A40MX02-1PL68I

Overview

The A40MX02-1PL68I is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip Technology MX family, manufactured under the Actel brand. It features 295 Logic Elements and approximately 3,000 system gates, housed in a PLCC-68 surface-mount package. The device supports mixed-voltage operation with a core supply range of 3.3V to 5.5V and offers 57 user-programmable I/O pins. It operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key performance metrics include a maximum clock frequency of 109 MHz and a CLB combinational delay of 1.7 ns.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation for both core and I/Os at 3.3V or 5.0V levels.
• Provides deterministic, user-controllable timing with up to 100% resource utilization and pin locking capabilities.
• Includes unique in-system diagnostic and verification capability via Silicon Explorer II technology.

Applications

• High-capacity single-chip ASIC replacement
• Industrial control systems requiring mixed-voltage interfaces
• Automotive embedded logic applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and plastic PLCC-68 packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official Microchip documentation prior to procurement. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed due to humidity sensitivity classification.

Selection Notes

Select this component when 295 logic elements and 57 I/Os are sufficient for the design. Compare against the A40MX02-1VQG80 if a VQFP-80 package or commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) is preferred. Verify that the 109 MHz speed grade meets the target system clock requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A40MX02 series within the broader 40MX/42MX FPGA family. It shares architectural similarities with other variants like the A40MX02-2PL68IX79 but differs in speed grade and temperature rating. The series is characterized by flash-based non-volatile configuration technology.

Replacement Considerations

The A40MX02-2PL68IX79 is a confirmed substitute offering similar PLCC-68 packaging and logic density, though it specifies a 101 MHz maximum clock frequency and identical industrial temperature range.
