Overview of A42MX36-BG272 – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC, 202 I/O, 272-BBGA
The A42MX36-BG272 is a Microchip Technology MX series field programmable gate array (FPGA) provided in a 272-BBGA surface-mount package. It offers a moderate logic and memory resource set including 1,184 logic elements, approximately 2,560 bits of on‑chip RAM and 54,000 gates, with 202 user I/O pins for system integration.
Packaged in a 272‑PBGA (27×27) footprint and rated for commercial use, the device operates from a 3 V to 5.25 V supply and is specified for an ambient range of 0 °C to 70 °C, making it suitable for a wide range of standard electronic designs that require reprogrammable logic capacity in a compact BGA form factor.
Key Features
- Logic Capacity Provides 1,184 logic elements and 54,000 gates to implement combinational and sequential logic functions at the board level.
- Embedded Memory Approximately 2,560 bits of on‑chip RAM allow local storage for small buffers, state machines and register files.
- I/O Density 202 general-purpose I/O pins support interfacing to multiple peripherals and board-level signals without external I/O expanders.
- Package & Mounting Delivered in a 272‑BBGA package (supplier device package 272‑PBGA 27×27) for surface-mount assembly, enabling a compact PCB footprint.
- Power Supply Range Operates from 3 V to 5.25 V supply rails to match common logic and legacy voltage domains.
- Commercial Grade Temperature Specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation for standard commercial applications.
- Manufacturer & Family Part of Microchip Technology’s MX FPGA family, supporting integration into MX‑based designs.
- RoHS Compliant Manufactured to meet RoHS environmental requirements.
Typical Applications
- Board-level glue logic Use the device to consolidate discrete logic and implement custom interfacing functions with up to 202 I/O pins.
- Control and state machines 1,184 logic elements and embedded RAM support finite-state controllers and small control frameworks.
- Prototyping and development Reprogrammable logic capacity in a compact BGA package enables iterative hardware development and proof-of-concept designs.
Unique Advantages
- Balanced resource set: Combines a measurable logic element count with embedded RAM and a high I/O count for flexible implementation of mid‑scale logic designs.
- Compact BGA footprint: 272‑BBGA (272‑PBGA 27×27) packaging reduces PCB area while providing high I/O density for space‑constrained systems.
- Wide supply compatibility: Support for 3 V to 5.25 V supplies enables interfacing with a range of legacy and modern voltage domains without external level shifting in many cases.
- Commercial temperature rating: Specified 0 °C to 70 °C operation aligns with standard commercial electronics deployment and procurement cycles.
- RoHS compliance: Environmentally compliant manufacturing supports regulatory and assembly requirements.
