic structures.
• Embedded Memory — 2,560 bits of total on-chip RAM for small data buffers, state storage and lookup tables.
• I/O Density — 176 general-purpose I/O pins to support multiple signal interfaces and external device connections.
• Power Supply Range — Operates from 3 V to 5.25 V, accommodating a range of standard system supply rails.
• Package & Mounting — 208-BFQFP (supplier designation 208-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for board-level integration.
• Commercial Grade Temperature — Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation for standard commercial environments.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Control and Glue Logic — Use the device's 1,184 logic elements and 176 I/O to implement custom control, protocol conversion or interface glue logic on compact PCBs.
• Embedded Logic Prototyping — Deploy the FPGA for prototyping moderate-scale digital designs that require reprogrammable logic and small embedded RAM.
• Signal Routing and Interface Management — Leverage the high I/O count for signal routing, bus interfacing and managing multiple external peripherals.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: The combination of 1,184 logic elements and 2,560 bits of on-chip RAM supports a mix of combinational and small-state storage requirements without external memory for modest designs.
• High I/O Count: 176 I/O pins provide flexibility to connect multiple peripherals, interfaces and sensors directly to the FPGA package.
• Flexible Supply Range: Support for 3 V to 5.25 V operation allows integration with common system voltage rails.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: The 208-PQFP (28×28) package enables dense board layouts while remaining compatible with standard surface-mount assembly processes.
• Commercial Temperature Rating: Rated 0 °C to 70 °C for general-purpose commercial applications.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious product designs.
