A42MX36-CQ208

The A42MX36-CQ208 is an MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology provided in a 208-BFCQFP package with tie bar. It integrates programmable logic, on-chip memory and I/O resources to support commercial embedded designs.

With a wide supply voltage range and a commercial operating temperature rating, the device is suitable for a variety of board-level applications where configurable logic, moderate gate density and a compact surface-mount package are required.

Key Features

• Programmable Logic Capacity — 2,438 CLBs and 1,184 logic element cells provide the device’s configurable logic resources for implementing custom digital functions.
• Logic Gate Count — Approximately 54,000 gates to support mid-range logic integration on a single FPGA.
• Embedded Memory — 2,560 bits of on-chip RAM for small data buffering and state storage.
• I/O Resources — 176 general-purpose I/O pins to interface with external peripherals and bus systems.
• Power Supply Flexibility — Operates from 3 V to 5.25 V to accommodate common board power rails.
• Package and Mounting — Supplied in a 208-BFCQFP with tie bar (supplier package: 208-CQFP, 75×75) and designed for surface-mount assembly.
• Commercial Grade Temperature — Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation, suitable for commercial electronics environments.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant to meet standard lead-free manufacturing requirements.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — A combination of CLBs, logic element cells and embedded RAM enables compact implementations of control and data-path functions without external logic.
• Ample I/O Count — 176 I/O pins reduce the need for additional I/O expanders when interfacing sensors, peripherals or external buses.
• Flexible Powering — Support for 3 V to 5.25 V rails simplifies integration into boards with common supply voltages.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package — The 208-CQFP footprint with tie bar delivers a dense package option for PCB designs that require a balance of pin count and board area.
• Commercial Temperature Suitability — Rated 0 °C to 70 °C to match the environmental requirements of consumer and commercial products.
• Regulatory Readiness — RoHS compliance supports assembly with lead-free processes and materials.
