A40MX02-1VQ80M

Overview

The A40MX02-1VQ80M is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip Technology MX family, specifically the A40MX02 series. It features 295 Logic Elements and approximately 3,000 system gates. The device supports mixed-voltage operation with supply voltage ranges of 4.75 V to 5.25 V for 5.0V core/I/O configurations or 3.0 V to 3.6 V for 3.3V configurations. It operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The component is housed in an 80-pin Very Thin Quad Flat Package (VQFP) suitable for surface-mount technology.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation allowing flexible integration with both 3.3V and 5.0V logic levels.
• Provides deterministic timing through user-controllable delay elements and pin locking capabilities.
• Includes configurable dual-port SRAM resources for efficient data buffering and processing.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable programmable logic.
• Automotive electronics applications compatible with standard voltage rails.
• Commercial communication interface adapters.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' against official Microchip documentation to confirm if it denotes a specific package variant, moisture sensitivity level, or environmental compliance status distinct from the base part number. Ensure compatibility with design-in tools such as Silicon Explorer II for configuration and verification purposes before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact 80-pin surface-mount solution is required for low-density logic applications. Compare against other A40MX02 variants based on necessary I/O count and package type. Confirm that the 3,000 gate capacity meets the design requirements without necessitating higher-capacity devices like the A40MX04 or A42MX series.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Actel MX FPGA family, now manufactured by Microchip Technology following the acquisition of Actel. The A40MX02 represents the entry-level density within the 40MX series, offering a cost-effective alternative to ASICs for prototyping and low-volume production runs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other packages within the A40MX02 series such as the A40MX02-1PLCC44 or A40MX02-1PQG100, provided pin counts and thermal characteristics align with the board layout. Cross-family migration to A42MX devices requires significant design re-verification due to architectural differences.
