A42MX36-3PQ208

The A42MX36-3PQ208 is an MX-series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology. It provides a moderate logic fabric with 1,184 logic elements and approximately 54,000 gates, along with 176 user I/O pins and on-chip RAM.

Designed for commercial-grade applications, the device is supplied in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount package and operates from a 3 V to 5.25 V supply across a 0 °C to 70 °C temperature range. RoHS compliance is included.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 1,184 logic elements and approximately 54,000 gates provide a compact programmable fabric for implementing custom digital logic.
• On-chip Memory — 2,560 bits of embedded RAM for small data buffering, state storage, and control structures directly on the FPGA.
• I/O — 176 general-purpose I/O pins to support multiple interfaces and peripheral connections.
• Power Supply — Flexible operation from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate a range of commercial system power rails.
• Package & Mounting — 208-BFQFP (supplier package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB space-efficient integration.
• Operating Conditions — Commercial grade operation with an ambient temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant for alignment with common environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Commercial embedded systems — Implement moderate-density custom logic and peripheral control where a commercial temperature range and mid-range I/O count are required.
• Digital glue and interfacing — Bridge and adapt signals between multiple subsystems using the device’s 176 I/Os and on-chip logic.
• Prototyping and evaluation — Evaluate custom logic designs and system-level functions in a standard 208-BFQFP surface-mount package.

Unique Advantages

• Compact programmable fabric: 1,184 logic elements enable implementation of custom control, glue logic, and medium-complexity functions without external ASICs.
• Generous I/O count: 176 I/Os provide flexibility to interface with multiple peripherals and buses directly on-chip, reducing external component count.
• Versatile supply range: Support for 3 V to 5.25 V supplies simplifies integration into systems with common commercial power rails.
• Standard surface-mount packaging: 208-BFQFP (28×28) package allows straightforward PCB assembly and mechanical compatibility with established manufacturing flows.
• Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance supports environmental and materials requirements for commercial products.
