A40MX02-1PL68M

Overview

The A40MX02-1PL68M is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX family, designed as a high-capacity single-chip ASIC alternative. It features 295 logic elements and approximately 3,000 system gates. The device supports mixed-voltage operation with supply voltage ranges of 4.5 V to 5.5 V or 3.0 V to 3.6 V. It provides 57 user-programmable I/O pins and utilizes a 68-pin PLCC package. The component operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage core and I/O operation for compatibility with both 5.0V and 3.3V systems.
• Features fast wide-decode circuitry for deterministic timing performance.
• Includes up to 2.5 kbits of configurable dual-port SRAM for embedded memory applications.

Applications

• High capacity single-chip ASIC replacement
• Mixed-voltage interface bridging between 3.3V and 5V domains
• Industrial control logic implementation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' against official Microchip documentation to confirm it denotes the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package type and speed grade required for the design. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current datasheet before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a small FPGA footprint with mixed-voltage capability is required. The 68-pin PLCC package suits surface-mount designs needing moderate I/O density. Compare against the A40MX02-1PLG68I if commercial temperature range suffices, or consider higher gate counts in the A40MX series for more complex logic requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Actel/Microchip MX FPGA family, known for non-volatile flash-based technology. The A40MX02 variant represents the entry-level capacity within this series, offering a balance of logic resources and pin count for cost-sensitive applications requiring reprogrammability without external configuration memory.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the A40MX02 family such as the A40MX02-1PLG68I, provided the temperature grade and package match the application requirements. Cross-referencing speed grades and package types is essential when evaluating alternatives.
