A40MX02-1PLG44

Overview

The A40MX02-1PLG44 is a field-programmable gate array from the Microchip MX series, featuring 295 logic elements and approximately 3000 system gates. It provides 34 I/O pins within a PLCC-44 surface-mount package. The device operates at supply voltages of 3.3 V or 5 V, with a specified range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V for the 5 V mode. It supports commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C. This non-volatile FPGA utilizes flash technology for instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.

Feature Summary

• Instant-on capability due to embedded non-volatile flash configuration storage
• Supports both 3.3 V and 5 V power supply domains
• Low pin count design suitable for compact applications

Applications

• Simple digital logic replacement
• Interface bridging between different voltage domains
• Control logic for peripheral devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1' indicates the speed grade and 'PLG44' denotes the plastic leaded chip carrier package. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official Microchip documentation prior to integration. Ensure ESD handling procedures are followed as the component exhibits moisture sensitivity. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against current datasheets to confirm availability and manufacturing status.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a small form factor with 34 I/O lines is required. Compare logic element counts against more complex MX series variants if higher density is needed. Verify that the 0°C to +70°C operating range meets environmental requirements. Consider the PLCC-44 footprint compatibility during PCB layout planning.

Part Context

This component belongs to the A40MX02 family, which shares core architecture with other low-density FPGAs in the MX line. It is functionally similar to variants like the A40MX02-1VQG80 but differs in package type and I/O count. The series is characterized by its flash-based non-volatility and ease of use compared to SRAM-based FPGAs requiring external configuration chips.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other A40MX02 variants with different packages, such as A40MX02-1VQG80 (VQFP-80) or A40MX02-PLG68I (PLCC-68). Pin-compatible replacements are limited; verify pinout differences before swapping packages. Upgrading to higher capacity parts like A40MX04 may require schematic changes.
